A very quick update and only a single reboot.

To activate Microsoft Defender I believe you need to log on to your Microsoft Account. It's still free though.

I have 4 systems all on 26200.8117. One shows that the boot certificates are applied as above, the other 3 just show secure boot is on as normal and no mention of certificates, Perhaps this feature is another "gradual rollout"?

Like you, I have a dedicated OS drive and a data drive. Both are SSDs - 256Gb and 2Tb. I use Macrium Reflect free edition to make an image of my C drive twice a week using an automated Macrium schedule. One on Tuesday at 9am (before patch Tuesday) which is written to my data drive.,and one...

Getting "install error 0x800f0983" on two systems - third completed OK. Both these systems had a repair install last month due to similar errors. The error comes up after the install reaches 100%.
