Open powershell application, type following commads one by one

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI kek).bytes) -match ‘Microsoft Corporation KEK 2K CA 2023’)

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match ‘Windows UEFI CA 2023’)

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match ‘Microsoft UEFI CA 2023’)

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match ‘Microsoft option rom UEFI CA 2023’)

each time you see true means particular certificate is installed

The following cer's are complusary

‘Microsoft Corporation KEK 2K CA 2023’

‘Windows UEFI CA 2023’

‘Microsoft UEFI CA 2023’

‘Microsoft Option Rom UEFI CA 2023’

Or by using command prompt application run with admin rights

Powershell -command ([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI KEK).bytes) -match 'Microsoft Corporation KEK 2K CA 2023')

Powershell -command ([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Windows UEFI CA 2023')

Powershell -command ([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Microsoft UEFI CA 2023')

Powershell -command ([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Microsoft Option ROM UEFI CA 2023')

    Thanks for sharing this information.

    However, it looks more like a guide than a question.

    Could you clarify what issue you are facing or what exactly you need help with?
