Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration 

Important: Secure Boot certificates used by most Windows devices are set to expire starting in June 2026. This might affect the ability of certain personal and business devices to boot securely if not updated in time. To avoid disruption, we recommend reviewing the guidance and taking action to update certificates in advance.  

For details and preparation steps for Windows devices, see Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration and CA updates.

For details and preparation steps for Windows servers, see the following resources:

Support for Windows Server 2012 will end in October 2026
