   Windows Secure Boot is EXPIRING: Do This Before June 2026!   
   Windows Secure Boot certificates are reaching their "End of Life"   
   starting June 2026. If you haven't updated your UEFI CA certificates,   
   your PC's boot-level security is about to expire and you may have   
   serious problems booting up your machine.   
      
   This only applies to UEFI boot. On Windows 10 this was not necessary but   
   for Windows 11 this is now mandatory. Whether Microsoft updates this   
   before they expire remains to be seen but you can manually upgrade it by   
   using these PowerShell/Terminal commands as Administrator:   
      
   Check if it needs updating:   
      
   [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes)   
   -match 'Windows UEFI CA 2023'   
      
   If it shows false then you need to change the registry:   
      
   reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Secureboot   
   /v AvailableUpdates /t REG_DWORD /d 0x5944 /f   
      
   Then run this in Terminal/PowerShell:   
      
   Start-ScheduledTask -TaskName "\Microsoft\Windows\PI\Secure-Boot-Update"
