Secure boot certificates are to expire in june 2026

Question

HI have read and learned that soon starting in June 2026 that the secure boot certificates will expire. What I want to to now is how do I now if my secure boot certificates are up todate. So I went into powershell and ran as administrator. Then I copied and pasted the following command witch is:

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

when I put the command in powershell I got a whole bunch of sentences witch i do not understand. So I took a screenshot.

What I want to now how can I see if my secure boot certificates are up to date. I have secure boot enabled all ready. I have windows 11 home 64 bit operating system

So my inspiron 7706 is not on the list so does this mean I will not receive the updated secure boot certificates.

That is correct - it will not.

Hi all I've just updated my Inspiron 3910 to the latest BIOS but still got the 2011 certificates. Would it make a difference what version of windows 11 I'm on (e.g. 22h2, 23h2, 24h2 etc.)? Thanks

I was able to update my Dell XPS Desktop 8930 and Dell XPS 15 7590 by following this procedure:

trigger 2023 certificate updates through powershell

Also was able to use it on a HP Laptop. All are working with Secure Boot with the 2023 Certificates.
