IMPORTANT: Secure Boot certificates used by most Windows devices are started to expire on June 2026. This might affect the ability of certain personal and business devices to boot securely if not updated in time. To avoid disruption, we recommend reviewing the guidance and taking action to update certificates in advance. Learn more by visiting the Secure Boot playbook.
