[SOLVED] Does Enabling Secure Boot Require an O/S Reinstall?

[blackop]

Thanks in advance.

I thought I had it enabled, but I was wrong. Did a fresh reinstall of Windows 11 last night. Was checking things out today, I noticed that Secure Boot was not enabled. I enabled it, and everything's fine. But do I need to reinstall Windows 11 after enabling Secure Boot?

If it helps, I looked in the bios and it had keys loaded. Everything boots fine. Just wondering if Secure Boot required it.

Again, thanks!

Windows 11
Asus Z-170 Pro Gaming
intel Core i-5 6500 @ 3.2 GHZ
8 GB DDR-400
Using integrated graphics
TPM 2.0 Chip, Asus

no, don't need a reinstall to turn it on.

win 11 also doesn't seem to care if you have secure boot on, I haven't had it on for 11 months now.

Thank God. I would hate to have to reinstall again. LOL

Still trying to figure out why it turned itself off.

Thanks! And nice rig!
