Open the BIOS and go to the Advanced mode Under [settings] menu enable [AMD CPU FTPM] - (if you have an AMD CPU) Under [Boot] Menu Disable CSM Support then you will see a new option down called Secure Boot Open [Secure Boot] and change it to (Enabled) if it was set to (Disabled) then click [Secure Boot mode] and change it to (Standard) - and I like to mention that if you find [Secure Boot mode] is set to (Standard) already, change it to (Custom) and then change it to (Standard) again, that will reset the Standard mode to make sure that you won't have an issue that Secure Boot State is still OFF after Enabling in BIOS which I had and that fixed it - Then hit F10 or [Save and Exit] and restart your pc ... open [System Information] on Windows and check the [Secure Boot State].

how is the hard rive formatted? IIRC, you need to have the drive formatted for a specific format, GPT i think. If you have MBR as your drive format, it wont work. Had the same problem myself.

October 11, 2013 - I see you started with Win 8 - did that ever work w/secure boot enabled? Then you tried to throw in Linux for a dual boot - is that where you are right now? If so, and I were in your shoes, I would can the idea of dual-booting Win 8 and Linux with secure boot because your BIOS has a toggle option for Win 8 enabled or disabled that either allows your secure boot to work with win 8 or another OS so I'm guessing you can't have it both ways.

Aight so I tried to turn on Secure boot on my Motherboard, and I got a message;
System in Setup Mode!
Secure Boot can be enabled when System in User Mode. Repeat operation after enrolling Platform Key(PK)
Motherboard: "MSI H310M PRO-VDH Plus" AKA: El Cheapo Motherboard (Purchased Mid-2020)
Note: I am not going to be online until the next day (where I live)
Update: After fiddling with settings while trying to figure out what the unclear instructions the BIOS gave me meant, I found out the solution was to make sure UEFI was enabled in a windows setting (Under advanced, then windows OS). Then I could change the Secure Boot Mode to custom, switch it back to standard, and that made the System go to user mode for some reason. After that, I could finally enable Secure Boot
Small Edit: Looks like this was really useful for people 5 months after the original post; I will just post this video that should help as it helped me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NivpAiuh-s0

i found a workaround. I'm using MSI MGP 570 gaming plus motherboard. Initially, secure boot was disabled, and the "manage keys" option right below it was greyed out. However, I changed the "secure boot MODE" option from "standard" to custom, and then I was able to click the "manage keys" option and the fiddle around with it, something like "reset to factory default keys" or something. Then I was able to turn on secure boot, and change the secure boot MODE back to standard, and then it gave me the option to reboot, and it worked perfectly.

Go to the Boot tab and find CSM. Set "Launch CSM" to Disabled. This puts the BIOS in UEFI mode. Be careful, though—changing CSM might prevent Windows from starting up if it is currently enabled. If you change this setting, you might need to back up your files and reinstall Windows. Now, let's check Secure Boot.

October 17, 2025 - Basically, I get to the point where you restore factory defaults in the secure boot menu of the BIOS and a pop up that I see in tutorials does not appear for me, and the system mode doesn't change to "User" when it is supposed to. Once I confirm "Yes" to installing the factory keys, nothing happens. The system is still in setup and when I try to enable secure boot, I'm told that "Secure Boot can be enabled when System in User Mode.

After making these changes, save and reboot. Your Secure Boot should now be
enabled, and the BIOS should show a proper state instead of “Unavailable.” If
Windows was installed in Legacy mode, you may need to convert the drive to GPT
using mbr2gpt /convert /allowfullos in an elevated Command Prompt before Secure
Boot can be activated. Ensuring CSM is off, the boot mode is UEFI, and the drive
is GPT typically resolves the issue.
