Enabling Secure Boot on Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 Rev 1.5
« on: August 18, 2024, 02:17:22 pm »
Hi folks,

I am trying to enable secure boot within the BIOS of the Gigabyte b550 Aorus Elite V2 Rev 1.5 so that it appears as 'ON' within the Windows 11 system information section. I have taken the following steps:

In the BOOT Menu


Disabled CSM

This then enables Secure Boot > enabled Secure Boot

Next Secure Boot Mode  Custom >  Custom to Standard

Next Install factory defaults > Yes

I then get a message stating ' Secure Variable Update is locked down'

Has anyone else come across this issue with this motherboard? If so, how did you resolve this issue?

Cheers,

UPDATE

The issue was with the beta BIOS for this board, so I will wait for next one to appear before updating.

Hi, This is another update having received some more information from the good folks at Gigabyte Support as the matter is now solved. I was advised to take the following steps:

1 Use Qflash to update the BIOS to FGb
2 Disable CSM and then save this and then boot back into the BIOS
3 Set the Secure Boot Mode to Custom
4 Restore Factory Keys > Yes
This will then take you into Windows and then check System information, you will see that Secure Boot is on. Therefore, the FGb BIOS is fine it is just that with the previous BIOS, FF, I didn't have to do this.

I hope this helps others and thanks again to Gigabyte Support in the UK and Taiwan.

Thanks,
