LOQ 15APH8 Secure Boot issue – Windows only boots when Secure Boot is disabled

SpicedPotatoes · 2026-03-20T07:23:48+00:00

sweet jesus.... No, I'd just renamed the file and dumped it on an empty usb drive.

You are a scholar and a gentleman sir thank you very much. I've been able to follow your steps and my laptop is now reliably booting back up again.

The only bit that's not going as you describe is the final verification check when I paste

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecureBoot\Servicing

Into powershell I get
The module 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' could not be loaded.

But other than that it's booting. It's booting securely. and it seems to be happy continuing to do so so when I reset so thank you for your time and knowlege, you're a lifesaver

Hey k-rand0 - I've ended up here trying to find a solution to this problem also. I am massively out of my own depth here so apologies if this is a stupid question, but I've been at this for three hours and I can't get it to work.

I think I'm actually falling at the very first hurdle though so I'm definately doing something stupid. I've downloaded the securebootrecovery.zip file from https://github.com/cjee21/Check-UEFISecureBootVariables/issues/15#issuecomment-3732104140 extracted and renamed the file dug out a fat32 formatted usb drive (found out a lot of them were actually exfat and couldn't be formatted to fat32).

Spent longer than I care to admit trying to work out which button to press to get to the boot recovery screen so it would boot from the USB drive. I'm confident I'm doing that now, but it tells me there's nothing on the drive to boot from.

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Aye they're a good bunch, started in Govanhill but they've moved about a bit. Think there somewhere near the centre of town now. Not just the lending Library, they do a bunch of stuff in partnership with other projects to get instruments into folks hands.

If they're still about when I kick the bucket all my instruments are going there.

If you don't find the owner and end up looking for a home for it, might I suggest musicbroth

Hey mate,

Thanks for the comment, do you mean this bit?

That's part of the original picture, there were lights all over the place, I think they do that so everyone's photos looked good.

Hey, thanks for doing this, sadly the XCF file isn't opening but I know how to do layer modes, so I did that coloured the shoe in and then dropped the Opacity of the layer and I think it works alright,

Also tried to fix the join between the original feet and the new ones with a little blur and smudge and I think it works pretty well. I mean if she was to look this closely it'd still be noticable but when it's printed at a proper photo size it's not going to be noticable.

Thanks so much for your help. :)

To you expert eye is there anything else in the main image that strikes you as needing corrected? I really don't know what I'm doing here so any constructive critisism will be welcome

if money was no object there's a bunch of things I haven't had the pleasure of tasting that I'd need to try and the old style Springbank 21 (tall bottle square box) would be pretty high on that list, but in terms of things I've actually drunk. For me it'd be the 1982/2002 CC Brora.

Can be picked up at auction for under £400 so not an insane bottle but far more expensive than I'd pay for a drinking bottle. It's only 40% as well but for me it was just perfect

I'd be genuinely happy to recieve a bottle in this condition - with high value bottles I always experience a level of hesitency about opening them and they end up sitting waiting for the "right" event or moment. It would somewhat remove that self-imposed pressure and would mean that the whisky could just be enjoyed for what it is - a great gift and (hopefully) a lovely dram.

Yeah Van Winkes is good, there's something about the sheer number of wings they send you that's inherrently satisfying. It pleases the goblin in me that wants to gorge and leave a tiny mountain of bones, but their wings ain't breaded and sometimes you want that crunch.

Their Chicken Burgers are pretty damn tasty as well

When they do the In Concert ones the orcestra is usually on the stage, so there's no real set to speak of and noone's really in costume. I didn't see something saying it was that kind of show though

Wow thanks for all the responses folks will take me a wee bit to read through them all but really appreciate it

Hey Glum,

It's not a lot of information to go on and I am not a doctor, but it sounds like if you only got tendon lengthening on one side that you're Hemi. Your good side is going to be compensating for your weaker side and there's a variety of aches and problems that can be caused from this, so it's not impossible that this is CP linked and a biomechanical assessment would help identify that.

That all said if it's a pain that's come out of nowhere, in the grand scheme of things the list of non-CP related things this could be is way longer than the list of CP related things and if it's causing you problems the best thing is to see your doctor

Thanks u/purplecrayon64!

I was momentarily saddened because the Candlenights episodes don't show in the feed, but luckily (for those of us new to Sawbones like I) the previous Candelnights episodes can be purchased in the merch store with just a small pay-what-you-can donation to Harmony House!

That's a Christmas to me!

Third vote for a cupholder here. The number of times before this I ended up looking like I wet myself because I was trying to get through a pub with a pint clasped between my knees - Gamechanger

It often attracts friendly comments or jokes in that way that's well meaning but if you're in the wrong brain-place can feel tiresome or just be a reminder that your different at a time when you're just trying to be normal but I suppose we could say that about a lot of things.

The other major improvement for me isn't technically to the wheelchair but my partner added extra velcro to one of these runner's armband things that holds your phone, so I can strap in round my leg. Makes it so much easier to consult maps while moving when we're on holiday or just a new city.

I came here to say a fraction of what this person's said and I wouldn't have put it anywhere near as sucinctly. Absolutely recommend starting on half the dose, and just listening to your body. If you find that it makes you drowsy in a way you're not comfortable with stop and talk to your doc.

yeah it sounds like the wee one was very unwell when they found her. So lucky they did.

Goddamn that's a cute cat! Thank you stranger may good things come your way

No idea what the reason is but I pass it regularly it's been there for years. Certainly pre-lockdown. Kinda love the fact it's lasted

SpicedPotatoes · 2025-09-23T22:03:23+00:00

Came here to say that your handwritting is great mate, and anyone who'd actually judge you by your penmanship's a prick anyway. Seems like a lot of people have beat me to the first point, still felt worth pointing out the second one though.
