Hello everyone,
I built a new PC and wanted to skip some Windows 11 requirements by adding specific DWORD values. I enabled BypassTPMCheck and BypassSecureBoot. During installation, no drives were recognized, so I adjusted BIOS settings to disable certain values—possibly Intel Rapid Storage, CMS, or SecureBoot. This allowed Windows to detect the SSD, but since Valorant requires SecureBoot enabled, I changed the BIOS again. Now when I try to boot, a BSOD appears about an inaccessible boot device. I’ve reset the settings temporarily, but I’m curious if there’s a better solution.
The motherboard is an Asus Prime Z790P-WIFI.
Thank you all.

Ignored it! Figured it out by myself, I had turned VMD on so the system would recognize the drive for installation. Then I returned to BIOS, turned it off, went to Secure Boot settings, enabled Secure Boot keys, and switched back from Other OS to Windows UEFI. Done!
