  1. OEM's and their Secure Boot Keys (2023) BIOS Update Policy

    Since MSI cut their support branch for this product - i updated the keys manually, and it worked even automated from Windows. Tho, it took like 7 restarts till was finally applied. Only thing i changed in BIOS - for boot certificates, was setting it to - Custom (User Mode) - from Standard...

  2. OEM's and their Secure Boot Keys (2023) BIOS Update Policy

    True, for now. But you lose protection against bootkits malware (which hides in your PC's startup process before Windows even loads). Most antivirus software can’t see or stop these if Secure Boot is off. And since the old security certificates expire in June 2026, if Secure Boot is off -your...

  3. OEM's and their Secure Boot Keys (2023) BIOS Update Policy

    Hardware wise - they're above average, generally speaking. Even excel in some cases. Software wise - they're bellow average, same goes for Updates - as can be seen above. Have a Lenovo and a HP laptop as well, but up till 2021 - i fixed/maintained laptops from every known brand - even...

  4. OEM's and their Secure Boot Keys (2023) BIOS Update Policy

    Have an Intel 9th Gen MSI Laptop released in 2020, bought in 2021 - while the last BIOS Update is from 09.29.2020. And Yes, MSI is one the stingiest brands - in terms of Drivers (this too - weren't updated anymore even a year after release) & BIOS Updates. Simply put... MSI offers decent...

  5. How to check if your Secure Boot certs are updated. (three methods)

    You're probably correct. You could check with... https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfjb8p I just thought this was a newer firmware: Download Surface Pro 7 Drivers and Firmware from Official Microsoft Download Center - for your model, but don't see it in updates history - where last is...

    Microsoft new commitment to Windows 11 quality

    Windows was released in 1985. So... 41 years latter, a blog about Windows quality - by the current President of Windows and Devices (1 of the 5000+ Engineers working for Microsoft) - has the same effect on me - as McDonald’s CEO forcing himself to consume one of their products... Especially...

  8. Solved garlin's PowerShell scripts for updating Secure Boot CA 2023

    Not sure about every Brand, but got confirmation from MSI - that they dropped support for all systems up-to Intel 11th Gen - despite being labeled as officially supported by Microsoft. They'll offer updates only for 12th Gen and above (and AMD equivalent) - and claimed we should count on...

  9. Solved garlin's PowerShell scripts for updating Secure Boot CA 2023

    To much hassle, most people are scared to do that from BIOS menu - and for a good reason. Only mandatory BIOS option (for some, for other - not even this) - is to set the Secure Keys to "Custom" instead of "Standard (which in some cases locks the Factory Keys - and only a BIOS update can change...

  10. Solved How To Get Rid Of "Install The Latest PowerShell For New Features And Improvements" From Terminal

    Didn't say he should remove it. I'm aware there's still some OS features, legacy scripts/modules - which explicitly target PowerShell 5.1, since PowerShell 7 uses .NET Core. But i doubt he's using PS for active directory cmdlets, DSC management, scripts dependent of full .NET F. - which are not...

  11. Solved How To Get Rid Of "Install The Latest PowerShell For New Features And Improvements" From Terminal

    Latest PowerShell is "still/also" released by Microsoft - it's not like it's some 3rd party version. So don't get the point of using the outdated version - which comes with Windows, when the latest is still lite (note like Notepad, Paint, Photos or similar Windows apps) - but so much better (in so many...

  12. Unreliable Loading of Monitor Colour Profiles

    Maybe the Monitor doesn't support this feature - cause your Nvidia GPU is supported. Or maybe, it's even for some weird reason - as pointed out by others: Enable or Disable Auto Color Management for Apps in Windows 11 Just to be sure: Win + R - > regedit...

  13. Unreliable Loading of Monitor Colour Profiles

    Would also recommend Disabling ACM (Auto Colour Management) - since it interferes with color accuracy - as set by the Display's ICC/ICM profile. As pointed out in next video...

  14. Unreliable Loading of Monitor Colour Profiles

    DisplayCAL main dev quit the project for good - back in 2019, due to personal stuff. But there's a fork - a group of devs whom weren't whiling to give up on it, and turned-it into a passion project - intended to bring it up to date (modernize it - based on their claims). Still beta, but hey -...

  15. Solved I tried this free Microsoft cleanup tool to see if it'd speed up my Windows PC - here's the result

    Tried it several times, nothing special features wise - just another tool which offers quick access to integrated Windows settings. On the other hand, and this is quite ironic (taking into account - it's also meant to clean left behind junk and such) - it's a real mess in the way it updates...
