I'm trying to play Faceit again after taking a long break, but its anti-cheat keeps reporting that Secure Boot is disabled. Secure Boot is enabled in my BIOS, yet Windows System Information still shows it as disabled. I've already disabled CSM, changed the OS type, deleted and recreated Secure Boot keys, reinstalled Windows, updated drivers, installed all Windows updates, and tried various fixes. My system uses an Intel i5-9600KF, ASUS Prime H310M-K motherboard, GTX 1660, and 16 GB of RAM. The system drive is formatted as GPT, and the BIOS is fully up to date. What else could cause Windows to report Secure Boot as disabled?

Secure Boot only works when the system is booting in pure UEFI mode from a GPT-formatted drive. Make sure CSM is disabled, Windows Boot Manager is selected as the first boot option, and the default Secure Boot keys are installed. If the drive is already GPT and the BIOS is current, the remaining issue may be the motherboard’s Secure Boot configuration or key state.
The drive is already GPT, CSM is disabled, and the BIOS has the latest version. I also tried reinstalling the Secure Boot keys, but Windows still reports Secure Boot as disabled.
