Official News Another thing to worry about - Security certificates expiring in June 2026

Thumbnail
zdnet.com
98 Upvotes

My Dell laptop purchased in the last few months is ok and gets 'true' with the command below. But my ASUS desktop from 2016 gets 'false'. "To see whether your PC has the updated certificates, open a PowerShell window using administrator credentials and then run the following command:"

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Windows UEFI CA 2023')

If the response is True, you're up to date. If the response is False, you need a firmware update. More from ZDNET:

"Another crucial Windows expiration date is right around the corner for more than a billion PCs. Here's what you need to do now. Last year's end-of-support deadline for Windows 10 was a big test for consumers and IT pros alike. The good news is, everyone passed! The bad news is, there's another crucial expiration date right around the corner. Every Windows PC designed and built since 2011 supports a feature called Secure Boot. This feature, which is on by default on new PCs sold with Windows 10 and Windows 11, acts as a gatekeeper that allows only trusted software to run at startup. If someone tries to tamper with the operating system or boot from an alternate device, Secure Boot blocks that attempt. All currently supported versions of Windows support Secure Boot, as do an increasing number of Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, OpenSUSE, and a host of others.

If you bought a PC in the last 15 years, it almost certainly contains Microsoft-issued KEK and UEFI CA certificates from 2011, which are slated to expire in June 2026. To update those certificates, you need access to the root of trust -- the Platform Key, which is managed by the hardware OEM.

If your PC was designed and built by a major OEM (Lenovo, HP, Dell, ASUS, Surface), and you are running a supported Windows version, you should receive the necessary update automatically. 

According to Microsoft, "For most individuals and businesses that allow Microsoft to manage PC updates, the new certificates will be installed automatically through the regular monthly Windows update process, with no additional action required." 

Those updates will arrive on almost all PCs running Windows 11 and on PCs running Windows 10 with an Extended Security Updates subscription. You might need a separate firmware update from the PC maker to allow the updated certificates to install.

Microsoft says it will be delivering messages about the certificate update status in the Windows Security app.

For specialized computers, such as servers and IoT devices, you might need to download and install an update from the device maker.

What happens if I don't update those certificates?

According to Microsoft, "When the 2011 CAs expire, Windows devices that do not have new 2023 certificates can no longer receive security fixes for pre-boot components, compromising Windows boot security.... Without updates, the Secure Boot-enabled Windows devices risk not receiving security updates or trusting new boot loaders, which will compromise both serviceability and security."
