I was doing my full image backup with Clonezilla today and found the secure boot option had been enabled on an Intel NUC. Good idea which I will carry forward but suprised me as it is a BIOS option.
Do you ever update your BIOS (or do you have a utility from Intel that will do so?) Recent BIOSes from ASUS and Gigabyte (the only brands I have around that have received updates) have made changes specific to Windows 11 to default enable the necessary support (so Secure Boot and TPM support.)
Nope, this is a machine I maintain. The operator wouldn't have the motivation to navigate in the BIOS to this settings. I would have been called if this popped up. As this is an Intel NUC it could have been an update pushed through M$ to the device.
Could have been part of a firmware upgrade that MS did to microcode that had the flag set, so update did it to all the NUC's in a region under the update server.
