    So I have a usb stick with linux mint, i want to try linux mint without installing it. When i try to boot from the usb it said that "Security check failed" (I think is the secure boot). I know i can disable secure boot but i have windows 11 too and i don't want to disable it.

    Any solutions?

      Try to add a UEFI file as trusted for executing

      Security check errors during boot can occur due to secure boot settings. Try disabling Secure Boot in the BIOS and then rebooting your system to resolve the issue.

      Better to trust the EFI file, if it's known good, rather than opening yourself up to malware by disabling secure boot.
