I just decided to get my computer ready for Windows 11, and enabled Secure Boot on my PC, and it would not even boot into BIOS again after that. I have just wasted half a day debugging that, gaining access to BIOS again, and turning the Secure Boot setting off to get the computer working again! The culprit was my Asus/Nvidia Graphics Card which seems to be not compliant - it is a bit long in the tooth as GPUs go, but is working very well, so I have to figure out whether an upgrade lies in my future or not! I will probably just postpone migrating to Windows 11 for the time being - as of now there does not seem to be any compelling reason to do so, other than it is free!
