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.

 

enabling secure boot

Hi Kaushik_000,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Most likely, Windows System Information is reporting Secure Boot incorrectly, it may be having problems reading your BIOS, because Windows 11 normally cannot be installed if Secure Boot is not enabled..

Boot your PC into BIOS

Please provide a photo of each of the tabs you have available in BIOS, so that I can see all settings available to you in BIOS..

 

Unable to enable Secure Boot.

I recently downloaded FIFA 23 on my Lenovo Legion 5i (Windows 11). When I started the game it said, "Secure Boot is not enabled on this machine". I googled this issue and found instructions that would allow me to check status of and enable Secure Boot.

I followed the instructions to the word which led me to the BIOS and UEFI Firmware Settings. In the security tab, I found the toggle to enable/disable Secure Boot and enabled it. After the system restarted, having applied the setting, I checked System Information again only to find that Secure Boot is still "Off".

I ran advanced startup again to reach the BIOS and navigated to the Security tab in the UEFI Firmware Settings, only to find that Secure Boot state was "Disabled" BUT the toggle that allows you to enable/disable the Secure Boot state said "Enabled". I went through this process 3-4 times and I have simply been unable to enable Secure Boot.

Please help.
