Windows 10: Secure Boot is not enabled on this machine.

Hi, I'm having trouble with this error since I can see in my Bios that I have secure boot on. Recently whenever I've been playing games I've been crashing with KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Mostly KMODE thoughI don't know if that's related to secure boot but I have zero clue on how to fix this. I've replaced the RAM, updated the bios and removed drivers I thought were causing the errors but it feels like an exercise in futility. Minidumps:ShareTmp

Enabled Encryption on Windows 10 Pro (HP machine) now it will not boot

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The' Secure Boot' settings may be toggled to 'Disabled', which may be causing this issue. You can check that from the steps below.

1. Power the device 'Off' and then back 'On'.
2. You should be able to find a message on the boot screen just before the manufacturer logo appears. You may need to press the 'F1', 'F2', or 'Delete' button, this is usually indicated on the boot screen.
3. Enter the BIOS settings, look for a tab called 'BOOT' and select that page.
4. Depending on the BIOS manufacturer, this page could be 'BOOT', 'ADVANCED', 'STARTUP', etc.
5. Look for a setting for the 'UEFI Secure Boot'. Each BIOS could have a different name for this. These are the keywords to look for: 'UEFI', 'Secure Boot', ‘Legacy Boot'.
6. Toggle the 'Secure Boot' setting to 'Enabled' and attempt to boot the machine.

After enabling Secure Boot, please try entering the recovery key and check if the issue still persists. If you still face the same issue, I
suggest you to post your query in TechNet
forums, where we have support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge.



Hope it helps.

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

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

 

Unable to enable Secure Boot (yet again)

Hi Sumit,

I did update the BIOS to the latest version (EFCN58WW).

I followed the same steps as before with no result. Secure Boot is still not getting enabled.

I went into the BIOS and enabled Secure Boot - did not work

Then I went into te BIOS again and Reset TPM Keys ("Restore Factory Keys" in my machine) - did not work

Kindly instruct further.
