Microsoft Secure Score Adds Recommendation to Check Secure Boot 2023 Updates

Secure Boot is an important security feature that makes sure only trusted software runs when a device starts. Over time, its certificates need updates. Microsoft has warned that older certificates will expire in June 2026, and devices that don’t update may lose boot-level security protection and become more vulnerable to threats.
