Discard load-options that start with WINDOWS #621

Open Metabolix opened 7 months ago

Metabolix commented 7 months ago

Windows bcdedit.exe creates boot entries where load options begin with "WINDOWS\0" (in 8-bit chars), followed by some Windows-specific data which is useless for shim. This data causes shim error "Failed to open \EFI\mypath\䥗䑎坏S".

Resolves: #370

Note: Depending on the system, these characters may be rendered as blocks or not at all. Most similar reports seem to contain either filled blocks or just the letter S, which may lead to misinterpreting the issue.

Are there any active rhshim developers who could review this?
