Product: Pavilion 15-cw1xxx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I have a HP Pavilion 15-cw1xxx laptop thats on windows 11. im trying to enable the ''secure boot'' option, but its greyed out and i cannot even go on it. i have seen that im supposed to deactivate '''Fast boot'' but i cannot find that option anywhere. i have also read somewhere to set an admin password and then press on load Hp default factory keys, but this option is also greyed out. Thats what it looks like when i go into BIOS mode:

Hello @168jen 

 

Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... and I would like to help you.

> At first glance, it looks like there is no Secure Boot available <

 

Try ...

 

(1) Update BIOS

HP Notebook System BIOS Update (AMD Processors)

F.48 Rev.A22.4 MBApr 27, 2022Download

Why should you install the update ?

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_4123786-2338478-16

Quote: "

Updating the BIOS is recommended as standard maintenance of the computer. It can also help resolve the following issues:

  • An available BIOS update resolves a specific issue or improves computer performance.
  • The current BIOS does not support a hardware component or a Windows upgrade.
  • HP Support recommends installing a specific BIOS update.

"

 

(2) Reboot

(3) Let BIOS be installed until it's completely done !

(4) Enter BIOS again -> send screenshots

(5) Please report your results

Hi, @168jen 

 

I explained the process to enable secure boot which works in most circumstances, below.

 

This includes where to disable the fast boot setting.  It's in Windows, not the BIOS.

 

Solved: Can't enable secure boot, not active (grayed out) - HP Support Community - 8380658
