Regarding your post about secure boot certificates: the first two notebooks should automatically receive updates for secure boot certificates. However, if your third notebook was made in 2018, it might not automatically get these updates.
Here are some simple steps to manually update the secure boot certificates:
- Visit the HP support page that explains how to prepare for new Windows secure boot certificates. Here’s the link: HP Support – Prepare for new Windows Secure Boot certificates.
- Check if you can manually force the update of your secure boot certificates without needing a firmware update. Microsoft has a guide here: Microsoft – Force apply updated secure boot certificates.
You can also verify your secure boot status through Windows:
- Open Settings.
- Go to Privacy & Security.
- Click on Windows Security.
- Select Device Security.
- Check the Secure Boot Status.
Depending on what you see, you’ll want to follow these recommendations:
- If it says “Secure Boot is on and all required certificate updates have been applied,” then no further action is needed.
- If it shows “Secure Boot is on, but your device is using an older trust configuration,” just make sure your system has the latest Windows updates and restart if prompted.
- If you see a message indicating a known issue with automatic updates, don’t worry—Microsoft and its partners are working on a solution. The update will resume on its own once it’s sorted.
- If your device needs extra validation before updating, use this link for more info: aka.ms/getsecureboot.
- If your device can’t support automatic updates due to hardware limits, contact the manufacturer for help.
- If the certificate update has expired and your device can’t receive new updates anymore, follow the guidance on aka.ms/getsecureboot for next steps.
Following these tips should help keep your secure boot certificates up to date, ensuring your device stays protected.
