Microsoft Secure Boot CA 2011 End-of-Life: Transition to 2023 Certificates

Microsoft has announced that the Secure Boot CA (Certificate Authority) 2011 certificates will expire in June 2026. After these dates, Windows devices relying solely on these certificates will no longer receive security updates for the Windows Boot Manager and related Secure Boot components, potentially increasing vulnerability to boot-level threats (such as bootkits).

To address this, Microsoft is transitioning to new 2023 certificates. Supermicro already released BIOS firmware updates to prepare the Secure Boot database for the new certificates.

Here are BIOS versions for the Intel-based affected motherboards:

What You Should Do

  • Keep Secure Boot enabled – it remains effective and important for system security.
  • Install all available updates:
    • Install the latest BIOS/firmware updates.
  • No immediate action required for most systems – the transition is proactive and will complete automatically on supported devices.

This change does not prevent devices from booting after 2026, but staying updated ensures ongoing protection.
