August 9, 2025Aug 9 I have been researching this to no avail the last few days. My problem: I have a Windows 11 VM setup using OVMF TPM, using Q35 machine. Everything works perfectly and I haven't had any issues, but a few games I'm trying to play and games in the future seem to require Secure Boot turned ON, not just compatible. I'm wondering if this is even possible based on the fact you can't even boot Unraid with Secure Boot turned on in BIOS. I stumbled upon THIS thread about injecting Microsoft keys to turn Secure Boot on, but it is 3 years old and seems complex...curious if there is a better solution. Thank you!
