If you see the error “Verification failed: (0x1A) Security Violation” during boot, disabling secure boot in your computer’s BIOS settings may help to resolve the issue. Here’s how you can disable secure boot:
- Restart your computer and enter the BIOS settings. The key to access the BIOS settings may vary depending on your computer manufacturer, but it’s usually F2, F10, or Del.
- Navigate to the “Security” or “Boot” tab in the BIOS settings.
- Look for an option called “Secure Boot” or “UEFI Boot.” Change the setting from “Enabled” to “Disabled.”
- Save the changes and exit the BIOS settings.
- Restart your computer and check if the error message still appears.
Disabling secure boot can make your computer more vulnerable to malware and other security threats, so it’s important to re-enable it once you’ve resolved the issue. If the disabling secure boot doesn’t fix the problem, there may be another issue with your computer or device.
