Can't Activate Secure Boot Windows 11

About a month ago or 2 I upgraded to windows 11. At the time when I used the Windows upgrade tool it said I needed to enable Secure boot and TPM 2.0 and after watching some videos I managed to enable them (or so I thought) and upgraded my windows. Than after a month I try and play 'Valorant and it tells me that I need to enable secure boot and TPM 2.0 which was very confusing. If I go to system information the 'Secure boot state' is disabled. So I went in my BIOS and tried to turn it on. IN the secure boot page in the BIOS for the OS Type I had Other OS but if I try change it to 'Windows UEFI mode' my Pc doesnt reboot anymore. I do not know how to fix this any ideas.

    The Bios should be set to Windows UEFI and the CSM disabled for Windows 11. If your system doesn't boot that way, confirm you are booting to the correct Windows Boot Manager and not the drive it is on.

    A picture of your Disk Management window may help us see if your configuration is correct.

    Ok back from the holidays.

    I think this is what you mean with picure of the tabs. I only put these 3 as I think they are the only relavant ones.

    Hello Dave,

    I actually expected it to take way longer to get a reply and therefore I posted the quesirono just before leaving for the holidays. So at the moment I cannot send any screenshots. Thank you very much anyway for replying so quickly and I will send the information as soon as I’m back

    Hi TheJacker05

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    That setting in BOS that is set to 'Other OS' is usually correct, can you please provide a photo of each for the tabs you have available in your BIOS, so I can see all settings you have
