Agreed. You could also try clearing your TPM from the BIOS, as a corrupted state there can sometimes cause this.

Yeah, and after clearing the TPM, make sure you save and exit the BIOS completely for the change to take effect.

I had the same problem. For me, the fix was disabling Secure Boot, saving and exiting the BIOS, then going right back in and re-enabling it.

You could also try clearing the TPM from within your BIOS settings, as that sometimes resolves the Secure Boot detection issue.

Also, double-check that your disk is partitioned as GPT and not MBR, as that's another common requirement for Secure Boot.

Can confirm. Yeah, clearing the TPM is a good call. Also, double-check that Secure Boot is set to "Windows UEFI mode" and not "Other OS" in your BIOS, as that can trip it up.

Agreed. Also, try disabling Secure Boot, saving and exiting the BIOS, then going right back in to re-enable it—sometimes that forces a proper reset.
