What?

Every single one of them does. Just switch to the UEFI Setup and disable Secure Boot.

Note that I'm talking about Arm 64-bit Windows, and not the earlier Windows RT which is dead. Details for Linux for the best-supported Windows on arm64 laptops on that front at: https://github.com/aarch64-laptops/build

As of 2017, they both didn't allow UEFI Secure Boot to be disabled, and didn't allow UEFI Secure Boot to be switched into Custom Mode.

It looks like they walked some of that back at some point.

They did. Every single Windows on Arm64 system since release allowed Secure Boot to be off.

That limitation only applied on 32-bit Arm systems (Windows RT & Windows 10 Mobile, ARM != ARM64)

Then that's not "every single one of them", because there are Windows on ARM devices that aren't ARM64.
