Running MR v10.0.8843 and have the boot menu installed. When I tried to boot from it today, it gave me an error screen about the file winload.efi claiming that the digital signature of that file can't be verified, error 0xc0000428.

I removed the boot entry using MR and rebiult it -- but it still fails.

I thought I saw a thread some time back about special steps you have to take now to build the boot menu, but I can't find that thread.

I also rebuilt the USB boot stick but it has the same issues.

NOTE: I have another version of Win11 on this same PC, and it is using MR v10.0.8750 -- and it boots into the MR boot option just fine! So, maybe the solution is to reinstall MR 8750 on this version.

Enforcement of a SkuSiPolicy file (deployed on the EFI partition) can lead to winload.efi signature errors. The SkuSiPolicy dictates which versions of the winload.efi are allowed for booting purposes. Some versions are explicitly banned for security reasons.

You have three options:

1. Find a different source for the WinRE or WinPE WIM, which has a compliant version of winload.efi. The winload.efi file version can change between different versions of the source WIM. A later version of the WIM might work. This is a Macrium issue.

2. Disable SkuSiPolicy enforcement.
- Disable Secure Boot mode, and restart Windows.​
- Run the commands:​
Code: 
mountvol S: /s
del S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\SkuSiPolicy.p7b
mountvol S: /d
- Shutdown Windows. Re-enable Secure Boot and reboot.​

3. Temporarily disable Secure Boot, when booting from this device if you can't find a newer WIM or don't want to disable SkuSiPolicy protections.

We've all been there. ^^

Macrium should automatically download a new Win 11 PE ADK anytime we rebuild.
Maybe they'll have that in Reflect XI :D


Currently, MR saves the last Win 11 PE ADK we used, in the MR folder and just reuses it if we rebuild.
Most of the time this is fine. But then... Along came MS and messed around with Secure Boot.

Fortunately, MS also updated their Win 11 PE ADK. Unfortunately, MR doesn't auto-download it.
