Event details
To potentially answer my own question, it would appear there is some corruption within Windows on my affected devices and this issue resolved itself once a Windows reinstallation via the latest Windows 11 Pro ISO from Microsoft was done on top of an existing installation (ie: no lost data, settings, etc).
The computers were fully patched, including the latest cumulative update for their build version (24H2, etc)
All the usual DISM commands for checking / restoring health were run and completed successfully, but with no change on the reporting.
A reinstall of Win11 on top of the existing installation appears to be the fix in this situation.
Hi Ben_Draper I'm glad you were able to resolve the issue. It's not clear why the devices were in this state.
The WinCSFlags.exe only operates locally on the machine and is one method of triggering the Secure Boot updates. WinCS had a staggard release (Oct 2025 - Apr 2026). That may explain why WinCSFlags.exe were not on some the devices. See Windows Configuration System (WinCS) APIs for Secure Boot for details on the release date of each. This should not prevent the certificates from expiring since there are other methods of deploying (Intune, GPO, registry key, ...).
I think the more interesting detail is that UEFICA2023Status did not exist on these devices. We have seen this when the Secure‑Boot‑Update scheduled task is not running. It's not clear why it would not be running. There are troubleshooting details here on determining if this is the issue: Secure Boot troubleshooting guide - Microsoft Support - see the first scenario called "Secure Boot updates not applying (no progress)"
