Meh. I have a dual boot sytem. Linux Mint 17 or Linux Mint 21. Tossed Winders 10 years ago.
“DOS isn’t done until Lotus won’t run.”
Old saying from early PC days, 40ish years ago.
Anything that is labelled “advanced targeting” is not an accident. Yeah, targeting from MS. It offensive not defensive security. This was intentional and violates antitrust.
They think folks are stupid. And that arrogance and deceptive practice is why I told them to take a hike years ago.
I am so glad I still have W7
I have dual boot but windows is not allowed to connect to the web, therefor, not allowed to get updates. It’s a fresh win 7 pro install that is several years old.
Won’t break my dual boot- windows 7 which i use only in offline mode for windows only programs and games.
This is like a car manufacturer disabling your car because you took it to an independent shop instead of their dealer shop.
How many people would actually put up with that arrogant concept and practice? Apparently a LOT. Because they just keep doing it.

At this point in my life there are only a handful of use cases for me to run Windows directly on hardware. I don’t play games but that would be one of them. As the author pointed out, Secure Boot is a mess from the ground up and it’s only on locked-down corporate windows workstations where it makes sense. Most hobbyists, developers, and dev-ops folks who using linux on a day-to-day basis aren’t dual-booting and likely have disabled secure boot already.
I recently replaced my laptop and immediately replaced the hard drive with a larger model and installed Linux. The first thing I disabled in the BIOS was the Secure Boot functionality.
My 2 laptops are duel boot Manjaro Linux and Windows 11 but my desktop has a hard drive hot swap bay and and an OS on each hard drive that I swap out as I need them ,LOL
Windows ain’t done till Linux don’t run?
DUAL boot? Windows loads just fine as a VM under Linux /s
Part of the problem is the stupidity of anyone running any M$ system allowing auto-updates. Turn that off.
Want to imbibe MS updates? Let them stew for a couple of weeks to see if the stupid people out there have been crippled. If all goes well, allow the updates that are more than 2 weeks old.
Is this true with all versions of Windows or just Windows 11?
