Yeah this is common. I had this issue on a different ASUS board. Even with Secure Boot enabled, it sometimes needs to be set to "Windows UEFI mode" specifically, not just enabled. Also, double-check that your drive is using GPT partitioning, not MBR.

I’m trying to upgrade my Windows 10 PC to Windows 11, but the PC Health Check app says my system doesn’t meet the requirements because Secure Boot isn’t enabled. I checked my BIOS (UEFI) and it *is* enabled, but I still get the error. Has anyone else run into this? My motherboard is an ASUS Z370, and I’m on the latest BIOS. What am I missing?

Can confirm. I had the same problem. On my ASUS board, I had to change the BIOS from "Other OS" to "Windows UEFI" mode for Secure Boot to actually work right. Let me know if that works.

Yeah, Agreed, clearing the TPM often does the trick. One more thing: double-check that your BIOS is fully updated, as an old version can sometimes cause this mismatch.

Yeah, that fixed it for me too. Also, try clearing your TPM in the BIOS after the switch—sometimes that's the final hiccup.

You could also try updating your motherboard's BIOS to the latest version, as that often resolves compatibility flags.

+1 Another option is to double-check that your TPM 2.0 is also enabled and detected correctly in Windows.

Can confirm. I had the same problem on my ASUS board. I had to go back into the BIOS and actually disable Secure Boot, save and exit, then re-enable it again for Windows to finally recognize it.
