Recent Windows OS update locks Tails OS out!

Posted by Tyred on 2024-August-16 12:06:47, Friday

Many boy lovers and lovers of privacy everywhere depend on the Tails operating system and the tor browser to access dark web child lover discussion groups and to privately access clearweb sites (such as boychat.org) without exposing their IP address. Microsoft would prefer that everyone conduct their internet business on a Windows OS where it can be safely monitored, so their most recent update has switched on something called secure boot in all windows PCs. Secure boot means that only approved operating systems may boot up your PC.

If you want to continue to use Tails OS (or any Linux OS) you are going to need to turn off secure boot. You can easily turn secure boot off or on by holding down the shift button on your keyboard and clicking on "restart" in the start menu. That will bring up the "Choose an option" menu.

Then click:
Troubleshoot
Advanced options
UEFI Firmware Settings

Then depending on the type of computer you have you'll need to search around for the "secure boot mode" toggle. It might be in the "security" menu or the "boot" menu or in the "advanced" menu. The toggle will be between "Enabled" and "Disabled." You'll want to pick "Disabled" and then look around for the area where you can click on "Save and Exit." Now your usual Tails OS thumb drive will work again!

Here's a video shows how to turn off Secure Boot:
