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


There was no need to update the Mosby USB stick as it never boots the device, rather it only appends and amends the UEFI in the NVRAM.
Okay, good to know. I wasn't sure if I even needed to bother.

Sorry that went over my head a little. So please just tell me what I should do? Or nothing? And would this be any factor in my boot problems? Thank you for your help btw, really appreciate your efforts.
That means you didn't revoke the CA 2011 certs yet. Which would be a good thing, since it could have been a potential blocker to booting. But if you're still have boot problems, it means the reason lies somewhere else.

UEFI KEK Certs
--------------
Microsoft Corporation KEK CA 2011
REQUIRED ACTION
===============

Run the command:
Update_UEFI-CA2023.ps1 -Revoke

Finish the UEFI steps to manually add the [KEK CA 2023] cert, if the script provided instructions.[/CODE]
You have an unsupported BIOS.

The manual steps (from the README_UEFI.TXT) are to look in your BIOS menu, for an option to manually add a KEK key.

If you find this option, it will provide a list of drive devices and you search the device(s) until you find an \EFI folder. Under the EFI folder will be a "Certs" subfolder. In that folder is a KEK CA 2023 file to import.

Presuming that step goes well, restart Windows. Now run the update script again. If you don't have a KEK manual enrollment option, we need to proceed to deleting all keys first from the BIOS menu. Then restart Windows, and run the update script again.
