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.



Best Regards,

2 questions 1: keep seeing secure boot errors in event viewer. 2: do i have to update bios after uninstall/reinstall graphics drivers (to fix bsod errors)

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

Regarding your questions:

1. Secure Boot Errors:
   
   • The secure boot error you're seeing in the event viewer suggests that the Secure Boot feature is not enabled on your system.
     
   • Secure Boot is a security feature that helps ensure your system only boots using trusted software. If it's not enabled, you may see these types of errors.
     
   • To fix this, you can try enabling Secure Boot in your system's BIOS/UEFI settings. The exact steps may vary depending on your motherboard, but you should be able to find the Secure Boot option and enable it.
     
2. Updating BIOS after graphics driver uninstall/reinstall:
   
   • Generally, you don't need to update your BIOS after uninstalling and reinstalling your graphics drivers.
     
   • Updating the BIOS is typically only necessary when there's a specific BIOS update that addresses a known issue with your hardware or when you're updating to a newer BIOS version that adds new features or improvements.
     
   • Uninstalling and reinstalling graphics drivers is a common troubleshooting step and doesn't usually require a BIOS update.
     
   • Disclaimer: Microsoft provides no assurances and/or warranties, implied or otherwise, and is not responsible for the information you receive from the third-party linked sites or any support related to technology.
     
     If you are going to modify BIOS Settings, please back up all your personal files first to ensure you do not lose data.
     

Regarding your system information:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
  
• GPU: Radeon RX 580 series
  
• Windows OS/build: 19045.4651, Win 10 home 22H2, 64-bit
  

This configuration should be compatible with Windows 10 and should not have any issues with the Secure Boot feature, assuming your motherboard supports it.

If you continue to experience BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) errors even after the graphics driver uninstall/reinstall, there might be other underlying issues that need to be addressed. In that case, you may want to consider checking for any BIOS updates from your motherboard manufacturer, as they could potentially address any compatibility or stability concerns.

Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need further assistance with this problem.
