You could also try updating your motherboard's BIOS to a newer version, as that sometimes unlocks greyed-out Secure Boot options.

+1 Yeah, that's a solid suggestion. Also, make sure you're in Advanced Mode in your ASUS BIOS to see all the available settings.

This happened to me on an old ASUS board. I had to go in and clear the TPM security keys first before Secure Boot would let me enable it. Hope that helps.

You could also check if there's a BIOS update for your ASUS motherboard, as that sometimes unlocks the Secure Boot option.

+1 Yeah, that's a solid suggestion. Also, if you're using a legacy hard drive setup, you might need to switch your BIOS to UEFI mode first before Secure Boot becomes available. Good luck!

This. You could also check if there's a BIOS update for your ASUS motherboard, since newer firmware sometimes unlocks that option.

+1 You could also try resetting your BIOS to factory defaults, as that can sometimes make the Secure Boot option available.
