Windows 10: Accidentally deleted secure boot keys and now computer can’t boot up

Hey guys, I messed up. I was trying to disable secure boot in BIOS and ended up deleting the manufacture secure boot keys. My computer now can’t boot up.

I have a Dell Inspiron 24 3464 that’s currently running Windows 10 if that information helps.

When I turn on my computer, the power button blinks orange and the computer beeps four times repeatedly. The monitor won’t even turn on.

If anyone has any idea how to fix this issue, it would be very much appreciated.

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?

 

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

• Oh and OSX

Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.

 

secure boot vioaltion - invalid signature detected

Hi,

For possible resolution regarding the error "'secure boot violation", see the steps below:

• Start the computer/PC, and enter the BIOS by pressing
  F2 or DEL key.
• Go to Advanced Mode by pressing F7. Find the
  BOOT tab at the top.
• Scroll down until you see the Secure Boot.
• Enter the setting and Key Management, and select Clear Secure Boot keys.
  
• Confirm that you will delete the keys. Escape out of the main window, and go to the
  EXIT tab.
• Look for the option to Save Configuration and Reset.

Let us know how it goes.
