#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : "Secure Boot isn't configured correctly" or Secure Boot Violation Fix : Get the machine booting, then restore Secure Boot properly Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-sec-secure-boot Run as : Firmware settings and WinRE Expect : 45 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX It will not boot at all. Two stages: get in, then put the protection back. HOW TO UNDO IT mbr2gpt does not remove data, but take an image first. Secure Boot can be disabled again from the firmware. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
