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


phil, the option is urs . do u use secure boot. if you dont use it you have nothing to worry about you pc is not going to die if you dont have the new certs. if you do mess something up. you can just pull your cmos battery and leave it out for a min or so . that will reset it back to default bios. another option if your worried is to make a iso file using rufus and select the ca 2023 cert to automatically burn the image with that file. i used garlin's latest script to update my 14 year old hp to be as they say ready when the time comes. the only thing i had issues with was the powershell commands .But i can say garlins scripts do work.

Thanks for the info. And yes, my PC is in the list, but the updates are spread throughout June and even July for some weird reason.

Better late than never. If you ever have to reset your BIOS for any reason, it saves you from having to do the manual steps.

@garlin ,

My 2019 Dell XPS 8930 SE (last BIOS version 1.31) did not update the Secure Boot with the new certificates after the June Windows Update to 26200.8655) - Computer Specs 1. My 2020 Dell XPS XPS 15 7590 - Computer Spec 2, also not on the supported list for Dell BIOS updates, miraculously, and without notice, did update itself to the new certificates about six weeks ago, according to the Windows Device Security, Secure Boot screen.

It appears that I will have to manually update my 8930 Secure Boot keys. Is this post still the latest and applicable to that computer: How to check if your Secure Boot certs are updated. (three methods)?

Short answer:

1. Download the scripts from the first post.

2. Run the check script:
Code: 
Check-UEFI.bat  Verbose

3. Post the report output, and we'll help you figure where your XPS 8930 stands right now. The update scripts are designed to handle 3 different scenarios, ranging from ideal to the hardest. But if Dell has pushed either a BIOS update, or submitted a KEK file to MS (easier for them), then your PC may be in a better state.
