Secure boot cannot be activated.
Secure boot cannot be activated.
Hey there. I have an Asus ROG motherboard with an AMD CPU, but FIFA 23 won’t launch because it shows an error about secure boot not being enabled. When I try to set it up in BIOS, it stays grayed out. I checked a guide here: https://www.technewstoday.com/how-to-ena...t-on-asus/, but it seems to be tailored for ROG boards and not my standard ASUS model. No security settings are available on my board, so I’m stuck. I really want to play the game I spent 60€ on. Any advice?
TPM 2.0 is activated on the CPU, allowing secure boot to function properly. This setup helped resolve the issue with playing Valorant when the same problem occurred.
CSM is activated? Yes, but that prevents Secure Boot from working. Secure Boot needs UEFI, not CSM (Legacy Support). If it was set up in Legacy BIOS, you might need to reinstall Windows completely.
Please let me know what you're referring to, so I can assist you better.
Activate CSM to check if secure boot can turn on when FTPM isn't running. Note that BIOS settings vary by manufacturer.
Check your motherboard manual for details. Each supplier adds its own interface to the BIOS setup, making it difficult to provide exact instructions.
Here’s a revised version of your instructions:
To activate Secure Boot in Windows 10, first disconnect all SATA and USB devices. Ensure the M.2 drive is the sole one installed. Next, navigate to the BIOS settings and locate the boot tab—disable the CSM option. Then, select the Secure Boot setting and choose another operating system instead of Windows UEFI. After that, clear the secure boot keys in the Key Management section. Insert a USB drive containing a UEFI bootable ISO of Windows 10. Press F10 to save the changes, exit, and restart the computer. Windows will begin installing on your NVME drive using its built-in driver. When the PC restarts, press F2 to return to the BIOS and adjust boot priority so Windows boots first. Revisit Secure Boot, setting it to UEFI mode, then reinstall the default secure boot keys via Key Management. Finally, press F10 again to complete the installation. Once finished, power off the PC and reconnect any remaining SATA drives. If this process resembles your previous setup, it may indicate an issue.
I have another issue. Now i cant even get to the bios. Like my motherboard logo doesnt come up nor the prompt to enter bios when i start up my pc
Absolutely, those adjustments can be challenging. I wouldn't modify anything unless I'm confident in my approach.
