Awesome, glad to hear you sorted it out. The secure boot thing can be a real pain
to sort out. It almost always requires a complete reinstall like you ended up doing.

Here's hoping it stays working now ]]> Sun, 24 May 2026 23:09:27 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113521&PID=201538&title=z390-taichi-secure-boot-issue#201538 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113521&PID=201537&title=z390-taichi-secure-boot-issue#201537 Author: Yesoooh

ok ok i got it to work now!!

i installed windows media to a USB drive, set my bios to default. then booted from the USB drive then deleted all the partitions off all my SSD and NVME and installed windows fresh.

installed all the window updates after i booted in, downloaded all my app and games, went back into bios turned off CSM and turned on PTT, saved and exit

went back into bios turned on secure boot, installed default keys on custom saved and exit.

everything is active and i am on my desktop running smooth

Damn so still no luck?

Last things I can think of are clearing CMOS thoroughly:

10mins should be long enough.

If there is a new BIOS available for your board, update to it and see
if that resolves the issue.

Lastly, if all else fails, open a support ticket with ASRock and see what they
have to suggest for you:

yeah i installed windows 10.

i did the safe mode and turned on secure boot and it did the same thing didn't make it past logo screen and it said preparing automatic repair.

this is driving me insane, haha. had no problems with it until my pc crashed and reset itself while playing BF6

Thank you for helping me i was hoping the safe mode one worked!

Did you reinstall 10 with secure boot enabled?

Try this:
Disable secure boot then boot into windows 10
Run sysconfig and enable safe mode under the boot tab, apply and restart
Enter BIOS and enable secure boot
Enter safe mode then run sysconfig again and uncheck safe mode
reboot

That often resolves issues. If not try installing windows 10 with secure boot
enabled.]]> Fri, 22 May 2026 13:39:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113521&PID=201531&title=z390-taichi-secure-boot-issue#201531 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113521&PID=201529&title=z390-taichi-secure-boot-issue#201529 Author: Yesoooh

ok I am back on windows 10. I went back through bios and turned off CSM, turn on PTT so the OS could read the TPM 2.0 Module. I set the key to custom and installed keys and enabled secure boot. Booted back up and went right to "Preparing automatic repair". when secure boot is turned off it boots like normal

What BIOS version are you on? If it isn't the latest for your board it may be
worth updating. Make sure you restore factory defaults before updating to ensure
a smooth update without any issues.

I am afraid that's about all I can offer advice wise, this secure boot nonsense
is something I just disable. It causes nothing but issues. Might be something to
do with the fact that you upgraded from Windows 10, I find upgrading is always
problematic unless it was an upgrade from a fresh install of the previous OS. Even
then there can be issues.

Maybe one of our other forum members knows a bit more on the subject. I am more
on the hardware side of things these days.

Iv done that also when i clear keys and turn secure boot on it doesn't active it, once i install key it actives and does the "preparing auto repair loop". I did notice when it sends me to the repair screen its say "continue to windows 10" but i have windows 11 installed.
