Turn Off Microsoft's Restricted Boot ("Secure Boot")

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 08, 2025

3 days ago we said "Disable Microsoft's restricted boot ("Secure Boot")" and we said the same 6 days ago (here and in the sister site).

"The impact of Microsoft's UEFI timebomb will depend on how many turned off restricted boot," an associate has just noted.

Turn it off now.

We're still running a series on this issue.

Series index:

1. The UEFI 9/11 - Part I - Introduction to Impending Catastrophe (Microsoft Preventing People From Booting Non-Windows Systems)
2. The UEFI 9/11 - Part II - Campaign of Censorship and Defamation Against Critics
3. The UEFI 9/11 - Part III - Chaos is Scheduled to Happen Second Thursday of September (No Matter What the Microsofters Tell You)
4. The UEFI 9/11 - Part IV - External Interference
5. The UEFI 9/11 - Part V - This is Not a Drill (Disable "SecureBoot" Now)
6. The UEFI 9/11 - Part VI - This Serious Harm Was Planned for Over a Decade, Not an Accident or Merely Some Misfortune
7. The UEFI 9/11 - Part VII - This Coming Week Many PCs Will Refuse to Boot "Linux" (Because of Microsoft's Expired Certificate)
8. The UEFI 9/11 - Part VIII - Denial of Service and Selling Us WSL (Windows) Instead of "Risky" (Prone by Breakage by Microsoft) GNU/Linux

Don't take the risk, turn the thing off today. █
