    System not booting with UEFI, unable to use Secure Boot


    I've been struggling with enabling Secure Boot with Windows 10. The issue is basically that when I set UEFI in the Windows-specific options of my BIOS, the system gets stuck at the spinning windows dots and MSI logo. It's fine when I go back to CSM in the BIOS.The PC was assembled and had Windows installed some time ago, all in CSM and "UEFI+Legacy" modes. I would like to avoid reinstalling the OS to not lose anything, unless it's necessary to do so.

    Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

    I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.
