I've tried to install Windows 11 a while ago and asked me to turn on safe boot option in BIOS, after I turned on that option my PC wont show image, the PC starts normally but cant boot in windows or show image.I found that I can boot in backup bios a while ago and everything worked reinstalled Win 10 and reseted everything and work for a while. But since then I cant boot in my primary BIOS and I need to force booting in my Backup BIOS which is very frustrating and time consuming.And also when I disconnect something from my PC like mouse or keyboard or anything after I turn off my PC and restarting I need to force boot backup BIOS again. Now I cant even force boot my backup bios or I forgot how. Can somebody help me through this infernal pain ?
Thanks

Steps to enable (all AMD-based Gigabyte mobos) Secure Boot. Make sure fTPM is enabled. Make sure CSM is disabled. In Secure Boot, select custom under Secure Boot Mode, Select Restore Factory Keys, Say YES to reset without saving.

When BIOS restarts, access BIOS and change Secure Boot Mode back to Standard and then Yes to restart without save.


As for dual bios, if you are forcing it to use 2nd one, what it actually should be doing is flashing a copy of it onto bios 1 and restarting PC using bios 1. Bios 2 is only used for recovery purposes.

When starting up the PC, press "Del" to enter BIOS setting and then press F8 to enter Dual BIOS setting. https://www.gigabyte.com/Support/FAQ/81

you might find you need to update the bios...

you might find you need to update the bios to F5, it might fix the problem as I think it replaces bios 2 at same time. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B460M-DS3H-rev-10/support#support-dl-bios

updating bios removes need to do the secure boot steps above as it sets them as defaults.
