Hi, I just installed the insider build for Windows 11 but the installer said secure boot was disabled. I thought I had it turned on in my BIOS. My motherboard is an Asrock Pro 4 B350 and I’m using the latest BIOS version 6.40. I have a photo showing the settings that seem to enable secure boot after generating a key. When trying to upgrade, I see these specific messages: “Did I enable secure boot incorrectly?” and “Does my motherboard lack this feature?” Also, if you think this is more appropriate for hardware discussions, please let me know.

Restart the Health Check utility and execute it with admin privileges.

I attempted this, but the message remained unchanged. Appreciate the advice.

Hello, here’s my latest update about the situation. I didn’t realize that enabling secure boot in Windows required a full OS reinstallation. Once that was done, I was able to install the early development version of Windows 11.
