Ive asked around in various places online but I can’t find a solution.

I’ve recently upgraded to windows 11, but to play some of my games i need to have secure boot and tpm2.0 enabled. I found secure boot in bios settings, enabled it.(i already have boot mode set to UEFI, not legacy) it is enabled in bios settings, but status is disabled, and in windows system information it also says it’s off. Please help me, I’ve been at this for multiple days.

Hello everyone Since yesterday i'm trying to enable secure boot. But even if i select enabled in secure boot the status won't change. I tried everything i could find but can't change the status.

I haven’t seen this solution posted before.

The answer to the “secure boot is disabled” is actually as simple as enabling secure boot. However if you just enabled it through BIOS, are on windows 11 and do not have a brand new motherboard model then windows will not allow you to enable secure boot even though it says enabled on the BIOS.

I followed the instructions from the website below ————————————————————— CHECK SECURE BOOT:

1. Press Windows image + R keys to open the run command box.

2. Type msinfo32 and click OK to open System Information.

3. On the System Information page, check the BIOS Mode and the Secure Boot Status.

If BIOS mode is set to: UEFI Secure Boot status set to: Off

proceed to the steps below ———————————————-

Part 1. Enable Secure Boot in BIOS/UEFI. Activate Secure Boot in UEFI Firmware settings from Windows RE.

1. Hold down the Shift key and from the Power icon image select Restart to boot your system in Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).

2. Then select Troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> UEFI Firmware Settings and select Restart.

3. Navigate to the System Configuration tab, select Boot Options.

4. In Boot options, Change Secure Boot and select Enabled.

5. Save and Exit from BIOS Settings.

and while a bit technical it should end up working. https://www.wintips.org/fix-secure-boot-unsupported-or-unavailable/

Secure boot is enabled but it says not active. My BIOS mode is UEFI. My drive is GPT. And CSM is off. Also secure boot was on by default I just checked everything I can’t find out why it won’t work.

I would like to get it working so I can play the BF6 beta

I have a gaming motherboard from Asus and I have entered the Advanced Mode and gone to the "Boot" section, and entered the Secure Boot menu where "Secure Boot state" is "Enabled".

Secure Boot state        Enabled
Platform Key (PK) state  Unloaded
OS Type                  Other OS
Key Management

According to tutorials I found online, I'm supposed to enter Key Management and then "Clear Secure Boot Keys". But what on Earth does this even do? Will I be able to boot into Windows after I do this? Do I need to save it before I do it?

The only reason I want Secure Boot disabled is so I can use Memtest86+ which warns after installation that I need to disable Secure Boot for it to operate correctly (I suppose). Here's the exact message:

Memtest86+ 7.00 installed on USB Drive.

The necessary files are installed on your USB drive and the drive is now bootable.

WARNING: Memtest86+ 7.00 is not signed by Microsoft for Secure Boot. Disable it from your BIOS options before trying to boot this USB Drive.

So I'm having issues with Windows (corrupted DISM component store and unable to restore health or connect to Windows Update to fetch needed files, or use alternate WIM source), issues with RAM, issues with my SSD disk, and the last thing I need is Secure Boot to put the final nail in the coffin and render my computer completely unbootable. Just saying... I have a lot on my plate right now. Now this... Secure Boot mumbo jumbo! Please advise! Thanks.

My Laptop is Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8.

Saw some videos on how to fix the issue but they did on PC and they told to change the mode to custom and then back to standard but setting to change the mode is greyed out.

How to fix this issue?

Can somebody help me enable the secure boot status in my laptop. I already tried all the videos in YouTube but none of that work. I tried already to reset factory keys still didn't work. I cant play League of Legends because of this.

I've tried setting up a user administrator password, I've tried using optimized defaults with F3 but after saving changes and restarting the bottom process it gives the error again and default to standard secure boot enabled

FIXED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BinSriPqyKU

If the error persists but you can at least access the previously greyed out area do this: (My case:
SECURE BOOT - Disabled(Custom or Standard doesnt matter) - Windows is loading properly
SECURE BOOT - Enabled(Custom or Standard also doesnt matter) - error "invalid signature detected"
But i need secure boot working properly(FOR FACEIT AND VALORANT)
I tried everything from this thread and nothing was helpful

(SOLUTION)

Bios - Security- Secure Boot - Enroll EFI IMAGE - and then we need to choose right partition(DO NOT CHOOSE PARTITION WHERE U SEE YOUR WINDOWS FILES), in my case it was 3 options
I choose option where was EFI folder, then we choose inside this folder Microsoft , then Boot, and then from this bootmgfw.efi
So the right folder is EFI - Microsoft - Boot - bootmgfw.efi
AND IN THIS CASE my secure boot was worked properly and i could finally play faceit)

Hi all,

out of our fleet of 2k i have noticed around 100 of them are reporting secure boot is off. Look a bit deeper into a few devices it seems they are stuck in "Setup mode" in the bios. The only fix seems to be going into the bios of each device going Secure Boot > Restore Factory Keys. Once this has been done the device changes to user mode and secure boot turns on and shows "on" in the OS. Has anyone else come across this? I am at a bit of a lose as to what is causing this behaviour and i cant see anyway to automate a fix. Going forward i will create some reporting for it but i don't really understand what is causing it. Any ideas?

I am trying to enable secure boot for safety (and because of vanguard) but I don't think I have enabled it correctly.

How do I make it not greyed out a selectable? I have a lenovo flex 5 and I'm not really good with computer stuff.

I have been at this for at least 5 hours trying to put my computer in secure boot mode, I’ve watched the video linked below and followed the steps, but every time I turn secure boot mode on, my computer will not boot into windows 11. I’m at a complete loss on what to do

I've been trying to enable both secure boot and TPM, but while the latter is active, the first one keeps being disabled everytime I restart my pc.

I get to the BIOS, enable it, but then, when I restart the system, it's disabled.

How do I fix this?

I have Windows 11 if that helps.

Hey there!

I'd like to test my hardware under Linux. My laptop (ASUS Strix) doesn't even boot if I have a USB connected that has another bootable partition.

So I guess I need to disable Secure Boot. When doing this, my UEFI warns me that all the Secure Boot stuff will be reset to factory defaults.

So then I'd like to install Linux, test the hardware stuff and return to Windows again by re-enabling Secure Boot.

Will everything be fine again? Is it even possible to resume my Secure Boot state?

I'm especially asking for gaming support (like Riot Games, which need this enabled).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,

A few months ago i decided to upgrade to windows 11 and at the time was not playing valorant but i now want to but am unable due to secure boot being disabled? This is not something ive done manually. I had no issues with this on Windows 10 but after the upgrade it is an issue. Is this something microsoft has done on purpose and if i enable it will there be any further issues?

Would it be a good idea to backup my files before going into BIOs as I am not too confident in BIOs.

I use a PRIME B550-PLUS motherrrrboard from ASUSTek if that helps for anything.

Many Thanks

Motherboard is an x670 elite ax

I have a z390 Aorus elite and i am trying to upgrade to windows 11 and so need to enable secure boot. I enter the bios and follow a video i am watching and disable CSM and then go into secure boot and i cant enable it because it says to disable CSM in setup and repeat operation after reboot to make sure UEFI video driver is operational. So in the video he save and exits and loads into windows 10 like normal but when i save and exit i end up back at the bios screen. The only way i found to get back to normal windows is to enable CSM support. But i need it disabled so that i can enable secure boot. Bios version is F3 i think it said How do i fix this?

Edit: i kept doing the same thing and then secure boot enabled but now after save and exiting my screen is just black and no input to monitor. How do i fix this now? Did i fuck it up even more?
