Hi @Lumate 

 

SBAT(Secure Boot Advanced Targeting)  It is used as a secure boot option for users who run both Windows and Linux on the same computer. If you only have Windows installed, it will not be updated; you must also have Linux installed. This does not affect the certificates emitted by Microsoft in any way.

 

SBAT It is not installed as a standalone program; it is automatically integrated into the bootmanager ( GRUB) of modern Linux distributions to manage Secure Boot revocation lists.

So when Linux is installed, Windows updates SBAT to incorporate its certificates and configure both operating systems to use Secure Boot (SBAT).
