Hey everyone! I'm trying to enable secure boot so I can play Valorant, and for that, I need to switch my BIOS from CSM to UEFI. However, every time I make that change, I get either a black screen or an endless loading screen. I've tried a bunch of different solutions but nothing seems to work. Interestingly, MSInfo32 indicates that my BIOS is in UEFI mode, but I don't think that's actually the case. Just to give you some context, my drivers are all set up in GPT, and I have TPM 2.0 since I'm running Windows 11. My motherboard is a B450 Tomahawk Max 2 and I have a Radeon 5700XT for graphics. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You might need to reinstall Windows. It sounds like your current Windows installation was set up with CSM/legacy mode, which often leads to booting issues after switching to UEFI.
Thanks for the heads up! I actually just reinstalled Windows 11 today. What steps do I need to follow to make sure it’s in UEFI mode this time?
