Windows isn't detecting secure boot activation.
Windows isn't detecting secure boot activation.
I've faced challenges upgrading to Windows 11 with TPM and secure boot. The TPM works fine, but the secure boot remains problematic. I've adjusted the BIOS settings multiple times—disabling and re-enabling it—but it still doesn't resolve the issue. I also reset everything to default keys, which didn't help. I'm seeking advice from others since I'm hesitant to modify the BIOS extensively. Thanks ahead! For context: AMD Ryzen 5 2600, GTX1060 6GB, A320M-HDV R3.0 motherboard.
The A320 boards were poorly constructed with minimal effort in the BIOS, which might explain why the secure boot feature didn’t work properly. To check this, I could attempt to boot into a Pop_OS installer or another Linux distribution that doesn’t support Secure Boot. If it boots without issues, Secure Boot is likely faulty on that unit. If it encounters errors related to the kernel, the problem probably lies with Windows. Notably, AMD is experiencing significant performance drops with Windows 11, reportedly around 20% slower. For reliability, it’s best to avoid Windows 11 and stick with Windows 10 until more stability is confirmed.
I saw this before, but I mostly just needed it organized so it works smoothly once support is complete. I could definitely give it a shot, just in case it’s not my motherboard—I really prefer buying a new one myself!
