Alternate operating systems must not be permitted on the same system.
Discussion
Allowing other operating systems to run on a secure system may allow security to be circumvented.
Check Procedure
Verify the system does not include other operating system installations. Run "Advanced System Settings". Select the "Advanced" tab. Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section. If the drop-down list box "Default operating system:" shows any operating system other than Windows 11, this is a finding.
Fix Action
Ensure Windows 11 is the only operating system on a device. Remove alternate operating systems.
