I have had cases where that is true, But Lenovo screwed up BIOS updates, which supposedly included the appropriate certificate data, on two of my systems. I don't know if that will be fixed by Microsoft in time. JohnD

OK, I started it. When do I do the two reboots? JohnD Never mind. It finished and the Device Security screen says all is well. Thanks for your help. JohnD

They have Attached are the results of the Check-UEFI.bat script.

1. The command Get-UEFISecureBootCerts is not recognized. Ran in Powershell with admin. 2. But I think you hit on something. I checked my two other computers. They have been updated and they both have the "Microsoft Option ROM UEFI CA 2023" entry listed. I suspect that the BIOS update that...

I am still having an issue with my Lenovo ThinkPad laptop. The certificate has been entered as I get "True" from the check for the 2023 version. I tried these commands to do the update" Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecureBoot" -Name "AvailableUpdates" -Value...

OK, it looks like I got everything back. I was able to get a hold of TP-Link support and the support person said all I had to do was change the default gateway IP address and the router would resolve everything else. So that is what I did and now it looks good. Thanks all for your help, JohnD

1. That would be difficult. I have too many to shut off including a number of IoT devices. I can disconnect all devices from the router fairly easily as I have two cables going to wired computers and two cables going to switches which handle everything else. 2. You are saying disconnect the...

It won't let me do that. I am wondering if I have to change the default gateway first, then change the pool range to correspond to the gateway? JohnD

I bought a new router and it has a different DHCP pool range from my old router. Old = 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.128; New = 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.253. I had two NAS devices set at 192.168.1.81 and 192.168.1.82. I can actually access these through Windows, but they do not appear on the router's...

No go. Here are the results from the two "Check" jobs.

My Lenovo laptop has everything installed, but still showing old as using the old certificate. I know it is there, but not being picked up in Device Security. What can I run. I have rebooted several times. Here is the information: Data from the Check-UEFI.bat: Secure Boot: ON Virtualization...

OK I found that two systems had Secure Boot turned off. Don’t know why. I turned it on on both computers. The newer one had the upgraded certificate and it now displays the status as updated. The other one does not have the updated certificate yet. I will check for a few days to see if it gets...

I attempted to check the state of the secure boot certificate on a system I work on using the PS command "[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match ’Windows UEFI CA 2023’". However on this system I received an error indicating that "Get-SecureBootUEFI variable...

Thanks. I am not use to seeing the same update coming down almost several days in a row. JohnD

I started to receive this update on 3/15: "9PLJQ12FQ3CV-MicrosoftCorporationII.WinAppRuntime.Main.1.8" Ever since 3/22 it has reinstalled every other day between 3/22 and 3/28. It does not show in Windows Updates but does show in Reliability Monitor. What is this thing? JohnD
