Windows 8 secureboot

Hi all

PC:

HP Pavilion G6-2005AX

I installed the latest version of the bios for my laptop before installing windows 8.

Currently, my OS is windows 8.

In the bios settings, the secure boot option is disabled and greyed out (i.e., Unchangeable).

so, how can I activate the secure boot and quick start?

(Also where can I check in windows 8 to see what features?)

Thanks to you all.

Hello

Active quick start is located under the power--> your power plan Options.  This is the default value.

Choose what-> the power buttons > change settings that don't are currently not available-->> > then uncheck quick start.    Study the posted article.

If you have another OS as W7 installed on another physical drive, and then wait W8 to define the "dirty bit" for this drive. That will force a chkdsk scan when you start W7. Berk!

Disabling the legacy in bios mode can activate secure starting, but then you might encounter other issues.  CAVEAT!  He has not worked on my DV7t-7000 (no secure boot) at the first glance.

  • SecureBoot is not configured correctly (Windows Pro 8.1 with Media Center)

    I have a HP Pavilion H8 - 1360t purchased July 2012 with Windows 7.  The system has installed UEFI and AMI BIOS v7.09.  I have upgraded to Windows 8, first preview, then the final version.  Yesterday, I upgraded to 8.1.  I now have a watermark bottom right indicating «SecureBoot is not configured correctly...» "and I get activity 2002 of the VerifyHardwareSecurity ' SecureBoot is currently disabled.  Please enable SecureBoot by the system firmware.  I have checked the BIOS and can't find an option to activate SecureBoot.

    HP an article stated that a BIOS version of 8 support SecureBoot but there is no upgrade available for this relatively new machine BIOS.

    Another article warns against upgrading an HP computer preinstalled with Windows 7 to Windows 8 with the following statement:

    " UEFI technology allows a number of improvements in the PC security and performance and is being implemented in all PC pre-installed with Windows 8.". Some PC preinstalled with Windows 7contain UEFI technology and can be modified to provide these features. However the process requires skills and specialist to complete at this time, HP provides instructions to make this change. »

    So the question for HP is: what will be a BIOS level or another solution provided for this modern computer to fully activate the SecureBoot?  I've seen a lot of posts on the forums Microsoft Community of other owners of H8 - 1360T so it's not unique to me.  As a player for Microsoft important material, it is hoped that HP would be sensitive to their customers.  As a customer of long date HP (belonging to two previous HP pavilions - the system is 3rd in the House), I sincerely hope that I have not made a mistake in my material of choice provider.

    Please download and install the update to the BIOS of your system from the following link:

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp61501-62000/sp61511.exe

    This will restore all the functions BIOS necessary for Windows 8/8.1. After updating the BIOS, go into the BIOS and enable the SecureBoot option. This will stop the message secureboot on Windows 8.1.

    This also enables the BIOS UEFI environment.

  • 8.1 Windows "secureboot has not been configured correctly" watermark.

    Hello world! Last night, I've upgraded to windows 8.1. It works perfectly, but there is a watermark on the bottom right corner saying "SecureBoot has not been configured properly to build 9600 ' but as I said otherwise the computer works perfectly. What should I do about it? My computer is HP Pavilion laptop g7 thanks in advance

    A program like Belarc Advisor can be downloaded for free to scan your system and provide the key to the windows registry if necessary, but I don't think it helps in this case.  However, it will show if SecureBoot is enabled or disabled.

    I have a new G7 and updated for Windows 8.1 yesterday and received the same message.  Finally, I fixed the problem by going into settings of UEFI by performing an advanced start.  Once in the BIOS, it appeared that the SecureBoot keys have been corrupted by the update so I refreshed and activated.

    1. go in settings-> laptop-> update settings and Recovery-> Recovery-> Advanced Startup - choose "restart now."

    2. Once restarted, select UEFI firmware settings - then the computer should restart and allow you to select the BIOS updated

    3. in the BIOS, go to system-> Startup Options Configuration

    4. my G7 showed SecureBoot as being disabled.  On the same screen, I selected the option to recharge the HP keys then went back up and allowed SecureBoot (before updating the keys that I was unable to choose SecureBoot).  I selected the F key to save and exit and restart without watermark more.

    Most of this is from memory so I hope that you all can follow and see if it helps your questions as well.  Basically, you will need to get to the BIOS and verify that SecureBoot is on.

  • 8.1 Windows Home Premium SecureBoot is not configured properly

    I have a new laptop of envy, and I've just updated to 8.1. I get the familiar watermark on SecureBoot. I went into the BIOS, and I don't see the option security to change the option to activate SecureBoot. Is there a solution?

