Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration

Important

Secure Boot certificates used by most Windows devices started to expire on June 2026. Microsoft has been updating these certificates on PCs and non-managed business devices for the past months. Devices that haven't received the newer certificates will continue to start, and standard Windows updates will continue to install. We will continue to install the newer certificates via Windows updates in the coming months.

End of updates

Windows 11, version 24H2 Home and Pro editions will reach end of updates on October 13, 2026. Devices running these editions will no longer receive fixes for known issues, time zone updates, technical support, or monthly security and preview updates containing protections from the latest security threats. Enterprise and Education editions remain supported until October 12, 2027.

To stay protected and up to date, we recommend you upgrade to the latest version of Windows 11.

  • Manually copy the boot.stl file from the device Windows\Boot\EFI folder to the corresponding folder on your installation media before deploying the update.
For information about how to apply Dynamic Update packages to existing Windows images, see Update Windows installation media with Dynamic Update.

After completing the 9445 update, I installed the 26H2 enablement package. The build was bumped from 200 to 300.
I did the same and I am on 26300.9445 26H2. Since I got only the taskbar new options I forced enabled the other ones for start and search with vivetool. The new smaller start menu is better for me. DISM and SFC went fine and no issues so far.

I noticed that in Windows Features, I have SMB turned OFF.

Well, it wasn't that.


I also have all Shares, Sharing of any type turned OFF.
I'm thinking File History may have something to do with Sharing...

I re-enabled Administrative Shares, with SMB turned OFF again.
That didn't work.

But when I click "Turn on" in File History, I get a spinning circle, but it still won't come ON.
Maybe it wants SMB and Admin shares on?

I'll try later.. I have a few errands to run.






Well, with Admin Shares and SMB enabled... it still won't turn ON



Here's what Google AI says is required...


.
You need a connected external storage drive or a configured network location to use File History in Windows. [1]

Storage Requirements
    • External Drive: A separate USB flash drive or external hard drive plugged into your computer. [1, 2]
    • Network Location: A shared folder on a network or home server that is accessible and configured. [1, 2]
    • Drive Format: The target drive must use an NTFS file system and cannot be the same physical drive where your Windows operating system or source libraries are installed. [1]
    • Capacity Considerations: Opinions on Microsoft Q&A are mixed regarding disk size, but users often note that having a backup drive larger than or equal to your source data helps prevent "disk full" errors during initial snapshots. [1]

System Requirements
    • Supported OS: A compatible Windows version (such as Windows 10 or Windows 11).
    • User Folders: File History targets default user libraries like Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, and Desktop. [1, 2, 3, 4]
For official steps to configure your storage, see Microsoft Support or read the NinjaOne Blog Guide. [1, 2]



I attached a 256GB USB stick but I had already disabled Admin Shares and SMB.
It still didn't turn ON, but it did create a File History folder on the USB stick.

So... I quit. I don't want File History anyway. :-)

I'm no expert on anything but I've been wondering. I've seen a couple posts else-ware that's its a timing issue. I been thinking , do those that have this issue have fast-boot enabled ? I don't, and never seen this problem.
Nope fast boot is off on all of my PCs...
BTW I get this warning on PCs with 23H2 and 25H2 so it must have come in an update to the virus updates....
