    Hi everyone,I have a serious issue with my CSL all-in-one PC running Windows 11.I went into the UEFI firmware settings via advanced startup options to enable Secure Boot. After restarting, the system no longer boots.Here’s what happens when I turn it on:The screen just shows color cycles red, green, blue, white, etc.I can’t get into the BIOS/UEFI — pressing Del, F2, ESC, etc. does nothingI already removed and reinserted the CMOS battery — no changeI tried using a wired keyboard Logitech K200 but still can’t get a responseIt seems like the system is stuck before even reaching POST, possibly

    enable secure boot

    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!

    Enabling Secure Boot Results in Black Screen

    Yesterday I updated my Windows 10 to Windows 11 and I tried to play Valorant but Valorant was not opening because of an error saying "Enable Secure Boot"

    I enabled secure boot but after Enabling Secure Boot my PC showed a black screen on startup.

    I didn't know what to do, so please help me resolve this issue and tell me how to enable Secure Boot and not get a black screen problem again to play Valorant.

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?
