Windows 10: PC Health Checker "This PC must support secure boot" but it's already enabled in UEFI settings?

I recently got myself a custom-built gaming computer, taking all of the windows 11 requirements into account when selecting the hardware for it. As far as I or the friendly neighborhood hardware technician can tell, it should be ready to upgrade I even fixed a mixup with my AMD TPM.

Hi ShowMeGirl1

To enable Secure Boot, your PC must have UEFI BIOS and you need to boot your PC into BIOS

Start your PC, on the manufacturers logo screen, there is generally an indication of how to boot your PC into Setup - usually it is F2, or F12 . .

On the Manufacturers Screen, repeatedly press that appropriate key, so your system boots into BIOS

If you do have UEFI, you will see the Secure Boot and legacy Boot options, turn off Legacy Boot (if applicable) and turn on Secure Boot

Also Please Note: to enable Secure Boot, your hard drive must be GPT, not MBR!

When I set the BIOS to UEFI boot, rebooting just takes me back to BIOS, and I can't seem to do what Microsoft is asking due to there being no menu item.
