I just updated my bios and still get Microsoft event ID 1801 and 1796 related to Secure Boot Certificates not applied to firmware yet.  Do I need to manually update or will windows update take care of the error events? or will a future bios update take care of issue?

 
Do you know if 
Is the Secure Boot certificate update compatible with:

  • BIOS version: AMI F.06 7/16/ 2025

  • BIOS mode: UEFI

  • Secure Boot state: Enabled

  • System Model: HP OmniDesk Desktop M03-0xxx

Hi @C-King,


Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Please note :

  1. Windows Update delivers updated Secure Boot DB/DBX certificates.
  2. The BIOS/firmware is responsible for applying them.
  3. Sometimes, the application of certificates only occurs during a future BIOS update or after a specific firmware handshake.

So typically, you do not need to manually update anything, and a future HP BIOS update may clear these event logs.

 

1. Check Secure Boot status in Windows

  • Press Win + R, type msinfo32 and press Enter
  • Verify:
    • Secure Boot State = On
    • BIOS Mode = UEFI

2. Verify BIOS Secure Boot keys

  • Reboot and enter BIOS (F10)
  • Look for options like Restore Factory Keys or Load Secure Boot Keys
  • If available, restoring them can ensure Windows and firmware are synchronized

3. Keep Windows fully updated

  • Check Optional Updates in Windows Update
  • Sometimes the certificates are updated separately from standard updates

    I hope this helps.
