[Miketoobluz]

Hello, 'have somehow stopped amd secure boot program so OS wont boot, and secure boot it won't enable , I get popup that says " secure boot can be enabled when system is in user mode. Repeat oper.after enrolling platform key(pk)
Asrock has been slow to respond

You should be able to enable that in the BIOS - https://www.asrock.com/support/faq.asp?id=531

I found this on Reddit, sounds like it might help? Just a stab in the dark though.

From the comments:

If people are using ASRock Phantom Gaming UEFI, you have to go to Security -> Secure Boot -> Key Management -> select Platform Key (PK) and then generate.

Then go back to Secure Boot -> Install default Secure Boot keys -> and then you can enable Secure Boot.

I reset the uefi bios defaults and secure boot enabled in a snap, but the OS didn't start. My asrock b550 extreme 4 dr.debug ended its test and pad went dark. I think that means pass, but the OS won't come up .I think that means the ssd is kaput, but it still shows in bios storage page. Previously I temp.loaded win.11 os from stick and screen gave the " this computer does not meet minimum requirements...., what you see when you enabled amd secure boot , so I'm led to believe the ssd with the OS is at fault. Yes?

Hard to say with the information given.

I advise to start off by listing your full system specs. Then state whether this is a new build that was previously working or an old build that suddenly started to have problems

windows 11 doesn't require Secure boot to be on, it just requires PC has ability to turn it on. I have used win 11 for 4 years now with no secure boot on.
The only requirements it might need you to have is the TPM on. Its likely you just need to enable that.

A B550 should be able to enable secure boot. Have you got the latest BIOS (that isn't a beta)

A bad drive can still show in the BIOS. Do you have another PC you can test it in?

What are specs of PC?

A year ago I finished this moderate game/edit pc with asrock b550 extreme 4MB,ryxen 5800x3d and 32 gb ram withe the old gtx750 and the old psu.
On start up win. 11 gave the " this computer does not minimum requirements....", but sometimes various error messages. I upgraded the psu to 850 watts.
I still would get the minimum requirements and win. wouldn't download from the stick.
After conversation with asrock tech I was able to enable secure boot,And the very next start win.11 loaded an ran.
Additionally I had installed a tpm 2.0 on the motherboard.
In my experience the OS didn't run until the AMD secure boot was enabled

After reseting the defaults in uefi.bios I easily enabled AMD secure boot thanks

as long as that part is fixed now, that is main thing

Unfortunately no

 

[Colif]

well, as far as BIOS is concerned... if Nvme is in fact dead, that is another matter.

No, I believe it's a sata 2tb ssd that is at fault. I plan a clean install of OS on the m2 nvme. Better idea?

 

[Colif]

i would have had windows on nvme anyway but yeah, that should work.

If forums made it easier I would have merged both your threads together.
