Tech support for Ryzen 5 3400G experiencing issues with secure boot activation
I’ll add the bios pictures now. Please note, this might be more than most people want to read. Upcoming upgrades include a Ryzen 5 3400G, 32GB storage, and a GSKill Trident Z RGB 3600. I’m using a 32GB SSD (2x16GB) from Gigabyte B450. My setup began after a Monday Windows 10 update caused a black screen—task manager and CMD were accessible but not functional. I created a boot USB, rolled back updates, and eventually reformatted everything. The issue turned out to be the Windows Boot Manager on the 240GB drive causing slow boot times. After updating BIOS since mid-2020, I completed all necessary patches. I discovered the SSD firmware needed an update, which required reverting to BIOS version 61 before it worked. Security features like Secure Boot and TPM2.0 were enabled, but I encountered problems when trying to enable Secure Boot in BIOS—CSM was disabled, yet Windows still booted. I’ve checked fTPM, TPM2.0, and Block SID settings, though I’m unsure about other configurations. My experience has been frustrating, so I’m sticking with Windows 10 for now.
Your system might have been formatted using MBR. In that case, you'll need CSM to boot. If you still plan to install Windows 11, back up all crucial information and use a Windows 11 installation USB to set up cleanly after turning off CSM and enabling secure boot.
Absolutely. It's true. I just reinstalled all the games again.
There are methods to transfer files without erasing information: https://www.diskpart.com/gpt-mbr/convert...-loss.html However, I think a straightforward wipe and reinstall would be simpler and avoid more issues.
Sure, I understand. No data limit there, and I appreciate the assistance. It really helps when you're having trouble. Thanks!
