Question about secure boot?
Question about secure boot?
Here’s a revised version of your message:
Could anyone assist me with this? My main concern is related to Call of Duty and the new secure boot and TPM features. The TPM works fine, but the secure boot process isn’t functioning properly. To start, I go into BIOS, then BOOT, disable CSM, which unlocks SECURE BOOT. However, I encounter an error when trying to enable secure boot—it displays a message saying “Disable the CSM in setup. Repeat operation after reboot to ensure UEFI video GOP DRIVE.” After rebooting as instructed, I still can’t access BIOS; it immediately locks me out and only unlocks when I enter my password. I’ve tried updating the BIOS, checking for the latest version, and even reset the computer completely, but everything remains empty. The only way to get back is by removing the BIOS battery and letting it reset, though this causes CSM to re-enable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated?
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
First include the make and model of your motherboard, then include the BIOS version you're currently on for said motherboard.
Z390 aorus pro Wi-Fi, i7 9700k, 32gb ram 1080ti, 1tb m.2 storage, plus a standard hard drive.
I’ve attempted a complete reset and even updated Windows 11, but never needed secure boot until recently for Call of Duty.
With these specifications I’m currently running an F14A BIOS update since June 11, 2025.
1. Turn off CSM
2. Turn off Fast Boot
3. Save your settings and restart into BIOS
4. Activate Secure Boot and register default platform keys.
Only after this will Secure Boot be fully activated.
If you cannot access BIOS after disabling CSM,
load into Windows and select the advanced startup option.

I’ve attempted everything you suggested, but nothing works regardless of what I do. After turning off CSM support, the secure boot appears and triggers an error when trying to enable it again. I’ve disabled CSM completely but lost full access to BIOS. The only way back is to reset by removing the battery. I also reinstalled the BIOS update, ensured my graphics drivers were current, yet even with integrated graphics it still loads me directly into password entry mode. Fast boot remains disabled.
