Hello, I have been trying to set up a multi boot with Windows 10, 11, and Manjaro witch normally I can do without secure boot. In that case I have been trying different means including multiple fresh installs trying to get Manjaro to boot with “Windows UEFI mode” nicely without the security integri…

Manjaro doesn’t boot with Secure Boot enabled. You need to follow instructions from linked thread above in order to be able to. I wouldn’t bother to enable Secure Boot at all, but if you want to try new things go ahead.

I really didn’t want to work with secure boot either, but with Windows 11, and now games (that only work on windows) that use a kernel anti-cheat they require secure boot in order for the game to be playable. That the issue. Otherwise I’m fine without it.

Enable Secure Boot on demand when you need to boot to Windows 11. Problem solved.

That’s what I do too, it’s slightly annoying but I don’t switch to Windows everyday, so no big deal.

[image] soundofthunder: Then again, most assume Secure Boot to be a M$ technology; implementations are often influenced accordingly; so it isn’t entirely unexpected. :man_shrugging: In a way, it is a Microsoft thing. Microsoft is on the UEFI Committee, and on the TPM Committee. Even the who…

M$… one of the original influencers… Often armed with corporate thuggery; or baseball bats…
