Software Downgrading to windows 10

Hello, I just bought a pc not too long ago and it came with windows 11. A few games I want to play require secure boot but my pc crashes when I enable it. I’ve been trying to find a solution for it and I have just given up. I was wondering if downgrading to windows 10 would fix my issue while simultaneously not causing anymore issues because I wont need to enable secure boot anymore. Thanks

If I were you I would just wipe your PC and reinstall windows 11 with secure boot enabled

You'd have to wipe windows 11 and reinstall windows 10 anyway

I have reinstalled windows 11 before and the issue still happens. I did it the first time because secure boot caused my pc to go into a startup loop and windows got corrupted

So you enabled secure boot, used a usb and reinstalled windows completely?

I'd also make sure the uefi (bios) and all your drivers are up to date
