How to enable Secure Boot in Windows 11?

Good evening everyone, Exactly two days ago (11/20/2022) I purchased the new Fifa23 by EpicGames, and did the normal game installation process. Upon finishing this process, the game opened in Origin (base application of the EA Sports account), I was super happy with my new acquisition, until an error message appears on my screen "Secure boot is not activated".

At first I didn't quite understand what it meant, and searching, I managed to find some news. I am a Windows 11 user, and I have the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming i3 Notebook, accessing my System Information, I noticed that the "Safe Boot Status" icon is "Disabled".

Watching some tutorials, I went to my BIOS, and I had the wonderful surprise, that even when I enable Secure Boot, the Secure Boot Status remains as Disabled.

I need someone's help, could you help me?

    I already played games like Valorant, but when I had only Windows 10 installed...after I made the change to 11, this problem started.

    I'm Brazilian, I ended up checking the Secure Boot option, where it says disabled.

    Have you tried the Restore Factory Keys option - save and exit - that should set the Platform Mode to User Mode (yours is likely Setup Mode)

    Then go back in and enable Secure Boot - Secure Boot Mode should be Standard Mode - save and exit

    ?

    So my friend, I've tried to do this a few times, and even then it doesn't re-enable this option. That's why I'm begging for mercy haha

    Secure boot is one of the Windows 11 primary requirements. If you're able to use Windows 11, this means Secure boot is enabled. You need to check with the game vendor and see how this issue can be resolved by removing the secure boot message

    Hi Pedro, try going into the BIOS and choose the Restore Factory Keys option, then enable Secure Boot, save and exit.
