W510 is why Secure Boot

Microsoft has created a new agreement called "Secure Boot" which is designed to prevent malware from installing rootkits allowing to boot from devices that have the appropriate certificates. That said, Microsoft specifications require that the user may disable the function if not an upgrade or dual-boot would be impossible.

This seems to be preventing me from booting off a CD, even if it is enabled in the BIOS.

When I go into the configuration of the BIOS on the W510, I see that Secure Boot is enabled, but there is no way I can see to turn it off. What Miss me it please? Dual-boot capability is essential for a safety Cabinet that I'm working on.

Since the MSDN site "for enthusiasts who want to turn older operating systems, the option is there to allow you to make a decision." My question is "how?"

If the w510 is unable to support disabling Secure Boot, then we have a serious problem.

(for some reason I can't add a link - quote MSDN Web site is at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/22/protecting-the-pre-os-environment-with-uefi.aspx )

Hi Padgett,

Set the BIOS supervisor password, you will be able to disable Secure Boot.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 532 s: 'Secure Boot Configuration' not found?

    Hello support, I wanted to disable startup secure for my office.
    I have a pavilion Elite HPE - 532 s Bios 7.15 I followed the step of many posts, but I don't have it under the heading "security"?
    I am on window 10 64-bit UEFI.
    I wanted to disable, because I have a new GTX 960 graphics card and it stuck on the HP logo at startup all the time when I use the new card. !!

    I tried to disable the security slot, but no matter what I do I get a black screen for my card both old and new so I have to reset the bios settings.
    Help me please.

    Thanks for the additional information.

    Here is my diagnosis/notice:

    I don't think you'll be able to get the GTX 960 to work with this system.

    Why it won't work in the UEFI/GPT:

    It will not work in the UEFI [I think] 960 GTX is one card of UEFI and you must disable secure boot to make it work. Your BIOS is only "UEFI compatible" originally planned for Windows 7 [which does not support secure boot]. If you are unable to disable the secure startup, you can not use this card.

    Why it won't work in legacy/MBR:

    It won't work in legacy because it's a single card of UEFI.

    My suggestion:

    Return to the legacy/MBR and use a graphics card that has a dual BIOS BIOS/hybrid or one who supports in particular the Legacy BIOS as described in one of my previous posts.

    Some other things to consider:

    You PSU has enough power for this card? I think it takes a minimum of 400W PSU.

    You connect the auxiliary power connector?

    Have you tried to disable "Intergrated Graphics" in the BIOS [as appropriate]

  • no option in the bios to secure boot

    Hi, I recently installed 8 64-bit windows and entrust the with my win 7 32 bit and my 14,04 64 bit ubuntu, but now I can not connect to win 7 or ubuntu. I looked online and it says disable secure boot, but my bios doesn't have this option (the motherboard is a ga-f2a85x-d3h, gigabyte), so I don't know how to turn it off so I can boot into those. is there a way to win 8 to turn it off, or do I just uninstall win 8? (need to access both win 7 and ubuntu, and was only to install win 8 because I couldn't upgrade win 7 32-bit to 64-bit with the same key (the installation disc wouldn't let me for some reason any).)

    I tried now shift that I restart, and when he brings up a menu, it is not an option in there for the uefi framework parameters (as shown in the picture on this website: http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-8-64-bit-system-uefi-supported).

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    I suggest contact you the Ubuntu support Forum as the partition where Ubuntu is installed are not recognized in the BIOS and that's why you get an error 'boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.

  • How to mount SD card in secure boot mode

    I have a problem with my Imac where I can start only in secure boot mode. The problem is that in safe safe mode SD card not only mount. I need the contents of the SD card. How can I manually force the SD card to get?

    There are some things that don't work in Mode without failure.

    See note in the article here, try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple support.

    More specifically,.

