I had the same issue. Resolved with the instructions in How to manage the Windows Boot Manager revocations for Secure Boot changes associated with CVE-2023-24932 | Microsoft Support

Starting with the July 9, 2024, updates, the SVN is being incremented in the Boot Manager and the update to the firmware. The firmware update is optional and can be applied by following this step:

1: Apply the SVN update to the firmware. To do this, open a Command Prompt window as an Administrator, type each of the following commands separately, and then press Enter:

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Secureboot /v AvailableUpdates /t REG_DWORD /d 0x200 /f

2: Then start the task in task manager
Start-ScheduledTask -TaskName "\Microsoft\Windows\PI\Secure-Boot-Update"

PS: command no. 2 give me an error. I started the task manually from Task Manager (under "Microsoft\Windows\PI\Secure-Boot-Update")

Yes, I had the same error. As I wrote before, you must open Task Manager, search for the first task you see under "Microsoft\Windows\PI". The task is named "Secure-Boot-Update". Run it and reboot.

UPDATE: 2026-09-10

1. September 2026 LCU introduced SVN 11.0, requiring a new minimum UBR for supported releases
2. Get-SignatureDataSVN fails to cast SVN as type [version] in Check_DBXUpdate.bin.ps1

Fixed the bug where Check_DBXUpdate.bin.ps1 incorrectly reports DBX is missing 1 out of 3 SVN's.

Updated the check for your Windows monthly update level, to reflect Sept 2026 is required for having the latest Secure Boot changes.

I don't have anything called Microsoft\Windows\PI in Task Manager.

Going through this every month after patch Tuesday is getting to be too much for this old man. In a month's time I forget what to do and how to do it.

I desperately miss Windows 7.

@nikki605 Ignore the DBX error, it's a reporting bug fixed by today's ZIP file update.

That's a fixed bug. Download the ZIP file again.
I downloaded the new ZIP file. This looks good, I think:

I also ran the latest Check-UEFI.bat -Verbose which also looks good, I think. What say you @garlin ? Now I'll have to try to remember how to update my Macrium X Rescue boot USB. Then I'll have to wait for my wife to get off her desktop so I can do all of this on her machine.... groan :confused:

Basically if the SVN changes (for September, it jumps to 11.0) in both the DBX and EFI locations, then you're good.

@KevTech has some Macrium X tips posted in this thread. Use the search function (-> "This thread") to find the earlier posts.

I copied the new bootx64.efi and bootmgfw.efi files to the Macrium X and Windows Recovery boot USB drives and both booted just fine. :thumbsup:

    Unsupported hardware, upgraded from Windows 10 Pro (TPM 1.2 & unsupported CPU, but does have SSE4.2, and POPCNT) to Windows 11 Pro version 24H2 on 06/15/2025. Added Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup – AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU=1 to allow installation using the Windows 11 ISO file. Used the enablement package to upgrade to version 25H2 on 10/08/2025. Secure boot enabled. Secure Boot CA 2023 updated.
It makes you wonder how many Secure Boot bugs they fixed in the past month. Jumping from SVN 9.0 to 11.0 makes me think they got hit twice in a row.

This whole process is going to make it painful to restore backups. I guess the procedure would be to disable secure boot in BIOS before the restore, restore, boot and fix the boot manager from windows, then restore secure boot in BIOS. Correct?

Correct.

At some point, a lot of folks likely will just get tired of the rebuilding loop, and leave Secure Boot off...
