Will the third Microsoft patch of secure boot in 2024 render
Linux (and Puppy) unbootable on newer patched PCs ?
From arstechnica.com:
... the new fix, partly because, unlike many high-priority Windows fixes,
the update will be disabled by default for at least a few months
after it's installed and partly because it will eventually render
current Windows boot media unbootable.
The fix requires changes to the Windows boot manager that can't be
reversed once they've been enabled.
Additionally, once the fixes have been enabled, your PC will no longer
be able to boot from older bootable media that doesn't include the fixes.
...
A third update in "first quarter 2024" will enable the fix by default
and render older boot media unbootable on all patched Windows PCs.
Microsoft says it is "looking for opportunities to accelerate this
schedule," though it's unclear what that would entail.
