Still trying to get the P16 Gen 3 up to SVN 9.0. Here is output from .\update_UEFI-CA2023.ps1 -stage WARNING: Cannot confirm if W11 26H1 (28020.2236) has the latest files. SUCCESS: NO UPDATES ARE REQUIRED. Copilot says the SVN 9.0 stuff needs to come from Lenovo and is not yet forthcoming...

Hey @garlin: On my 2020 vintage (11th Gen Intel) Lenovo Hybrid Tablet X12 I'm stuck in a loop. I think this is the relevant output from the check script run with audit verbose options engaged: EFI Files --------- Windows Boot Manager [Windows UEFI CA 2023] is ALLOWED. Registry...

Just ran mine on a couple of test machines (one Lenovo, one ASUS). Both remain completely clean and up-to-date. Used yesterday's (06/08/2026) script versions. --Ed--

Indeed I ran 26H1 on a test system and a month or two back it switched itself over to the Dev Channel. I still don't see the new "Experimental" and "Beta" layout in Windows Insider Program on that PC, in fact. Go figure! --Ed--

AFAIK, 26H1 is a kind of "boutique release" for Windows 11 aimed primarily at PCs (laptops, mostly) running Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 CPUs (so not even "first-generation Copilot+ PCs" qualify). None of your listed platforms would meet those criteria. Best to stick with 24H2/25H2 and plan to move up...

Is the absence of the NVIDIA GPU making things better? Did you physically remove it, or just uninstall it? Hope the changes are helping. --Ed--

Just grabbed it. Thanks for the heads-up! --Ed--

Here's a good one. Just went to check to see if I needed an update for my Wave Keys and M650 mouse. Logi Options+ was MIA and SetPoint was running instead. Have no idea how this happened, but Revo showed both SetPoint and Logi Options+ installed. Couldn't get Logi Options+ to run at all. Ended...

@garlin: thanks for changing your ZIP file naming convention. As you can see from my Firefox downloads page, it works quite nicely and doesn't incur the (n) suffix at the end of the filename, as the (3) and (2) instances showing illustrate. Thanks again, --Ed--

When I visited the AMD download page to grab the x64 chipset drivers, it threw a 404 ("not found") error. I found the latest driver quite easily at TechPowerUp instead Latest AMD Ryzen Chipset Drivers 8.05.04.516 Download. HTH, --Ed--

Wow! That's pretty darn mysterious. How did you figure this out? Thanks for persisting, and thanks for sharing the solution. Good work. --Ed--

@garlin: A propos of the various scripts inside the new C:/Windows/SecureBoot/ExampleRolloutScripts folder -- see, for example: "C:\Windows\SecureBoot\ExampleRolloutScripts\Detect-SecureBootCertUpdateStatus.ps1" -- have you had a chance to check these out? Most of them are HUGE (thousands of...

Dear Garlin: May I suggest you rename your zip files to include posting date? E.g. SecureBoot-CA-2023-Updates-260421.zip intead of SecureBoot-CA-2023-Updates.zip? Makes it easier to see what's current and more straightforward to groom my Downloads folder in the aftermath... No big deal, but...

Copilot is pretty helpful with your particular scenario. Here's what it says: HTH, --Ed--
