Hi.
I asked about this on Microsoft answers - Device protection in Windows Security - Microsoft Support
Didn't get many answers, thought I would ask here.
I will copy paste the question
Hi.
I have a Windows 11 Home laptop, an ASUS ROG Strix G18.
Im pretty experienced with PCs and their firmware, but I have had so many problems with UEFI over the years when used with alternate OSes (BSDs Linux, various bootable recovery tools you can install on a second HDD.) Because of this I have always told people who ask, they should disable Secure Boot and enable CSM/Legacy mode in their setup utility before attempting a dual boot. It's especially important if you want to install drivers that aren't included in the Linux kernel even with a secure boot capable Linux kernel.
Anyway, it's getting to the point where CSM/ LEGACY mode will probably be removed in a future BIOS update for mine, and many other laptop models, so it really isn't a good way to install things if you want them to still work in the future.
I know that to install Linux with out of kernel drivers, secure boot needs to be either turned off, or set to other OS in the setup utility in order to install a non secure boot compatible kernel (Other OS is basically turning it off anyway, system information will report it as such.)
But how would this interact with Windows 11? I know in Windows 10, it stopped automatic Windows updates (You just had to click install and do it manually, probably preferrable to some actually.) Also some software stopped working (Adobe creative suite, EA Games - FIFA, Valorant etc,) but I believe this could be fixed by switching secure boot back on.
I assume this is the same with Windows 11, but according to some - Switching secure boot on or off, locks you out of your computer if device encryption or bitlocker, are enabled, and the recovery key is required every time you start the computer. Apparently Even switching secure boot to the original setting does not fix this. Is this true?
