Windows 10: Can you enable secure boot without going into the BIOS settings

Hi, I’m currently trying to enable secure boot on my computer because and application requires it to be enabled. I have tried to go change this but when ever I go into it the computer refuses to get a signal to the monitor so I cannot change anything. If anyone knows a way to enable secure boot without BIOS it would be greatly appreciated.

Secure boot won't enable

When I go into BIOS settings it says in the information tab that secure boot is disabled, but when I go to the security tab, is says that secure boot is enabled. There is a game I want to play that requires secure boot to be enabled. But every time I go to BIOS to enable it, it's either disabled again, or enabled. Either way, it doesn't say that secure boot is enabled and I can't open the game. Please help

 

Secure Boot Enabled in BIOS, but not Windows 11

Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

It's possible that there may be a few reasons why Windows is reporting that Secure Boot is off, even though you've enabled it in your BIOS settings. Here are a few things you can try:

Verify that your computer's UEFI firmware is up-to-date. Check your motherboard manufacturer's website for any available BIOS updates.

Check that your operating system is configured to use Secure Boot. In Windows 11, you can check this by going to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Advanced Startup > Restart now. Once your computer restarts, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings. This will take you to your computer's BIOS settings. Make sure that Secure Boot is enabled here.

Verify that your boot configuration is set up to use Secure Boot. You can do this by going to the System Configuration settings in Windows 11. Press the Windows key + R and type "msconfig" in the Run dialog box. In the System Configuration window, click on the "Boot" tab, and make sure that the "Safe boot" and "No GUI boot" options are unchecked.

Check for any third-party software that may be interfering with Secure Boot. Antivirus software, system optimization utilities, and some other programs may interfere with Secure Boot. Try temporarily disabling any such software to see if that resolves the issue.

Finally, it's possible that your computer's hardware does not fully support Secure Boot, even if your BIOS settings are configured correctly. You may want to check with your computer's manufacturer to see if your particular model supports Secure Boot.

I hope this helps you get Secure Boot working on your machine.

Regards.

Hi MA105343

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Do you have your drive encrypted with Bitlocker Encryption?

If you do use Bitlocker to encrypt your drive, do not perform these steps!

If you do not use Bitlocker, go into BIOS and on the same tab as Secure Boot, you should see the option to reset TPM keys, perform that action and save those settings, Windows should then see Secure Boot is enabled.
