I have an Asus VivoBook S14 S406U (runs Windows 10 64-bit) that run into this problem:
boot guard verified failed
system will shutdown
press any key
I wanted to use a Kali Linux live USB in order to get some files. But I don't manage to access the boot menu.
I've also read something about this error on the internet, but nothing helped. Some say:
That message is caused by a bad motherboard. It will need to be replaced.
some say that this might be a BIOS problem.
So is there a way to make it boot from a USB? Or can I somehow access my files without altering the files?

Something went wrong and your BIOS got corrupted and won't boot. This also means that you cannot neither reset the BIOS nor re-install it. The cause for the error is unknown, but is more often a power fluctuation.
You may find the right BIOS version to install on the webpage of
ASUS VivoBook S14 S406UA BIOS & FIRMWARE.
Unfortunately, to reset the BIOS may require dangerous hardware manipulations that I cannot advise to anyone who is not a computer technician.
It will take an ASUS-qualified workshop to reinstall this BIOS and to verify for further damage. Unfortunately, that is my best advice.
