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.
