Secure boot isn't turning on in HP laptop (windows 11)

Hello Mohd_357,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.



I understand the frustration you’re facing with Secure Boot on your HP laptop. Let’s troubleshoot this issue step by step:

1. Load HP Factory Default Keys:
   
   • Go into the BIOS settings.
     
   • Navigate to System Configuration > Boot Options.
     
   • Look for an option to Load HP Factory Default Keys. If available, select it.
     
   • Check if Secure Boot becomes available after doing this.
     
2. Disable Fast Startup:
   
   • Boot into your operating system (Windows 11).
     
   • Open Settings.
     
   • Go to Updates & Security > Recovery.
     
   • Click Restart Now under “Advanced startup.”
     
   • Wait for your PC to boot into the system recovery menu.
     
   • Select Troubleshoot and then choose Advanced options.
     
   • Finally, select UEFI Firmware Settings.
     
3. Check BIOS Mode:
   
   • Ensure that your Windows 11 installation is in UEFI mode, not legacy mode.
     
   • If your notebook’s BIOS mode is set to legacy, you won’t be able to enable Secure Boot. You may need to reinstall Windows 11 from an EFI boot source.
     
4. Reset BIOS settings to Default:
   
   • Reset BIOS settings may restore secure boot settings to normal factory state.
     

Regarding TPM 2.0:

• Your PC may not have TPM (Trusted Platform Module) support, which is required for Windows 11.
  
• Additionally, Windows 11 requires an Intel 8th gen core processor or newer.
  

I hope it can solve your problem.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

2 laptops suddenly cannot log onto wifi.

Have 2 Win-10 laptops that were doing fine - Nighthawk R700P set up many months ago. Suddenly both cannot log onto wifi. Going to list of available networks, choosing "home" and disconnecting and then reconnect does not help. Suggestions? Not the greatest computer wizards here.

Lenovo laptop wanted latest Windows update; upon rebooting everything seems fine. Other machine is actually an HP all-o\in-one, not actual laptop - but Win10 anyway. Will check if update is needed.

Now HP is OK as well. Problem began there yesterday and on Lenovo today but now both seem OK. Curiouser & curiouser as Alice said; sorry to have taken up your time.

 

HP Laptop Boot Loop

I am encountering a boot loop problem with my HP laptop. Upon startup, it shows the HP logo and loading dots for about 11 seconds, then goes to a blank screen for approximately a minute before automatically restarting. The power button does not turn off during this cycle.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Tried hard reset and accessing BIOS/UEFI settings.
  
• Unable to boot into Safe Mode or recovery environment.
  

please see here the recorded video demonstrating the boot loop behavior for reference.

Any advice, troubleshooting steps, or insights into what might be causing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.