    For example, these features do not work in safe mode:

    • You can not play movies in the DVD player.
    • You cannot capture video in iMovie and some other video applications.
    • An input audio or output devices may not work.
    • Some devices USB, FireWire, and Thunderbolt is not available.
    • Wi - Fi networks may be limited or unavailable depending on the Mac and OS X versions you are using.

    If your Mac starts in Mode safe, but not normally, it is probably because you have installed a third-party software that prevents the normal start upward. If you remove this software when you're booted without failure, you should be able to start normally. Some common software that will always give you problems: everything that is supposed to clean, optimize, protect, purge, control or maintain if your Mac.

  • MacBook (running 10.6.8) works only in the secure boot? What's wrong?

    I woke up my MacBook to mode 'sleep' when I suddenly had a kernel panic.

    After stopping and restarting my regular boot of the computer, the MacBook will run after the gray apple screen.

    but after that, it hangs on a gray white screen and refuses to go to the login window.

    However, on a secure boot, the MacBook starts as it normally should.

    I managed to restore my MacBook 10.6.3 and after that, he started on a regular boot,

    but after using the built-in software update upgrade to Mac 10.6.8 the same problem comes back.

    My Macbook will start only at startup, once again.

    I tried:
    -MSC reset

    -Reset the PRAM

    -Try to use disk utility, but the button "Repair disk" grayed out.

    Is there a solution to this problem?

    When you tried to use the disk utility to repair the disk, you start from the DVD, or did you get this to run in OS X?

  • How to unload RAM after a secure boot?

    I have from time to time perform a safe boot when problems.

    For secure boot, all processes seem to be loaded to RAM, the RAM usage is much higher than normal. When I restart again (not in safe mode), the use of the RAM remains the same that when in safe mode! I expect to get back to normal, but this isn't the case. The only way I have found to reset the RAM usage is to reinstall OS X.  I'm a noob with OS X so please excuse me if this is a stupid question!

    Is it possible to unload the RAM after a secure boot?

    Yes, restart (or turn it off and then on again)

  • QosmioX70-B - working Secure Boot correctly?

    On my Toshiba QosmioX70 - B Secure Boot is enabled in the UEFI /-BIOS (F2) Setup. Windows 10 Pro, installed on HD, still boots very well.

    When I first started OpenSuse KDE Live 13.2 DVD for the first time on this laptop asked me a question that I remember exactly. It must have been something like: if I bypass Secure Boot or not. I decided to go around.

    Now is triggered every time I boot from the live DVD mentioned above, no question, and the boot process goes all right.

    On an another computer (Dell desktop) I never asked such a question and whenever I want to boot from the live DVD, I first have to disable Secure Boot in its UEFI /-BIOS (F2) Setup.

    What happened to my Toshiba laptop? I doubt if Secure Boot is still effective. How can I turn it on once more? Let's not forget that the UEFI /-BIOS (F2) Setup still shows as active Secure Boot. I prefer to explicitly turn it off every time I want to boot from the live DVD instead of having this doubt (like on the Dell system).

    It is still in effect, but it seems that Linux has added its own startup key secure BIOS, or replace the Microsoft key.

  • Satellite C50 - secure boot not configured correctly build 9600

    Hello

    Recently bought a refurbished nine Toshiba Satellite C50 8.1 of windows operating system. Was very happy with it but found the message 'not properly configured SecureBoot 9600 building "watermark in the lower right corner of my office. '.

    Decided to search the Internet for a resolution and after being gone on 3 Troubleshooting sites, discovered on the necessary BIOS configuration, but he warned that it was for experienced users who know their stuff on the technical aspects of computers. While I am computer literate, I'm not someone who likes to mess with the advanced options. Then, I came across a reliable computer blog that had a detailed post on SecureBoot.

    (Link to the blog post and specfic):
    www.techrepublic.com/blog/Windows-and-Office/deal-with-the-secureboot-isn't-configured-correctly-watermark-in-windows-81/)

    I thought that that would solve my problem, and I have to admit that he helped, telling me to use windows powershell as a precaution before using the BIOS Setup. I was glad I did as it came in saying that I have a policy of SecureBoot of the present failure on my laptop which case I have to request technical support for a specific system solution that would generally be an update of the firmware.