    In the BIOS, under System Configuration, under start options..., you will see the option SecureBoot who is currently disabled. Activate it solve the problem. See the screenshot below:

  • Failure of dual booting Ubuntu with Windows 8 on the Satellite P845t

    I tried in vain to dual boot Ubuntu 13.10 to a new Satellite from Toshiba with Windows 8.1. The laptop has UEFI. I used the two live DVD and live USB, and I tried with SecureBoot both active and disabled.

    Whenever I have the same failure. J
    UST before the next GRUB, the error message screen appears flashes briefly on the screen "error: variable 'root' is not defined". The GRUB screen appears. I tried Trying-out Installation and Installation and whenever once I have selected one of these options, then, the screen turns off and remains empty. When you use a DVD, the DVD still Purring for several seconds, before going to death.

    Out of curiosity I tried to install OpenSUSE 12.3 in the same way (with SecureBoot both enabled and disabled in turn, etc.) and stalls from installation to a similar point every time, which leads me to think that it is something to do with how UEFI is installed on the laptop.

    The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P845T about 3 months with the HARD drive replaced with a SSD.
    It came with pre-installed Windows 8, and I've upgraded to 8.1 Windows last week, shortly before trying to install Ubuntu.

    Curiously, the Windows desktop 8.1 has a watermark in the bottom right that says: "SecureBoot is not configured correctly", but that may not be not relevant for this query, such as Google search, that suggests that many people have this watermark even if SecureBoot is properly configured. And activating/deactivating the SecureBoot makes no difference for the message.

    Any help would be welcome, as I'd like to get this double-started with Ubuntu.

    Thank you!

  • Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

    Hello

    I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.

    I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

    Thanks for any help.

    The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

    Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

    Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

    It makes you, thank you.

  • Lenovo Z585 does not start on a DVD - jump directly to Windows

    Hello, I just got a new IdeaPad Z585 from newegg, and I can't figure out how to boot from a disk in the drawer of the DVD.

    I tried to open the BIOS and change the boot order, as well as simply go directly to the start menu. I tried with UEFI both active and disabled, as well as Secure Boot both enabled and disabled. No matter what I try, it does not start in any DVD.

    I try to install Linux and tried different discs and distributions of this. When no even reached GRUB, I tried a Windows 7 installation disc, and even that is ignored.

    What should I do?

    Hello
    The secureboot and uefi must be handicapped simaltaneously. You can try if you haven't.
    Also, could you try pressing the novo button to power your laptop. The novo button is the button of reocovery key a small next to the power button. Has then access Startup menu see if it helps.

  • Windows 8.1 secure pro Boot is not configured properly

    After the upgrade through shop windows to Windows Pro 8.1, I get the watermark:

    «windows 8.1 secureBoot pro is not configured properly to build 9600»

    I went into the BIOS, tried allowing the secure startup, disabling, restore the factory keys, but nothing has solved the problem.

    The command (windows powershell administrator) Confirm-SecureBootUEFI returns false.

    Any ideas?

    Best regards

    Z.

    I explain how I solved the problem in my Ideapad y510p.

    1 - Press the windows key and the search for "start".

    2 - Click on "change advanced startup options."

    3. in the title of "Advanced boot", click "restart now."

    4 - click "troubleshooting."

    5 - Click on 'Advanced Options '.

    6 - click on "parameters of UEFI firmware.

    At this point, you should see the configuration of the bios/uefi page:

    7 - go to 'security' and then 'reset to installation mode.

    8. then, go to 'leave', then 'exit saving changes.

    Once back in windows, repeat the steps 1 to 6, then in the bios screen:

    -return to 'security' and this time select "restore the keys to the factory.

    -Then go to 'leave', then 'exit saving changes.

    At the next reboot, the problem should be solved, or at least it worked for me. I exclude not only performing the second part of the operation as described is sufficient to solve the problem.

  • Brand new Aspire XC - 603G (ACX - 603 G-UW31). Windows 7 will not install in Legacy Mode

    Hello

    I am trying to configure a newly purchased office of Acer (Aspire ACX - 603 G-UW31), who has installed Windows 8.1, for my mother who cannot grasp the steep learning curve of Windows 7 to Windows 8.

    I have a licensed copy of Windows 7 x 64 on DVD, and even after the SecureBoot mode off then launch MSC forever and then starting with F12, by selecting the DVD drive as a boot device, Windows will not install correctly.

    The very first steps of the configuration are very well, it is, I'm asking the press actually starts to any key to boot from the DVD, Windows Setup loads some files, but the problem comes when the installation of Windows. I get a STOP error to the ASF with the message "The BIOS in this system is not fully complaint ACPI." There is no BIOS update for this model. That's the traditional way...

    Any ideas?
