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

    Dave, the registry change works only if you make it BEFORE applying the august update, for example before restarting after update. After that SBAT is already changed. I suppose it is a change in the UEFI itself, because I cannot boot a Ventoy flash drive even if the hard disk is cleaned and deinitialized (diskpart, clean all)

    There are some workarounds in the link.

    I did add this registry that someone mentioned, but it didn't work for me so I uninstalled updates. Still no progress. Even worse because now after uninstalled update I had critical failure of Start Menu. After I reinstalled those updates I went ahead to turn off secure boot in bios. It did work but is not a solution for me. On my Dell latitude when you update windows it often updates bios as well. I think that somehow this update managed to screw up my bios. I will be reinstalling grub probably and might give some update on it.

    Hi, Steve

    Enter BIOS/UEFI, set a password for the supervisor, this should enable the option to disable secure boot.

    Felipe, I tried Dave's suggestions but I just went and took the security off in the bios. This works for me.
