I had an interesting issue, I noticed that Secure Boot wasn't enabled, even though I enabled it in the BIOS. I tinkered around in Windows but it steadfastly refused to be enabled. After considerable searching, I finally found an obscure reference to additional steps needed in the BIOS. I had to Restore Factory Keys to reset it to User Mode and allow it to function. I saw that function when I first setup the computer, but I was loath to reset it as I wasn't sure what that might do.
Just figured I'd mention this in case someone else is scratching their head. This hardware is the first time I've had a computer that had Secure Boot, so I hadn't seen this before. Don't know if this is common knowledge or not.
