Hello,

 

My laptop is currently imaged with Windows 10 - 64bit with UEFI enabled. The SSD is formatted in GPT format. I want to now enable secure boot, but when I do, I get a message saying "Selected Boot Image did not Authenticate". I thought that if my SSD was formatted in GPT, and UEFI was already turned on I could enable secure boot. I know I can't if it's formatted with MBR or Legacy is still turned on.

 

Any reason why I can't do this?

FYI, the fix for this was to update the BIOS.

Thanks Kiko, but that doesn't really answer my question regarding the specific issue I'm having. Any other suggestions why this is happening? I'm able to turn on secure boot on other machines without this error.

This is also now happening with an HP ProBook 6570b. Any idea why only certain models experience this issue?
