Is their anyway i can get the default platform keys? How can i find a platform key so i can enable Secure Boot since its currently stuck in setup mode until i enroll new products keys I tried flashing motherboard and cmos but that didnt work. i can't find any information on where i can find default pk. the only thing I've found is to restore defaults but that doesnt work.
 
Yes, its the correct mb but no its not what its asking me, its asking me to enroll new platform keys because i have 0 and when i set back to default pks their are none stored on the mb since i accidently restored to setup mode somehow deleting pks

keys can get enrollel within secure boot settings, bios message tells you that it can be done once youre in user mode

when you enable secure boot for first time, it will look like this:

its not active and its in setup mode, in this phase its waiting for operating system to configure it

press F10 and confirm and boot into windows, keys should get auto enrolled during boot, if they dont get enrolled after you boot windows with secureboot enabled, go back to bios, and switch from setup mode to user mode, then enroll default platform keys and try booting windows again


for Secure Boot to work, CSM needs to be disabled and TPM needs to be enabled.

yes i am completely aware of this but this doesnt work until i manually enroll new pks i cant move from setup mode to user mode because their are no pks that is why i asked if anyone knew where to find default pks
 
default pks are stored in bios firmware

on this bios page you will need to choose/enable that "provision factory defaults"

Hey man! I hope this help you solve your problem.

I just had the same situation and I tried everything or at least I thought. Do this steps and reply to me if it worked out for you

Step 1: Get yourself a usb and go to gigabytes website.

Step 2: Download latest Bios drivers from the website.

Step 3: Put the new drivers on the usb and restart your PC

Step 4: Inside Bios go to Q-FLASH and choose your usb and the new bios files (Reply if you need help with this)

Step 5: It will load a bit then restart your PC, Jump into Bios again after the automatic restart.

Step 6: Turn off CSM Support and Save & Exit Bios

Step 7: Jump into Bios again and turn on Secure boot and Save & Exit. Now you will see it says User instead of Setup.

Step 8: Log in on your pc and press windows + r and type "msinfo32" and look for Secure boot, it should be "On" after you done all of this steps.

Just reply if theres anything you think about and good luck!
