My Dell PC got hit really hard by this bug in the latest update. I ended up doing a full system restore after it kept freezing my PC after a few minutes after starting. Then I saw this thread. Disabling the PI scheduled stop the freezing. At least I have a work around for now. Thank you for the update. This really helped.

Just a brief update to save my system it’s been 100% stable since disabling the PI secure boot task. How do we get to this message to Microsoft and how will I know it’s been fixed so I can enable it again?

    I do not believe there will be a "fix". Either your hardware is capable of secure boot or it is not. That is my take anyway. I view this as a 30 day ticking time bomb (till July Updates) and I am backing up my system and purchasing new hardware. This temp fix just bought e a small reprieve. My hardware was old and I was planning on purchasing new hardware in Jan anyway. Just moved up my time frame.
