Secure Boot is a security feature in the latest generation of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) in Windows. It replaced the outdated BIOS architecture of modern PCs. It is designed to protect your system from threats and is enabled by default, but in some cases you may want to disable it. Here's how to disable secure boot.
How do I disable secure boot in Windows 11?
Disabling Secure Boot can only be done in the UEFI (sometimes known as its predecessor, the BIOS). To access and disable Secure Boot, follow these steps:
Once it starts booting again, you'll need to press the UEFI enter key. This will vary from system to system so you may need to consult your manual, but it's usually Delete, Escape, F1, F2, F10, or F12.
Look for a Security section and navigate to it using your mouse or keyboard. Navigating through each UEFI is different for each manufacturer, so check your manual if you need help.
