I'm using a B450M Aorus motherboard and trying to enable Secure Boot so I can play BF6. I've come across multiple sources saying that switching the Secure Boot mode to 'Custom' and selecting 'Restore Factory Keys' should do the trick. However, every time I attempt to enable Secure Boot, I receive the error "Secure Boot can be enabled when System in User Mode. Repeat operation after enrolling Platform Key (PK)." Additionally, I'm not seeing the 'User' mode option, just 'Setup'. Are there any additional settings I need to adjust or could this be an issue with my BIOS version? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

BIOS versions can definitely affect functionality. Make sure you're running the latest BIOS update from the manufacturer's website since newer versions often fix bugs related to Secure Boot. If you're up to date and still facing issues, see if there's an option related to 'Fast Boot' that you can disable as it sometimes interferes with changes in Secure Boot settings.
It sounds like you're doing everything right, but some motherboards have a quirky way of requiring the Platform Key (PK) to be enrolled first. Try going into your BIOS and look for an option to enroll the PK before switching to User mode. Also, double-check if there's an option requiring 'Secure Boot Support' to be enabled elsewhere in your BIOS settings. Sometimes it helps to reset your BIOS to factory settings and start fresh before making changes.
I had the same issue! After enrolling the PK, I was finally able to switch to User mode without errors. Just make sure to look for any hidden settings; sometimes they can be easy to overlook!
Thanks for the tip! I'll check on that BIOS update and see if adjusting Fast Boot helps. Appreciate it!
