Yikes mine came back false.

Then you probably still have CSM(legacy BIOS for Win7, Linux, and non-UEFI USB ISO's) boot on, and TPM turned off.

To the best of my knowledge, Asus has made it a real pain to disable Secure Boot, but it is pretty straight forward.

To Disable Secure Boot:

1. In BIOS go to Secure Boot then go into Key Management
2. select "Save Secure Boot Keys"
3. Select your USB Drive
4. Save all 4 key types to the USB
5. Next Delete the Platform key (PK) only
6. Save and exit, Reboot into BIOS
7. Secure Boot should be disabled

To enable Secure Boot gain:

1. Go back to Key Management
2. Go to Load Default PK (Platform Key) and press enter
3. You will be given 2 options

• Yes will load the default key, Save and restart and Secure Boot should be enabled
• No should give you the option to load the keys you saved to the USB drive Select the USB drive Select the PK key and confirm it is a UEFI Secure Variable, confirm

Save and Exit, Secure boot should be enabled.

Hi,
Optimize default activates secure boot every time actually pretty annoying
