No I cant disable Secure Boot. Why can't you disable it? Because of a technical reason (no, you wrote you already tested 'secure boot off'), a policy or anything else? If it's due to a security policy, do you have explicit permission to run any software like BOINC or any app from an arbitrary project? Assuming you are permitted, you would need to use certified software. An example regarding VirtualBox can be found here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1455974/signing-virtualbox-modules-with-efi-secure-boot-enabled |

The machine dual boots with Windows, a number of games require it. |
