Secure boot violation error
Hi
I just received this error when I started my pc. When Bazzite is on top of the Boot list in Bios I receive this error. When I click ok, my pc just launch into Windows 11.
When I set Windows 11 on top of the Boot list in Bios, my pc just boots into Windows without this error.
I checked Secure boot in bios. I have the options Standard and Custom. But with both options I have this error.
Normally when I start my pc I first come into the Grubb menu where I can choose to boot into Bazzite or into Windows. I don't have this anymore.
I did not change anything in bios or somewhere else on my pc. So I don't know why I get this error.
Windows 11 and Bazzite are installed on separate ssd
Could someone help me with this?

Secure Boot Instructions - Bazzite Documentation
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
your bios updated most likely which wiped our secure boot keys from the bios and you need to add them back again
I can't enter Bazzite when I turn off secure boot. When I click on Fedora in the boot menu, it direct me to Bios.
unsure why it does that, maybe the actual boot file is missing? are you able to just select the bazzite ssd itself and boot that?
In the boot menu it only show this
i think the live iso might have a script to reinstall grub.
@Zeglius am i remembering correctly here?
since i am not sure about anything else really since i have only seen this behavior of being kicked back to bios if the bootfile is invalid or missing
UEFI, not grub, which is what is happening probably
The grub shim maybe have gotten replaced or something
But yeah the script should be able to fix that
How do I use this script? And if that does not work? A reinstall of Bazzite is needed?
It's in the apps menu
You just click it, follow the steps and that's it
What do you mean with apps menu?
You flash a USB with the live iso.
Boot it.
You find the script in the apps menu
Where do I find the appstore menu?
I booted my pc from the usb, and now I am on the desktop
press the WIN key?
Yes, then get the start menu
With system, utilities, office,...
But what do I choose there?
Search "boot"
Bazzite bootloader restoring tool?
Yes
That does nothing
When I choose the ssd where Bazzite is installed on and afterwards I press proceed, the window just closes
Try booting up again, the EFI entry now should be restored
No. I still have the same error.
I need to reinstall Bazzite then?
Safest option yeah
Ok
Last time I followed the steps from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxPsKhJGTrs

How to dual-boot Windows 11 and Bazzite (new version)
This is an updated version of my previous Bazzite dual boot guide. I've also added a new section for multiple ways of booting back into Windows which was missing in the previous video. Thank you for pointing this out in the comments. Unfortunately, it's not possible to add additional content to an existing video, so I've uploaded a new video.
N...
The steps where he makes the partitions.
Is this needed? Or can I just choose Automatic Storage Configuration?
When I install Bazzite on a separate ssd
Automatic should create an EFI partition automatically there so yeah
