What you oughta know
As the saying goes, two is better than one.
That fault signal appeared last week on affected systems after Microsoft’smonthly security updaterolled out.
Dual-boot devices running Windows and Linux may not be able to boot after a mistake made by Microsoft.
You might find that older Linux distribution ISOs will not boot.
If this occurs, work with your Linux vendor to get an update.
The following error alert appears on affected systems:
“Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy Violation.
Something has gone seriously wrong: SBAT self-check failed: Security Policy Violation.”
Many took to the web to highlight the issue, including creating threads onRedditand inforums about UbuntuandLinux Mint.
Microsoft has not confirmed the cause of the issue.
Doing so requires disabling secure boot temporarily but then reenabling it after deleting the SBAT.
