So one day when I turned on my PC instead of loading up windows it took my to the start up screen or whatever it's called and it gave me two errors the first was the Secure Boot Violation on the smaller screen then a Boot Device Not Found error on the second bigger pop-up it took me to when I pressed ok on the first screen. I tried many times to troubleshoot it and even factory reset the PC and me and my friends attempted many different things to try and fix it. At first I thought the problem was that I just needed to redownload windows on the PC but when I attempted to access the windows boot manager in boot menu it took me to the same secure boot violation but instead when I pressed the ok button on that screen it just took me back to the screen again and then when I pressed ok the second time it worked and took me back to the boot device not found screen. I also tried resetting my BIOS settings but when i pressed load setup defaults in boot setup when I click yes instead of resetting it doesn't do anything it just goes back to the screen and I've tried many things and I just have no clue what to do because I have many games on this PC and I haven't been able to play with my friends on it for a while. If anyone has any ideas or knows how to fix it I would be extremely grateful. And I would be happy to provide more pictures to assist anyone in figuring out the problem. Thanks a lot.

Greetings @NoodleMan123
It looks like your PC has a Secure Boot problem and possibly a TPM version firmware problem.
So your PC will not be able to play games requiring Secure Boot on. And I'm guessing your PC may have a TPM version problem. Some games will flag older TPM versions.
The only workaround I can suggest at this time would be to: enter the BIOS (EFI), disable Secure Boot, and enable Legacy support.
Windows should load when Secure Boot is off. But some games will flag your PC.
It looks like you have an Intel MB.
HP has placed AMD TG01-2xxxa PCs into "Legacy" status. This means no future BIOS updates are in the pipeline.
I don't know if HP has also placed older Intel MBs into Legacy status.
You can periodically check this HP Site for future BIOS updates that might fix the Secure Boot problem and the possible TPM version problem.
Regards
