System Information says that Secure Boot State is unsupported.


Thanks David.:confused:
 
Make sure the drive Windows is installed on is formatted as a GPT disk.
Peripherals menu > Enable AMD CPU fTPM.
BIOS menu > Disable CSM.
BIOS menu > Enable secure boot.

Secure boot won't show up if CSM (Compatibility Support Module) is enabled and if you disable CSM while the drive Windows is installed on is MBR you won't be able to boot into Windows.

This any help?

Not sure about the mbr2gpt part, never knew it existed.

Updated to W11 myself ~ 10 days ago, it looks a bit different and agree with teenwolf about no difference in speed.
 
But would CSM still be enabled by default on recent boards? Doesn't hurt to check though.

We did use CSM back in the day at a previous workplace where the OSD solution only supported MBR, and I'd totally forgotten about it.

It is on my X570 Gigabyte board (after a reset or BIOS update) so i assume they default to that on all their boards.
