March 11 seems like a long many months. Am i missing something or is it stopped at this last posted update shared by @mood

 

Thank You @stapp- Its out of my expertise but i want to be able to integrate PE Boot UFD's with it instead of having separate UFD's that are adding up fast.

 

There is no expertise needed, EASTER.
Just plug a UFD into your computer and install Ventoy to it. Add whatever bootable ISO you want.
When a new version of Ventoy is released, run the installer (Ventoy2Disk.exe), and it will update your existing Ventoy UFD without affecting your ISOs.

 

Hadron,

Did you use this with a UEFI system? Mine only worked with Secure Boot disabled. There was an option to install a MOK to enable booting with Secure Boot but I didn't do that. I installed a MOK with Linux Mint and my computer was unbootable (for all OS and UFDs) for several hours. I'm not doing that again.

 

Excellent @Hadron- This is all new ground for me and integrating several ISO's combined into a single UFD will surely make these maintenance tasks so much more simpler. I must have something on the order of 8 including regular PE's, some Imager's PE like IFW, Aomei, Macrium, etc and would be nice to have those on menu to choose from in place of having to use a single UFD for each one.

 

Yes, Brian, I've used it on a UEFI system.
Maybe I have secure boot disabled. Not sure either way as I've had a few sleeps since I was last in the BIOS.

I wasn't aware of an issue with UEFI systems and Secure Boot.
Is it a known issue?

 

It's a Ventoy issue. Some OS (esp Linux) won't boot if Secure Boot is enabled.

I'd be interested to hear if your Secure Boot is enabled.

 

I know on my motherboard, GIGABYTE X299X DESIGNARE 10G that Secure Boot is only configurable once CSM is disabled.
Maybe it's the same for all motherboards. Not too sure.

I'll reboot soon and have a look for you.

 

I think it's the same here. Disable CSM and then deal with Secure Boot.

Two different Gigabyte MBs.

 

I can't configure Secure Boot properly without disabling CSM.
The only option I get with CSM enabled is Custom or Standard. I don't know the difference between the two. It's not documented in my user manual.
Mine is set to Custom, but I can't customise it. I think it's because CSM is enabled.

In answer to your question, Secure Boot and CSM is still on.
I had a major BIOS security update a while back. A security flaw was found, and a few things have changed.
