Secure boot expiry June 2026

[mvallevand]

I just noted that my main Windows PC has a BIOS update and followed up to find out that my BIOS will need to be updated to run with Secure Boot after June 2026.  I found this site pretty informative https://windowsforum.com/threads/secure-...in.397238/ so if you use Secure Boot you might to read it.  The tl;dr version is trying running this in a powershell admin to see if it is True or False.

Code:

[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Windows UEFI CA 2023'
False

 

I confirmed I had a failing string

Code:

[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011'
True

This seems like a big deal to those of us who almost never update. In your opinion can we run Nextpvr using Linux only, back end front end Happ IR remote? Replace Win10/11

If you don't care about updating your PC, you probably don't need to enable secure boot anyway. Maybe first read up on what it offers https://windowsforum.com/threads/secure-...ty.361457/

However this is not a Window question, since Linux supports secure boot too so if it fails you still would disable it.

To answer your question I have used Linux since before v5 was publicly released and would never go back to Windows for production use. There is no client in Linux so I am unsure what you would want the Hauppauge IR remote to do.

"no client in Linux" is what I was not sure on. Kodi is the only way I see. Sub's client on Linux Would be what we need.

Thanks for your help. You go above and beyond.
