[SOLVED] Disabling Secure Boot for VM

[Nollimox]

Is there a way to disable secure on the VM so it will boot UEFI mode?
Tried doing that while the VM starts up, no response to ESC key...seems the m2.nvme is too fast...
I am installing pfSense. One second makes it impossible unless I can make the change to the VM before it boots.

Well, persistence paid off...the key was to start hitting the ESC before clicking start VM.

When you are setting BIOS to UEFI and the wizard prompts you to create an EFI disk, do NOT check "Pre-enroll keys", since that uses MS's CA keys that only work for Windows

Honestly that toggle needs a different label. From what I have Googled those keys are for Windows/Windows Server only, and not Linux Secureboot (Similar to HyperV where you have two SecureBoot key options, one for Windows and one for everything else, ie signed Linux distros).
But glad it worked for you too.
