Microsoft rolled out some new secure boot update and long story short, it broke my PC. I don't know if I'll have to reinstall Windows, so its very stressful given the circumstances because I do a lot of work on there. I have been flipping back and forth all day from the BIOS menu to the main menu in hopes of regaining Internet access. Tried Ethernet, tethered USB phone hotspot, and Wi-Fi 6 via network adapter, all to no avail. Now, the reason this is an issue, is because I cannot generate a new PIN without Internet. The reason I need a new PIN is because I reverted my safety settings to factory defaults before re enabling secure boot (would be risky to enable secure boot when there's a possible unsigned/corrupted driver attempting to load on startup, wasn't trying to get my PC stuck in a boot loop).

So after countless hours of manually typing in my 40 or so character long BitLocker key every single time I made a minor change in the boot menu, I finally surrendered and decided to call Microsoft support to figure out what the fuck this update was for. So I get in touch with an employee, and my heart sank when I read his name. Shareeque. I shit you not. Couldn't tell if this was a hood niggers name or a jeets name, but after about 3 messages I realized this was 100% a jeet. He decided to call me out of the blue, and when I tell you this guy spoke nothing but Punjabi with a couple of English words sprinkled between, I'm not joking. Straight off the rip I had no idea what this motherfucker was saying.

After asking him to clarify his initial statement about 3 times I practically just ignored the sounds coming out of his mouth and said random things related to my PC while I tried to figure it by myself. And this nigga hits me with "ok, now restart your computer and tell me what you see." He did this multiple times, and no, he was not referring to shift + restart to enter advanced startup. LMAO. I had to tell this guy how to enter advanced startup. Unbelievable.

It got to the point where he was more an inconvenience than an assistant so I just told him I'd contact a Windows or HP employee and go from there. Tech companies hiring third worlders should be illegal, unless they can speak fluent English they have no business trying to diagnose tech problems.

So yeah, hung up and missed the window to call HP or Windows support on the phone, so thats first priority tomorrow. After that I found myself digging up archaic internet sites detailing how to brute force your way into the built in admin user to bypass the PIN, but I've gotten nowhere. Might be time for a wipe. Fingers crossed the person I speak to tomorrow is a white guy or at the very least a native English speaker.

TL;DR: A new update fucked my machine and the jeet that was there to assist me had the technical knowledge of a 3rd grader.

Did he try to shit in the PC
 
This is a known issue. I remember reading about it is called KB5083769. It was in the tech news last week. I saw a thread about this on the LTT forum a few days back.


The old 2011 Secure Boot certificates are expiring in June 2026 so they're automatically delivering the new 2023 certificates through Windows Update. You can probably find info on this on reddit or any of the news articles. It's a known issue. Definitely try HP support since BIOS + Secure Boot behavior is OEM-dependent. If you are comfortable with command line coding you try to fix it yourself but if you don't have experience doing low level stuff and exactly know what you are doing don't try to fix it yourself and ignore that guy. First line tech support don't know these things. They aren't engineers he was probably just reading some script
