Trying to boot from a usb stick In win 10 I get the message "Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy ViolationSomething has gone seriously wrong: SBAT self-check failed: Security Policy Violation" Can someone help me resolve it? Is this from the latest windows update?

This seems to have started right after a win update but I'm not sure if it's a coincident or not. Thanks for any help

    Hi Valeria,

    I have the same issue. My pc doesn't even start. It comes on screen the sentences:

    -Sbat check errors

    • and Sbat self-check error security policy violation

    Have you resolved the problem? If yes, could U say to me how?

    My laptop won’t let me change secure boot.

    The error message appeared when I tried to boot from a (Ubuntu) USB stick.

    I can boot into Windows 11 with no problems.

    If you have access to the recovery system, try to go in the BIOS/UEFI settings and disable Secure Boot, it'll normally bypass the verification so the problem don't hold anymore (but it's unsecure).
    If that don't work but you've access to Windows, then you can uninstall the update and wait for the next that will hopefully fix the issue.
    If you can't access to Windows, then try to make a bootable usb key to avoid the verifications.

    Hi Thanks for the reply. I faced the same problem as I use dual boot on my HP Envy laptop.

    My system wouldn't boot at all, throwing this error and shutdown.

    I had to go to BIOS boot options and disable Secure Boot. This allowed me to get boot menu.

    Windows boot has been successful. What does this registry key imply? Thanks.
