Why can't I turn on secure boot?

I've been trying to activate secure boot in the bios to play Valorant, but no matter what I've tried it doesn't work. I've disabled CSM support and made sure my motherboard isn't on the legacy setting, so not sure what else I should do. I'm considering updating the bios, but not completely sure. If anyone has some troubleshooting tips that I could use that would be great. My motherboard is a Gigabyte h610 S2H, my CPU being an Intel 12400F if that matters. My motherboard says I should be able to open secure boot after disabling CMS support and setting one of the options to Windows 10 in the bios, so not sure what's up. Let me know if I need to put any more info in order to help solve this problem.

    Open the Start Menu, type tpm.msc and press enter. Please, share the information in the window.

    Open the Start Menu, type msconfig and press enter.

    On the System Information window, what does it show on Secure Boot State?

    Thanks for responding, but I don't see Trusted Computing as an option in my Settings. Is there any other way to check? I am on Windows 11.

    Hi,

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    On Windows 11, TPM is required by Vanguard (Valorant anti-cheat) to run Valorant. Make sure it is activated on your UEFI BIOS, you can find it at Settings > Trusted Computing.
