Key notes

This is a serious safety concern for all the users that have MSI motherboards.
A Polish security expert found out that the Windows 11 Secure Boot is broken.
We've published the list of all affected products so make sure you look it up.

You surely know about the infamous Windows 11 system requirements by now, so there’s no need to even talk too much about them.

However, there’s a concerning matter that you surely didn’t know about, so the time has come for the world to know this.

In short, if your rig runs on an MSI motherboard, you should know that the Secure Boot feature for Windows 11 doesn’t even work.

MSI motherboards have broken Windows 11 Secure Boot

To recap, one of the major security features Microsoft made mandatory as a system requirement for Windows 11 was Secure Boot.

In theory, the idea behind Secure Boot is to prevent malicious software from loading when a system boots.

To give you a better understanding, this is done by verification of signed drivers and authenticating Windows boot files.

However, with MS, it looks like Secure Boot settings inside its motherboards have been set wrong for over a year if you can believe that.

Recently, Polish security researcher Dawid Potocki has surprisingly discovered the issue on an MSI Pro Z790-A WiFi.

All options under the Image Execution Policy inside Secure Boot settings are set to Always Execute which meant the motherboard would accept every OS image whether trusted or not.

The researcher also found that the roots of the issue can be dated back to sometime around Q3 2021, which means that MSI motherboards have been vulnerable to exploitation for over a year.

There’s also a list of affected devices and we are going to share it with you, so you can look up your specs and see if you have the same problem.
