Ventoy and Secure Boot

fixer · Aug 15, 2024

Wasted quite some time trying to get a Ventoy stick booting when all it needed was to turn off secure boot. Ventoy instructions don't appear to cover this but I was wondering whether there might be a way to leave secure boot on and make an exception for Ventoy?

Bit late here to try that atm but will tomorrow.

That fix simply doesn't work on this laptop but it's not a biggie - just have to turn off secure boot before trying to boot to Ventoy. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Thanks hdmi. As that article says -

However the solution is not perfect enough. If you get some error screen instead of the above blue screen (for example, Linpus lite xxxx).It means that the secure boot solution doesn't work with your machine, so you need to turn off the option, and disable secure boot in the BIOS.

That's where I'm at atm, but this is all pretty time consuming. However I would like to have another go when I can see I will be able to have an uninterrupted run at it.
