To enable or disable Secure Boot on ASUS devices (including notebooks, desktops, and motherboards), the process generally involves entering the BIOS setup and adjusting Secure Boot settings. Here is a concise guide based on recent ASUS official support instructions:
- Power off the device completely.
- For notebooks and desktops, hold the [F2] key (or [Delete] for some desktop models) while pressing the power button to enter BIOS setup.
- Press [F7] or select "Advanced Mode" in the BIOS interface.
- Navigate to the "Boot" tab or screen.
- Select "Secure Boot."
- To enable Secure Boot, set "Secure Boot Control" to Enabled or set "OS Type" to "Windows UEFI mode." To disable, set "Secure Boot Control" to Disabled or "OS Type" to "Other OS."
- Save the configuration and exit by pressing [F10] and confirming the save.
- The device will restart with the new Secure Boot settings effective.
This procedure applies similarly for ASUS notebooks, desktops, and ASUS motherboards with UEFI BIOS. Secure Boot state changes according to these settings and may require restoring default Secure Boot keys if the state shows "Not Active." Additionally, disabling CSM (Compatibility Support Module) in the BIOS may be necessary to fully enable UEFI and Secure Boot. For detailed step-by-step visuals or model-specific instructions, ASUS support pages and tutorial videos provide comprehensive guidance. Secure Boot ensures the system boots only trusted software, important for security and Windows 11 compatibility. Let me know if detailed steps for a specific ASUS model or video guidance is preferred.
