Hey there! I set up a USB with Linux and it’s running smoothly on my main PC. On my laptop, though, it just displays a security warning about access being denied. After re-flashing, it still doesn’t appear in boot options or the F12 menu—only the Windows drive shows up. I’ve tried disabling fast boot multiple times, but it still won’t show. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get it working on your laptop? Thanks!

Hi @MeinGottWalther, try to turn off secure boot and UEFI startup. It might ruin Linux booting. Make sure to revert legacy boot to UEFI when you need Windows, or else it won’t work. These options are available in the BIOS settings.

AHCI and UEFI are activated, but secure boot remains disabled and hidden in the BIOS settings.

What kind of device are you using? Please share details such as brand, model, and specifications. You should be able to adjust settings if needed. Secure boot likely affects your system, restricting bootable software to digitally signed files. Microsoft is among the rare companies that can sign or refuse to sign software. This raises concerns about monopolistic practices—some people see it that way, and I share that perspective.

The secure boot feature is hidden in the second image, but you can still notice it in the photo. I also placed the bootable device at the first position.

I checked the web for instructions on disabling secure boot. You should first set a BIOS password. If that fails, try searching for "insydeh20 disable secure boot". Turn off your laptop completely, then power it back on. As soon as the initial logo shows, press F2 to enter the BIOS. Use arrow keys to navigate: Security tab, Set Supervisor Password, Enter. Enter a password and press Enter. Remember it! Type it again, then press Enter. Go to the Boot tab, select Secure Boot, choose Disabled, and press Enter. Confirm with F10 to save and exit.

I did that and it functioned properly. I'm now in the setup phase, and I can maintain my default boot sequence. When launching from USB, I just press F12 at startup and choose the USB drive instead of the Windows drive.
