Product: HP Gaming Pavilion - 15-cx0008nq
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hello, I've encountered an error about the 'secure boot' feature. I need it enabled for a game and when i enter the bios i cant enable it. I know that the motherboards are kind of "locked" for optimization features and not destroying anything on it, but i need to enable that feature and i dont know how. Maybe i need to get to the "advanced bios setum". Can someone help?

Hi:

 

If W11 is installed in UEFI mode, see if performing the steps below allows you to enable Secure Boot:

 

Step 1. Go into the BIOS and Load HP Factory Default Keys and see if Secure Boot becomes available.

 

Step 2. If it does not than go into the operating system and disable “Fast Boot” (Steps below).

Step 3. go back into your BIOS and try Load HP Factory Default Keys.

 

Step 4. enable Secure Boot at this point.
