Hi, I'm trying to switch my desktop to Windows 11 and need to turn on secure boot. After setting everything up—GPT drivers, UEFI, and disabling CSM—I enabled secure boot but it’s causing a black screen. I removed the CMOS battery and connected HDMI directly to the motherboard (Z390 gaming x-cf, rev. 1.0) to get back into BIOS and disable secure boot. My issue is figuring out how to make secure boot work again. I already have the newest BIOS from Gigabyte and the latest GPU drivers. I’m really hoping this works for me. Any advice would be super helpful.

I made a mistake by not installing the default factory keys for all required items, thinking I could use just the platform key. It was resolved by obtaining all the necessary keys.
