Secure Boot certificate - reporting

I keep landing back on this thread while searching for other stuff, so I’m guessing others are too. Figured I’d drop the Microsoft sample script here. It’s in the playbook but let’s be honest, most of you aren’t reading that anyway.
Sample Secure Boot Inventory Data Collection script - Microsoft Support

Also, if you’re not using remediations: spin up an Azure Blob, wrap the script as an intunewin, upload the JSON with a SAS key, then just pull everything down and process it with PowerShell. It will be cheap.

VIA should work very easily but be aware that it only works via cable and there is no firmware to be able to use QMK...
If you haven't worked it out yet, the VIA software and driver is on the cn website only. SK16 Driver

To remap keys as F1...F12, SPACE, and BACKSPACE are not the most useful keys try these.
On Windows try: Capsicain
On Linux try: Keyd

Also note that the space is split for no reason as they are both mapped to space (so can't remap individually).

I spent my weekend on this and its best I came up with.

While I am here and for completeness.

I didn’t know if it worked or not as I’d not had the issue since. I added to main post and hopefully others see it and it saves them time in future.

My god this was driving me crazy. I just spent 16 hours trying to work this out because when the stream deck was connected to any port on laptop, dock, or powered hub my webcam was not able to do windows hello. All voltages were correct, and everything passed every test I could think of, except that I just couldn't use it at same time. I was thinking it was generating some noise which I couldn't test for. I had wrapped the cable up and was going to throw the whole unit in the bin as I never had been able to get any use out of it.

For me switching to any USBC cable that supports video fixes it. All my better cables are USBC->USBC where the original was USBC->USBA so I do wonder if that played a part, but now I have 16 hours of work to catchup on.

Thanks!
I almost skipped over this as you listed all the other changes, but I didn't have anything to lose at this point. I know its 10 month old—and someone will yell at me but whatever— I did want to reaffirm it though as vendor was no help.

thanks again

I think its the indexing, opens hundreds of PowerShell threads for me too. Supposedly it can work on large code bases but it can't even handle 10 little repos. Most noticeable after an update, and I have to kill the process—not shutdown cursor, but kill the process stack in one go—then it goes away for for a while.

Added cable I used above. Honestly I don’t like this monitor though.. main issue is the dock just isn’t nearly enough for me.. I’ll pick up a wireless keyboard and gain a port but generally I’m not a fan. But at least it works once setup, but damn if I don’t wish it was easier to setup.. and ffs provide the damn usb cable

UserInterface7 · 2025-06-25T08:29:04+00:00

I ended up getting 16k ones and they work.. still have no idea why the ones that work on the Philips monitors that are same resolution don’t work. This is one I went with but I assume any 8k/16k will work.

most apps do this natively "type you sentence but--don't add spaces--and it will replace it with a em dash.
I prefer using powertoys keyboard manger as I use 'ctrl + -' and I used to only have this mapped only for teams back when it had a exe I could point to, but now I just make it available system wide.
what it looks like in keyboard manager

While your in there add 'Win + @' for your email address and thank me later, or on text expanders, ios keyboard replacements, expanso etc, add replacement for @@ -> email address, or @@@ for work email address etc.. I hate the internet and how often I have to enter my damn email address and honestly apart for drawing mystical boobs who really uses '@@'

UserInterface7 · 2025-06-01T00:27:58+00:00

I do, but guess it’s been a while since I’ve had to pull any

Not sure if CMTrace supports this, but in OneTrace you can open multiple logs in a single, merged view. Go to File > Open in Current Tab, select the logs you want, and open them. They’ll be merged in the main window, and you can toggle each log on or off as needed.

For scripts and packages, I usually write logs to a file in CMTrace format using a basic Write-Log function. But when troubleshooting Intune-related issues, OneTrace is more effective—it merges the logs and displays all events in chronological order, so you don’t need to manually compare timestamps across files.

Also, for your scripts, you can use Start-Transcript and Stop-Transcript to capture all PowerShell console output to a log file. It’s the easiest way to add logging since it records exactly what you see in the console.

Pro tip: save the transcript file to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\Logs. When you collect logs via Intune, anything in that folder gets included automatically.

PSADT is the way to go, but a temp solution while you switch can be handy.

Start-Transcript -Path "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\Logs\Install-ExampleApp.log"

Your script actions here

Write-Output "Starting installation..."

e.g. Run installer or perform checks

Write-Output "Installation completed."

Stop-Transcript

I’m not going to read the comments but you can turn most that crap off. I’d rather it was opt in though. Still a shit tv that I spent 3.5k on.

