Secure boot alerts in Windows 11 and Windows Security help users stay informed about the status of Secure Boot certificates, which began expiring in June 2026.

Discussions on WindowsForum cover how these changes appear in Insider builds and the Windows Security app, emphasizing their role in maintaining system integrity and avoiding unexpected boot failures. The alerts are part of Microsoft's broader effort to make Secure Boot certificate management more transparent and proactive for everyday users.
