Selected boot image did not authenticate

[Delia79]

I want to wipe Windows 11 pro clean from hard drive so I can dispose notebook. I am trying to boot wipe utility from flash drive but I'm getting message at boot "Selected boot image did not authenticate". First time seeing the message so I don't know what to do. Could someone help?

Hello @Delia79 

Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... I would like to help you.

(1) Enter BIOS and disable <Secure Boot>

See: HP PCs - Secure Boot (Windows 10)

(2) Try again

(3) Please report your results

Hello Ub6424

I disabled secure boot per your documentation. The BIOS layout on my Windows 11 notebook is different from Windows 10 (at least per pictures in your documentation). I struggled a bit to follow the instructions. I could not find legacy Support anywhere so I just disabled secure boot. I am happy to report that I now able to run the wipe utility from my flash drive. I thank you for your help.
