Microsoft has clarified what will happen to Windows 11 PCs that do not receive the upcoming Secure Boot certificate updates before the June 2026 deadline.
The issue centers on Secure Boot certificates introduced in 2011, set to expire in June 2026. These verify that Windows boots using trusted software and protect against low-level malware such as bootkits.
According to Microsoft, PCs that ignore the update could face:
- Reduced protection against boot-level malware and unauthorized bootloaders
- Inability to receive future Secure Boot revocation updates
- Potential failures when installing future Windows feature updates
- Boot errors or recovery screens after future firmware or security changes
- Compatibility issues with newer Windows boot components
Many systems will continue to boot normally after June 2026, so users should not expect sudden unusability. However, unsupported or older devices without updated certificates are most vulnerable.
Microsoft recommends keeping Windows Update enabled, ensuring Secure Boot is on in UEFI/BIOS settings, and installing firmware updates from the PC manufacturer.

@Most0__ Linux has more in common with MacOS than it does with Windows. Depending on the task Linux is less complicated on various distros to do the same stuff. It goes both ways though because for some tasks Windows is less complicated.
I use both daily.

Linux elitists still pretending that their OS isn't just windows but more complicated and less compatible

What’s the one Windows software that is still keeping you from switching to Linux 100%?

I wanted to be generous and assume you were a bot. Lol. Lmao even.

Linux users and transsexuals share the need of constant validation. It's not enough that they have to fool themselves into thinking they're right, they need you to agree with them.

@WilliamSwa77881 @JTHEFOOL777 @Pirat_Nation Excellent observation WilliamSwa77881, however this is twitter. We are not in a formal debate and so I can state an opinion with my anecdotal evidence freely. It is almost as though I am venting a frustration instead of trying to sell you something.

@TheMG3D It is a new category for me - fastfood art. Not dissimilar to getting a McDonald's Big Mac. Something else makes it for you without any kind of intentionality or love, but it sure does the job for people who do not care what they stuff down their gullet.
English
Nothing against fastfood art, but I don't think I would use it if I am hungry for a real meal. Cheap and fast, no love or soul... but hey, sure hits the spot if you are lazy and tired after a long day at work.
Just wish it did not need to train off real people's work.
English
This framing is insane. While the rich and powerful wanting to control it is on the money, not sure I have seen anyone "beaten and downtrodden" loving AI.
It is mostly just people who don't want to invest time in learning. Like GenAI making fastfood "art" for them.
Mr. Nobody@MmisterNobody
I’ve noticed there are overwhelmingly two camps cheering for AI: The rich and powerful tech elites who stand to control it… and the forgotten, beaten-down masses who feel they were never given a real chance in the first place. One sees AI as the ultimate tool for dominance. The other sees it as the last hope for escape. For generations, humanity has warned itself about this exact moment. In novels. In films. In songs. In prophecy. The message kept resurfacing. Create something beyond your control, and eventually it will turn on its creator. We laughed at the warnings. We turned them into entertainment. Now we’re racing toward them at full speed, calling it progress.

@Stormi_luv Introvert, do not go out and meet people often. I don't really feel the need to go find someone, I am fine being at peace until someone cool comes along.
English
Honestly, anyone who uses language like "affording" them is not someone I would ever want to date. I don't want to buy you, I do not want to go shopping for a companion. We are either equals and share responsibility or I am not interested.
Gives me the "ick"

If your husband cannot afford you at the same level that your parents raised you. Do not get married to said man.

@Chatpatibaatein The same way some people feel the need to create drama around them to feel comfortable. You get used to being depressed and alone and you get comfortable with lashing out.
It is sad, but ultimately it is up to the person to decide they want better for themselves and improve.

@k4l4shn1k0v34 > build a society where only megacorps can afford to pay people
> force all other alternatives to close down
> wonder why megacorps own everything
Yeah idk, I think if anything we should be propping small businesses up so they can afford it and compete.

If you can't afford to pay your employees a living wage then you should go out of business who gaf

@JTHEFOOL777 @Pirat_Nation I work IT. Our offices use Windows, and I am hyper aware of Windows updates because lately they have been causing around 60% of our problems.
I use Linux at home for my gaming pc. I have had less breaks and a smother experience on it.
Microsoft lost the plot.

@Pirat_Nation Every Windows "update"
is like an ad for Linux.

@petelmire I mean I get it. Linux users can be pretty insufferable online sometimes.
The only sin I can't forgive is using Adobe products, personally :)

Here's what I understood and why I issued a retraction:
1. Riot uses IOMMU protection to only isolate its game's memory addresses from other devices
2. Just that.
Riot Games@riotgames
Does Vanguard physically damage hardware? No. Does this impact hardware or software in any ways unrelated to Riot’s games? No. The IOMMU security protection does not impact hardware, and would only impact the ability of players using DMA cheat devices to play our games. Are normal players affected? Players not using DMA cheat hardware are unaffected. Why target DMA cheats? DMA-based cheats are among the most sophisticated forms of cheating because they attempt to bypass traditional software detection by accessing memory directly through external hardware. I’m affected by this. How do I fix it? To continue cheating in other titles with this device, you may simply disable IOMMU in BIOS in the same place that you enabled it. Of course, you still won’t be able to play our games with these cheat devices enabled. Why did Riot joke about “bricking” PCs? We didn’t. The “paperweight” comment was about VALORANT cheat devices that no longer work in VALORANT. No hardware is being damaged and no other functionalities are impacted.

@cloudwing0 I think women and men think of this a very different way. Women can see it as dehumanizing, and men see it as being desirable. I imagine if men were pined after they would feel very differently.
Humans should just be warm and kind to each other.

Before I deactivate, I wanna clarify I didn't know my private life would be revealed like this. I trusted my moots and friends but it turns out I’m getting exposed. I’m leaving because you are all jealous of me and can’t accept the fact that Derpixon is the best animator oat
