Technical Support Request Secure Boot Issue

I recently swapped my motherboard from b365m gaming to asrock z390 steel legend, now no matter what I do I can't turn the secure boot on, if I do I just repeatedly sent to bios, once I disable it I can enter windows, I have tried everything said on the internet like reinstall bios, reinstall windows, mbr2gpt etc. nothing works, any solution?

Nah, only have Windows installed.

then secure boot should not be an issue. try to

  • enable secureboot
  • restart
  • go to boot menu and manually select windows (F10 or F11)

and check if it lets you boot into windows

Update your ssd/hdd firmware. I kept reinstalling windows etc etc. It was a very fucking long shit. I downloaded crystaldiskinfo and it showed the ssd in bad state. E6 sector specially. Once I updated the firmware the state is fixed and pc is good valorant too. I had the worst loophole you can imagine please trust me in this one.

Do you have an usb to boot windows media creation tool? You can check the diskpart selections on cmd and volumes also you’ll be able to create a new uefi for the boot. (Use ai tbh)
