  "textContent": "Starting in June 2026, the Windows 2011 Secure Boot certificates will expire. To maintain protection against new boot-level threats, devices need to be updated to new certificates issued in 2023.\n\n## How this will affect your organization\n\nIf the Secure Boot certificates expire without being updated, the device will still start and run normally and continue receiving standard Windows updates, but any new security protections for the early boot process cannot be applied once the certificates expire.\n\nYou can use Intune to deploy on managed Windows clients, opt out of high-confidence buckets, and opt-in to Microsoft managing these updates by enabling the following settings in the Intune settings catalog:\n\n  * Configure Microsoft Update Managed Opt In\n  * Configure High Confidence Opt Out\n  * Enable Secureboot Certificate Updates\n\n\n\n## What you need to do to prepare\n\nTo manage Secure Boot certificate updates, enable the Secure Boot settings in your existing device configuration profile or create a new profile by following these steps:\n\n  1. In the Intune admin center **Devices** > under Manage devices, select **Configuration**.\n  2. Select **Create** and select **New Policy**.\n  3. For **Platform** select “Windows 10 and later” and “Settings Catalog” for the profile type.\n  4. Under **Configuration settings** , select **Add settings**. In the settings picker, search for Secure Boot.\n  5. Select the desired settings for your organization: Configure Microsoft Update Managed Opt In, Configure High Confidence Opt Out, and Enable Secureboot Certificate Updates.\n  6. Finish the profile for the devices that will use these settings.\n\n\n\nFor more detailed steps, review: Microsoft Intune method of Secure Boot for Windows devices with IT-managed updates\n\n## Additional information\n\n  * Windows Message center: How to use Microsoft Intune to update expiring Secure Boot certificates\n  * Secure Boot playbook for certificates expiring in 2026 | Windows IT Pro Blog\n  * Frequently asked questions about the Secure Boot update process | Microsoft Support\n  * Secure Boot Certificate updates: Guidance for IT professionals and organizations | Microsoft Support\n  * When Secure Boot certificates expire on Windows devices | Microsoft Support\n  * Monitoring Secure Boot certificate status with Microsoft Intune remediations | Microsoft Support\n  * Secure Boot status report in Windows Autopatch | Microsoft Learn\n\n",
