    Why is my secure boot disabled


    So I want to turn it on because of the game Fortnite,so it says in system info that it's unsupported, my mother board is gigabyte b450m and when I go to my bios and I try to turn it on it then doesn't recognize my boot options/drives.

    Cannot Disable Secure Boot

    In BIOS, there is an option to disable/enable Secure Boot.

    Whenever I disable it then go to boot windows, it tries and fails to boot about 5 times, then goes to a windows screen saying something along the lines of 'Cannot load windows, restart or troubleshoot'.

    Troubleshooting does not work, nor does restarting.

    When I switch from UEFI to Legacy in boot list options, it simply says that there was no OS detected.

    Is there a tool or something that I can use to disable it instead?

    TL;DR: Cannot Disable Secure Boot because if I do I cannot boot to windows.

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

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