Hi @securebootno 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query.

 

I understand how it feels , especially when Secure Boot was previously working and is now preventing you from playing games that require it. If your HP OMEN desktop is reporting that Secure Boot is disabled after a BIOS update, try the following steps in order:

 

Reset BIOS to defaults

  • BIOS 
  • Load Setup Defaults
  • Save
  • Re-enter BIOS
  • Enable Secure Boot again
  • Restore Factory Keys
  • Save and exit

Restore Secure Boot keys

In BIOS:

  • Security → Secure Boot Configuration
  • Look for one of these options:
  • Restore Factory Keys
  • Install Default Secure Boot Keys
  • Load HP Factory Default Keys
  • Select it, save changes, and restart.

Check Secure Boot status in Windows

  • Press Win + R, type:
  • msinfo32
  • Verify: BIOS Mode: UEFI
  • Secure Boot State: On
  • If it still says Off, Windows still doesn't recognize Secure Boot.

Take care and have an amazing day!

I'm an HP Employee.
