#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : "Secure Boot isn't configured correctly" or Secure Boot Violation Fix : Clear the desktop watermark state Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-sec-secure-boot Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 20 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Windows boots normally but the desktop carries the message. HOW TO UNDO IT bcdedit /set testsigning on re-enables it if a development driver genuinely requires it. 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.
