🔒 Secure Boot Checking on Python

[acoustic spindle]

Hello I've tried to find out whether secure boot is enabled here is the code of what I tried:

def is_secure_boot_enabled():
try:
    # PowerShell command to check Secure Boot status
    ps_command = 'Confirm-SecureBootUEFI'
    
    # Execute the PowerShell command
    result = subprocess.run(['powershell', '-Command', ps_command], capture_output=True, text=True)
    
    # Process the result
    if "True" in result.stdout:
        return True
    elif "False" in result.stdout:
        return False
    else:
        print(f"Unexpected output: {result.stdout}")
        return None
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
    return None

This requires Admin / Elevated Permissions to run, so I was unable to run this command

I've also tried another script:

which also had an issue :

Error: (-2147217392, 'OLE error 0x80041010', None, None) None

Let me know if theres another way to find out.
