Windows 10: Secure boot enabled but not active on gigabyte motherboard

I have a gigabyte B760m motherboard, secure boot is enabled but not active in bios, shows "off" in msinfo32. I've read certain threads that lead me to believe that secure boot mode - custom and then back to standard and "yes" when it asks "reset to factory?" should fix it, but im not sure if that could cause problems of any sort since bios isnt really something to play around with.

Enable Secure boot

Hello everyone, I've trying to enable secure boot in my pc in the BIOS ( I have a gigabyte motherboard), and I'm doing this because I want to play Valorant in my pc. I have the TPM 2.0 activated but the secure boot not. When I'm trying to change this in the Bios (Disabled the CSM and activated the secure boot), the pc doesn't do it. It re-boot again with the CSM activated. Can anyone help me, please?

 

Enable Secure Boot B550M DS3H AC

Hello Jose Luis Beltran Adame

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Can you tell me your motherboard model? Click Search on the taskbar and enter Device Manager.

To enable Secure Boot on your Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC motherboard, follow these steps:

1. Enter BIOS Setup:
   
   Restart your computer and press the Del key (or the key specified for your motherboard) repeatedly as soon as the system starts to boot, to enter the BIOS setup.
   
2. Navigate to the Boot Menu:
   
   Once in the BIOS, use the arrow keys to navigate. Look for a tab or section named Boot, Security, or something similar.
   
3. Enable Secure Boot:
   
   1. Inside the Boot or Security menu, find the Secure Boot option. It might be under a submenu, often labeled as Windows OS Configuration, Boot Mode Selection, or similar.
      
   2. Change the Secure Boot setting from Disabled to Enabled.
      
4. Change Boot Mode if Necessary:
   
   Make sure that the Boot Mode is set to UEFI and not Legacy or CSM (Compatibility Support Module). Secure Boot requires UEFI mode to be enabled.
   
5. Save and Exit:
   
   Save the changes and exit the BIOS. This is usually done by pressing the F10 key and selecting Yes to save the configuration and restart the computer.

If you cannot find the Secure Boot option, ensure that you have the latest firmware/BIOS version for your motherboard. Manufacturers sometimes update the BIOS to improve compatibility and add new features. You can check Gigabyte's official website for the latest BIOS version and instructions on how to update it.

In case the Secure Boot option still doesn't appear, it might be hidden or disabled due to another setting in the BIOS, such as a legacy boot mode or CSM compatibility mode being enabled. Make sure these are set correctly or disabled to allow Secure Boot to be enabled.

If you continue to face difficulties, consulting the motherboard's manual can provide more specific guidance, or contacting Gigabyte's support for assistance might be necessary.
