Persistent UEFI SecureBoot boot error messages

I have recently installed Arch Linux on a Thinkpad T450 with UEFI SecureBoot enabled. I followed the wiki, particularly the UEFI Secure Boot section. I should mention that I am dual booting Windows 10 as well, so I am using the existing UEFI partition when I install.

Now, I can boot into my Arch installation afterwards. However, I keep seeing the message that SecureBoot fails with this error message:

"Image failed to verify with *ACCESS DENIED*. Press any key to continue [OK]"

This happens twice. After pressing enter the first time, I am then presented with the boot menu (from which I can select Arch Linux). After selecting Arch Linux, it happens again, and when I press enter, it boots as usual.

I'm wondering if anyone has encountered a similar issue? If so, did you manage to solve it?

Have you switched off secure boot in your firmware settings?

edit: bios =/= firmware settings

Yes.

Thanks for checking everyone .

@Head_on_a_Stick: That indeed sounds very similar (if not the same) to what I am experiencing.

I ended up disabling SecureBoot eventually for now. More like a workaround than a solution, but I'll just have to wait for now I guess.

IHMO disabling Secure Boot is more THAN a solution...
