Microsoft is keeping Secure Boot alive with Windows updates

Microsoft is automatically replacing boot-level security certificates on Windows devices before they start expiring later this year. The new Secure Boot certificates will be rolled out as part of the regular Windows platform updates, according to Microsoft's announcement blog, marking a "generational refresh" of the security standard.

Secure Boot was introduced in 2011 to protect systems from any unauthorized changes during the boot process, later becoming one of Windows 11's hardware requirements.
