Has anyone else hit a wall with Secure Boot during the Win11 upgrade? My PC meet?

This happened to me. I had to go back into the UEFI and change it from "Other OS" to "Windows UEFI" mode for it to finally register. Let me know if that works.

I had the same problem. After switching that UEFI mode, I also had to clear the TPM from the security settings before the check passed.

This happened to me too. I finally got it by disabling Secure Boot, saving and exiting the BIOS, then going right back in and re-enabling it.

Can confirm. I had the same problem. What worked for me was clearing the TPM in the BIOS after re-enabling Secure Boot.

This happened to me too. I had to change the Secure Boot mode from "Standard" to "Custom" and then back to "Standard" to finally get Windows to recognize it. Good luck!

Yeah, that switch back and forth often forces a proper reset. Also, make sure you save and exit the BIOS completely, not just restart from within it.

Same here. I had the same problem. For me, I had to clear the TPM in my BIOS after enabling Secure Boot before Windows finally recognized it.
