how do I activate secure boot? It’s on but not active.
Make sure your pc has CSM disabled. If it isn’t you need to check to see if it will boot after disabling it. Don’t disable it and then try enabling secure boot straight away. Restart the machine and make sure it boots ok or you risk bricking the mobo. Currently the system mode (at the top of your screenshot) is set to setup. We need to change this to User. To do this you need to disable secure boot, yours says enabled. Then change secure boot mode from standard to custom. Change it back from custom to standard accepting the factory defaults Then re-enable secure boot. More on reddit.com

May 16, 2026 - Enter the Gigabyte BIOS/UEFI with the Delete key. Switch to Advanced Mode if needed. Open the Secure Boot menu. Set Secure Boot to Disabled. Press F10 and choose Save & Exit. You usually do not need to re-enable CSM just to turn Secure Boot off. Only enable CSM again if you specifically need Legacy boot support, and remember that doing so may make Windows report Secure Boot as unsupported or unavailable.

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.

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.

Hey, I’m trying to get my pc to work with windows 11. I enabled tpm 2.0 and secure boot before installing it, Updated my bios and installed. However secure boot says it’s off on windows 11 and not active in bios even though it was on when I was running windows 10. I have an Aorus elite b550, r7 5800x and 3070. Any help with this would be great. Thanks in advance!

As posted make sure its Secure Boot you need - not just UEFI boot. Make sure you are booting OK with CSM disabled before changing Secure Boot settings. People have bricked their system by following the wrong steps. I also had it saying enabled not Active - this is a BIOS glitch it's not really enabled On the secure boot settings if it says Mode:User you should be able to simply Enable Secure Boot Otherwise (if it says Mode:Setup) - Disable Secure Boot if it says Enabled - If it says Standard change to Custom - Change Custom to Standard accepting Factory Defaults - Enable Secure Boot

Go to BIOS and reset the keys. I enabled secure boot and it showed "off" in Windows. After I went into BIOS and reset the keys, it shows as "on" now. EDIT: Reset keys = reset factory defaults (I think that's what it's called).

UPDATED: to provide clarity and to avoid missing steps which some individuals have encountered: Here's what worked for me on a different Gigabyte board with a Ryzen processor - I had to disable CSM under the Boot tab before "Secure Boot" would show up. Here's what I did on this machine to get it working, see if it works for you - 🛑 FIRST, Check This in Windows (IMPORTANT!) Why? If Windows is installed on an older MBR disk, disabling CSM will stop your PC from booting. You must have a GPT disk (it's no problem if you do this, see below, it's just easier to check first and convert the disk to GPT if you need to). How to check: Press Windows Key + R, type diskmgmt.msc, press Enter. Find your main Windows disk (usually Disk 0). Right-click on the disk and select "Properties". Go to the "Volumes" tab. Look at "Partition style". It must say: ✅ "GUID Partition Table (GPT)" If it says ❌ "Master Boot Record (MBR)", you must convert your disk from MBR to GPT before you can proceed with the steps below. If your disk is GPT, then do the following: Restart Computer Press "Del" key while booting to get into BIOS Make sure it's in "Advanced Mode" (If it's in Easy Mode press F2) Go to "Settings" tab at the top... Scroll down, ensure AMD CPU fTPM is ENABLED on AMD machines - or "Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT)" or "Intel Trusted Technology" (depending on your motherboard) is ENABLED on Intel machines. Go to "Boot" tab at the top Scroll down to "CSM Support"... click and make it DISABLED "Secure Boot" will then appear below it... Click on "Secure Boot" - change Secure boot to enabled Press OK to message Press F10 - click Yes to save and exit Machine will reboot with secure boot now... NOTE: Secure Boot requires a GPT-formatted disk. If you disable CSM with an MBR disk, your PC will not boot. If you've done this, Do Not Worry, this is Easily Fixed - Restart and enter the BIOS again (press Del/F2). Navigate back to the "Boot" tab. Find "CSM Support" (or "Compatibility Support Module") and set it back to ENABLED. Save and exit (F10). Your system will now boot normally again. You CANNOT "brick" your machine with this process. You just need to put it back into a bootable state again, that's all.
