    Having issues enabling Secure Boot in BIOS


    I have been trying all day to make sure my PC can upgrade to Windows 11. TPM 2.0 is setup. My boot drive is GPT. It looks like this UEFI thing is on (noob here). But when I try to disable the CSM support and enable secure boot, I get this error: “WARNING: CSM is Loaded! Disable the CSM in Setup. Repeat operation after Reboot to ensure UEFI Video (GOP) driver is operational” I found an old topic on this same error on this forum. But I couldn’t find the actual fix, if there ever was one. I just don’t understand how it says CSM is operational, if I turned the CSM support off in the previous step.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    CSM (Compatibility Support Module) does not need to be disabled to install Windows 11.

    Secure Boot does not need to be enabled to install or use Windows 11, only that your hardware supports it.

    This is so weird. So the only reason I messed with the Secure Boot was because I had an X next to Secure Boot on the PC Health Check. So apparently I did something right in the past few hours, as running it again it has a check next to “This PC supports Secure Boot.” :) Thanks for setting me straight!
