Reset broke secure boot

I don't know if you fixed this problem. I checked my BIOS and noticed that Boot Manager was missing. Used msconfig32 to review system info. I checked my partition type.

I ran mbr2gpt /validate /allowFullOS

and mbr2gpt /convert /allowFullOS

reagentc /Info Source: Windows Central

reagentc /enable Source: Windows Central

I rebooted the PC and secure boot was on.

My drivers are current and I have the latest BIOS update which is a beta version from October of last year. It has not been updated since then. As far as my video card goes I could use a tool like DDU to scrub everything clean but I doubt that will help with the UI errors. More importantly, I can put in a support ticket with MSI and see if they can help me fix the secure boot, but I don't think my motherboard is under warranty anymore, and frankly it isn't their problem because it's Windows that wrecked it. There wasn't any user error involved and now I have to keep secure boot off and run my system more exposed to rootkits and malware for no good reason.

Someone at Microsoft needs to instruct me on how to correctly re-enroll the drive in secure boot, which somehow was changed by the reset, maybe because of the upgrade from Home to Pro edition. It's not something for which you can just easily find documentation, and Microsoft doesn't make it clear how to get technical support. I paid them $100 and got a broken secure boot in return.

Thank you for the informations.

I suggest you check the manufacturer's website for a BIOS update.

About Nvidia drivers, install Geforce Experience to keep them up to date.

Neither SFC nor DISM report any problems. As I mentioned I have just reset the PC, so I don't think a system restore is going to do much. I did a full reset deleting all files and a cloud download. Immediately after it finished downloading and restarted a boot loop ensued. Luckily I knew that it was most likely a problem with secure boot and disabled it, but if I had been a user with less knowledge it would have been a big ordeal. A routine reset should not corrupt a boot. I have always had secure boot enabled since I bought this PC and never had an issue until Windows 11. Luckily I am still able to boot normally without it, which is surprising to me because I thought my edition of Windows 11 required secure boot.

It does not display in the Windows security settings at all, only the core isolation and TPM, along with the message Standard hardware security is not supported, so I'm not sure how any solution can be found in the OS rather than the BIOS or boot partition.

Bugs are also persisting through the reset, so they must be driver or hardware related I presume. For example, the quick settings panel often crashes and refuses to display. In the past, when doing selective boots as you suggest I have locked myself out of WIndows. This was when I selected "Diagnostic boot" in msconfig and had an online Microsoft account. Presumably the services needed for the online login did not load and my PIN was rejected. That is also a dangerous issue that needs to be addressed. I have not done it the way mention with disabling only third-party services though, and I now have a local account, so I don't think the danger of lockout is present with local accounts.

For this bug I will also completely uninstall my Nvidia drivers and do a clean install since I think this might be related to the video card.

The secure boot issue I have no idea how to address. The secure boot menu in BIOS displays the message, Vendor keys: Modified. I'm not sure if this always displayed though. The default factory keys are loaded though.

Debugger output for quick settings crash:

-Hi, my name is Claudeir, I'm happy to help you!

To clarify, your PC turns on normally, does the problem only happen with safe boot?

Let's do a few steps, test if it resolved after each one:

-Right click on start, run PowerShell(admin) or Command Prompt(admin)

Copy and paste the following command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

and press Enter.(Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete).

After you see a message saying "The operation completed successfully", copy and paste this command:

sfc /scannow

and press Enter.

Wait for a message that says "Verification 100% complete".

So add this command:

chkdsk /f /r /b

Confirm with "Y" and restart the computer for this last step.

-Clean startup:

Clean boot is for you to determine if a background program is interfering with your system or to optimize your system load.

For clean boot follow the steps below:

On the Desktop, press the Windows + R keys simultaneously to open Run;

In the Run Menu type msconfig command and click OK to open System Configuration;

On the Services tab, check Hide All Microsoft Services and Click Disable All;

Click Apply and OK;

Restart the computer.

NOTE:This procedure disables all third-party services and programs. You can later, if the problem is solved in this way, enable the programs and services that will start with Windows, selectively, instead of keeping them all disabled. If the problem returns after activating the startup of a specific service or program, the problem is exactly in the startup of this software and it is recommended to remove it.

-If necessary, perform a recovery keeping your personal files to repair all system files:

Windows+i> system> recovery> Restore this computer.

You can keep your files.

-Feel free to leave your opinion, marking as answered if the answer helped, or leaving more details so that we can continue the service, this is very important to us.

Graciously,

Claudeir
