Windows 11 Secure Boot certificates roll out to most devices in June 2026

Microsoft’s June 2026 Patch Tuesday update KB5094126 delivers Secure Boot 2023 certificates to a broader set of Windows 11/10 devices, replacing expiring 2011 certificates; home users typically don’t need to act as updates are delivered via Windows Update. You can verify status in Windows Security > Device Security > Secure Boot: green means fully updated, yellow indicates you’re waiting on more compatibility data, and red signals a firmware issue that requires an OEM BIOS/UEFI update. Expect several reboots as the certificates are staged into firmware. A new SecureBoot folder in C:\Windows may appear and should be left alone. Older PCs may take longer; devices with Secure Boot disabled cannot be updated. For IT admins, high-confidence devices auto-update (Intune); others can trigger via registry key AvailableUpdates=5944 or an Intune policy. HP devices had BIOS issues causing BitLocker prompts—update HP BIOS first. Note KEK expires June 24, 2026, with the DB key valid until October 2026; see aka.ms/GetSecureBoot for details.

Stryker’s Intune wipe hits 80,000 devices; no malware used

Last week’s Stryker cyberattack, linked to the Handala hacktivist group, targeted its internal Microsoft environment and used the Intune wipe command to remotely erase data on about 80,000 devices after an admin account was compromised; attackers claimed wiping 200,000 devices and stealing 50 TB, but investigators found no data exfiltration and no malware was deployed. Medical devices remain safe, while electronic ordering systems are offline and orders must be placed via sales reps as restoration proceeds. Microsoft’s DART and Unit 42 are leading the investigation, with full operations and shipping expected to resume as systems recover.
