GK3 Secure boot bios update

[Gabe]

Good news!

I appears that they may now have a BIOS for the GK3 that includes Secure Boot.

From the above linked post...

I am very happy to share this news with you. We have developed a safe start function for GK series machines. If your GK series models are restricted by safe boot and cannot be updated to Win11. You can contact me through the after-sales mailbox: 18898767762@163.com, I will send you a new version of the BIOS for you to use. When contacting, you need to attach a photo of your BIOS main interface so that I can confirm your BIOS version.

simonelombardo,

Hopefully they'll soon do the same for other models that don't officially support W11 because of the same thing, though I can certainly see why they're doing it with the GK3 first. It seems to be one of their most popular models.

I'm amazed at how well Windows 11 runs on my AK3 and T6 Pro, both of which have very similar components/specs to the GK3. I figured that they'd be slower, being low powered units and all, but they actually seem to be 'snappier' than with Windows 10.

Has anyone managed to update the bios?

We have not received the update yet

Does anyone have the old version for me to downgrade 03/2020

I received the BIOS update from the service (Nick).
The update also seemed to be successful, but unfortunately the computer is now dead.
It can still be switched on but it no longer starts. Not even the BIOS can be called up, the display remains black ...

The original BIOS on my device was dated 03/16/2021.
After the "update" there is no USB-Power (the light of a USB thumb is not on).
Switching off with the power button does not work either, I must plug out power-cable.