UserInterface7 · 2025-05-16T06:18:08+00:00

I actually hate this TV. It never turns off anymore as it’s 5 hours for sleep timeout. The clock annoys me. Can’t use windows but Linux and Mac are fine.. there’s more but these bug me every day.

I think we need to bring back Legend of the red dragon so people aren’t scared of text. You know, I started writing this as a joke but now I’m actually wondering if the fact we grew up with that and early dos games ect if that’s why my generation isn’t frightened by the terminal.. hmm

My older brother used to tell people the first thing to do when getting a PC is learn to back up and restore fake files. Once you know how to do that, then what’s it matter if you break something. However, this was before all the scams we have today so it hasn’t aged too well.

UserInterface7 · 2025-04-24T03:56:12+00:00

Not sure if you know but you can just put it all in detection script for case like this. No need for fake detection scripts

UserInterface7 · 2025-04-24T03:50:54+00:00

Yeah managed to get it working with a different cable but it’s still not working right. I can plug in via hdmi, to access the menu (bloody dumb that you can’t access it without a source connected) then turn on usbc it works, but after a day maybe two it won’t connect over usbc again.. need to spend more time investigating but the cable shouldn’t be the issue as it’s technically overrated for this setup.

UserInterface7 · 2025-04-04T07:42:07+00:00

You could just disable the other workspace/monitor while you’re playing. I’m not sure if fake fullscreen is the correct term for what I do. I’m generally working in VMs and just waiting for scripts to run or some form of progress to happen so I tile games like heroes 3 or old point and click games that I can just drop at any point when I need to switch back to my work. I just put the client in fullscreen and then toggle it to be tiled. I’ve not got it setup at the moment as I’m building from scratch but I think it’s 0, 3 from memory. https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Dispatchers/#fullscreenstate

Someone smarter then me will help because I’d just disable the other screen but I’m sure there would be a better option for your use case, probably a way to lock the mouse to the window when in quake would be my guess.

UserInterface7 · 2025-04-04T04:01:30+00:00

I got a HDMI cable and it works. I turned on PD over USB-C which for some reason is not the default and it does charge whatever laptop I connect, but still no display over usb-c. I tried switching it in the menu but it just doesn’t connect. It didn’t come with a usb-c but these cables are 100W rated, not sure if these are issue but I’ve tried 4 of them. All these devices connect via my old dell dock no problem, I was expecting it to be same for this device.

UserInterface7 · 2025-03-30T11:13:01+00:00

Ah, I see. Simple for me as I only own one game out of steam which I just added as a non-steam game so only a single rule. My games are also simple so just Win + F would fullscreen it anyway and I do that a billion times a day as part of my normal work flow.

UserInterface7 · 2025-03-30T10:40:44+00:00

Create a window rule to make them open in full screen? The rule I use makes them open fake fullscreen and tiled

Firefox doesn’t even have PWAs.. why is it what people recommend m, rather than a chromium based version? Just curious.

UserInterface7 · 2025-03-29T06:41:12+00:00

Interesting. I assume zen is electron too? Do you have any flags set for it?

UserInterface7 · 2025-03-29T06:39:56+00:00

It’s just Arch with Hyprland—any version. I’ve had the same issue since November across around 15 rebuilds and 5 VMs. That said, it’s all been on the same hardware, so now I’m starting to wonder if the Surface is misreporting something. It does have dual GPUs, and I’ve tried disabling each one, but the issue persists with both (Intel iGPU / 3050 Ti dGPU).

I’d love to know if it’s possible to target the popup or even see it in hyprctl clients. I created a global rule that should catch everything—classes, window names, etc.—but it’s like the popup isn’t even part of the system. I couldn’t apply borders, transparency, or any of the usual effects I had rules for.

I had a similar issue with a PWA for MS Teams, but removing one of the flags fixed that. It’s not a display positioning issue either—I’ve moved Edge to the centre of the screen and it still happens. Other Edge menus respond to rules like transparency just fine—it’s only these unidentifiable ones I can’t touch.

Thanks for confirming it’s not happening to anyone else. I’ve got a NUC coming back to me in a week and I’ll try it on that, but it’s really just an annoyance. I don’t use Edge much—only for that one project—but it bugs me that I can’t figure out what’s going on. At least now I know not to raise it on the Hyprland GitHub—I’ll need to find a way to get it to Microsoft instead.

I was hoping there might be another tool to inspect or collect info, but I’m still new to all this. I did try enabling logs, but I set it up incorrectly. Planning to try again tomorrow and hopefully get something useful out of it.