    I tried to call, but the line was busy and estimated it might be easier to post this question on a forum.

    If anyone has an answer please help as I would like to really activate SecureBoot if possible, I believe that computers must be set up with the best possible security options and makes me feel comfortable in knowing that it is implemented safely.

    Someone commented on the blog and posted this solution:

    The fix for the registry to remove the watermark is as follows.
    1. start the registry with the Admin (C:\Windows\regedit) rights Editor
    2. navigate to the following location
    -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------policies------system.
    3. here, the two values "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin ' and 'EnableLUA 'the value' 0'.

    You can also try to activate the boot option secure in the BIOS (in which case it is not already selected)
    To enter the BIOS, press F2 during the turn on/off the device.

    Also recommend that you check this page from Microsoft:

    > 1. How to create a DVD repair or start for windows 8.1 pro with UEFI Bios and boot secured.
    To be able to boot from sources other than the drive HARD internal, the boot mode must be set to the CSM and secure boot must be disabled!

    > 2. I created a USB recovery using the control panel in Windows Pro 8.1. It starts OK. It will be the same as that I've created using the Toshiba Media recovery creator or will it drivers Windows Pro 8.1?

    Your laptop has been preloaded with Win 8. Right? For example, the USB flash stick memory you just use the Toshiba Recovery media creator contains the Image of Toshiba with Windows 8. Don t mix this Toshiba image with the image that can be created using Microsoft's own backup and restore function. Both are different pictures!

    The last partition contains the files on HARD drive recovery. Usually this partition will be created again when you use the Toshiba Recovery disk to put the laptop back to factory settings. So in the case where you n t need this files or the partition, you can delete

  • Qosmio X 870 and Windows update 8.1 - secure-Boot is not configured correctly

    After update of windows 8 for windows 8.1 a watermark appeared in the dekstop who says:
    + Windows 8.1 secure Boot is not configured correctly build 9600. +

    Is something wrong with the installation of the update?

    Thank you much in advance.

    I have a Qosmio x-870.

    If you see a message "Secure startup is not configured properly" in the lower right corner of the office, this means that Secure Boot is off or has not been configured correctly on the PC.

    Secure boot can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS.
    You need to access the BIOS and should allow secure boot.
    Save the changes and restart the device.

  • HP Pavilion p7 - 1267c p: Desktop Computer has no option to dissable the Secure Boot

    I tried and tried and tried and tried, but I found no option to dissable start secure on my computer. The only option I found is in my BIOS, that is to dissable the sources of the boot. Which does nothing, because the computer still does not start with the installed graphics card. The BIOS seems to be obsolete, with a version of 2011 compared to version 2012, I saw in the step-by-step procedures, but there is no update for the BIOS avalible. I have also entered the advanced developed boot Windows 8.1 and found nothing related to UEFI. I am frustrated beyond belief and would apreciate any help out there.

    Ryan, welcome to the forum.

    According to the specifications of the computer, it came with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.  This means that it didn't Secure Boot or UEFI.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  Your computer was released in December 2011.  Install simply earn 8.1 does not change the BIOS.

    There is a BIOS update for the motherboard, but it's for Win 7.  This means that you will need to perform a system recovery to take the computer to its original with Win 7 Setup to install it.  However, it is not correct the problem you are experiencing.

    If you try to install a 700 series card, they need UEFI.

  • Impossible to activate Secure boot of windows 8

    Hi, I can't get a secure start to activate on my computer, the option is grayed out in the bios

    Hi Jcwisgod,

    That's right, that a secure boot does not load the usb drivers, then connect a usb keyboard, when using secure boot will not work.   I don't know if you can activate the loading of traditional USB drivers and still have secure startup, you should test.

    If you can enable loading the usb and secure boot drivers would let me know for future reference.
