Secure boot issue

Hello, feeling a bit desperate, I thought I could ask on a forum. Let me explain the problem. With the latest Valorant updates, you need to have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled on your PC to play. Personally, I have an MSI motherboard (B450 Gaming Plus Max) with a Ryzen 5 3600. So I went into my PC's BIOS and followed a tutorial to make sure I succeeded, but when I enable Secure Boot, my PC doesn't restart; it launches the automatic repair. After several attempts, I managed to enable it once or twice without it crashing (I couldn't tell you how), but when I check in msinfo32, it still shows that it's disabled.

As for other information I can provide, my PC was on Windows 10 when the problem occurred, but I switched to Windows 11 thinking it would solve the problem. My BIOS is updated, and I'm definitely on UEFI. I've tried disabling VBS, but that doesn't work. I also contacted MSI, and they told me that my card might be defective; however, I have other friends with MSI who have had the same problem, and I must admit I don't want to pay a lot for a fix that I could potentially resolve myself.

Thanks for your help, and I wish you a pleasant day! Best regards

    Hello,

    You activated it as follows:

    https://fr.msi.com/blog/How-to-Enable-TPM-on-MSI-Motherboards-Featuring-TPM-2-0

    If you have Windows started, open Powershell and enter this command:

     Get-Tpm

    In the start menu, launch 

     tpm.msc

    Take screenshots and post them here.

    Thank you

    So, is secure boot ENABLED in the BIOS?

    Can you post a screenshot of this PowerShell command:

     Get-Disk

    To see if you are in MBR or GPT

      Currently, Secure Boot is disabled and will not reactivate when I try to enable it; my PC goes into automatic repair and then states that it cannot repair itself!

      Thank you,

      in the BIOS, what mode is secure boot in?

      Standard or custom.

      Just try changing the mode without touching any other settings.

      I tried both modes, but neither works; it just resets to automatic repair.

      in the BIOS again, setting boot mode select.

      set it to UEFI and not legacy+UEFI

      For example, in my case I can set it to UEFI but with legacy support; in your case, it just needs to be UEFI and disable that legacy support.

      After that, I don't know what it's like.
