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.
Verifying shim SBAT data failed:

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

2024-09-02T16:49:52+00:00 Hi Dave. Yes, I'm dual-booted with Ubuntu and Windows 10. I'm trying your suggestion now...
I'm back. The CMD line did not work for me.
To get my HP Elitebook to work with Win10 I had to hit the ESC key to enter the Startup Menu, then Boot Menu, then UEFI Windows Boot Manager & I'm in Windows.
I'm using Linux Mint. I'm guessing it's the latest version because I always check for updates.
Any additional help for the SBAT problem?
Thank you.
David
