Windows11 Prompts "Secure Boot KEK Update" Should I Install It?
The system showed a "Secure Boot KEK update" notification. What is this, and is it necessary to install?

Occasionally, firmware updates or security patches include updates to the KEK to maintain security, trust, or compatibility. These updates might be necessary if Microsoft or your hardware manufacturer has changed the trust policies or needs to revoke compromised keys.
