I just turned on secure boot on my system and disabled CSM. My Windows installation is using UEFI, and the drive is formatted with GPT. After doing this, I ran into some major issues when booting up. My secondary monitor (connected via HDMI to the motherboard) displays everything fine, but my primary monitor is acting up. I now can't select 'DP1' in my monitor settings, and I can only access those settings after unplugging the monitor. Also, I can't seem to open the full settings menu anymore, even when the monitor isn't connected to my PC. My monitor is a Samsung Odyssey G7, and no matter which button I press, I only get the part that lets me select the display port. I figured out that switching to DP2 instead of DP1 fixed the issue, but now I'm worried I messed something up permanently. Any ideas on what might have gone wrong?

I had a similar issue with my RX 5700 XT when I enabled secure boot to get ReBAR working. It seemed to recognize the card as a new device. Luckily, everything returned to normal after I used DDU to uninstall my drivers and then reinstalled them. I recommend trying that to see if it clears things up for you!
Looks like you’re not alone; a lot of people are having similar problems trying to get things right with secure boot. I’d suggest making sure your drivers are up to date after checking your settings. Plus, remember that some new motherboards come with secure boot enabled by default, so it's easy to run into issues if you've had your setup like this for a while. Don’t stress too much; it sounds like a fixable issue!
Seems like everyone’s in a panic trying to get things to work with this beta. Secure boot can be tricky! Just stay calm – make sure everything is properly connected and updated, and hopefully, it should work itself out soon.
Great, thank you for the response! Will just uninstalling and redownloading through the Nvidia app be enough?
