I think security blocking of USB on your end it on Windows level, not BIOS.

If so, then Exam Boot ISO as you boot from it and the Windows security will not applied as you will not boot using Windows, you will be booting from Live ISO as a Fedora OS.

I had to do a few BIOS changes in order to boot from usb: 

1) Secure boot OFF

2) Enable Legacy boot rom

3) Disable PPT boot

Of course this may differ depending on the specific laptop, but there should be similar options

Hello,

I'm scheduled for a remote exam next week, I have one problem, I'm partially deaf and need to use a captioning service, will I be able to talk to the proctor via my phone (that has a captioning app) or is there a caption or chat option available during the exam? I won't be able to hear the proctor speak via the computer.

Please advise.

Thanks.

The chat option will be there when you "Start the Exam" (until you end the
exam) and the proctor will communicate with you via chat 99% of the time.

Anyway, wait for some moderators to comment on this. :)

Hey everyone,

I had a quick question about the "Creating a remote exam LiveUSB" section of the documentation -

The documentation only mentions Windows 10, 8.1 and 7. Will Windows 11 still work as expected for the live media creation and giving the exam?

And in general, would it be okay to use a Windows 11 laptop?

[Gineesh]

Yes, as long as you can successfully create the USB media, verify that you
can boot into the exam environment and do the compatibility test without
any problems. (Do it at least a week ago to ensure your environment is
ready and you will get enough time to test and reschedule exams in case of
any issues).

The Windows OS doesn't matter here as you will be using an isolated OS from
the USB.
I Hope this helps.

I have the same problem. Did you manage to solve it?

I previously faced this problem and when I contacted the Red Hat Exam Support, they guided me to use the old ISO, and by doing so, the old ISO worked fine and I was able to take the exam.

I did not like the old ISO and after some time, I tried the new ISO and it worked fine which I used in my remaining exams normally.

Hi

I need to buy a new set of keyboard and mouse that are wired, but if I go for a mouse like the Logitech MX Vertical which can both be connected by wire and at other times wireless will it be accepted if I use the wired connection when taking the exam?
