Windows 8.1 Pro Secure Build isnt configured correctly build 9600 watermark

Hi,

After installing Windows 8.1, we may see an error on the desktop with the following message: “Secure Boot isn't configured correctly”.

This is currently a known issue for a few ASUS PC models.

Secure Boot helps increase the security of Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 PCs by stopping unauthorized software from running. If you see a "Secure Boot isn't configured correctly" message in the lower-right corner of the desktop, it means that Secure Boot has either been turned off or hasn't been set up correctly on the PC.

To turn on or set up Secure Boot, we will need to use the BIOS menu for the PC. Different PCs have different BIOS menus, so you may need to contact the PC's manufacturer for instructions.

If you have turned off Secure Boot and added own drivers then you might need to reset the PC to its original state before you can turn on Secure Boot.

Refer to:

**Returning your PC to its previous operating system**

Please let us know in case you need further help on this issue or any issue related to Windows.

My asus n56vz does not have Secure boot av an option in the BIOS. Have tried updating the BIOS, but no such option is available.

I just installed 8.1 & see this error message on my ASUS PC, but am confused by your response.  I am not savy enough to use the BIOS menu & don't understand why you are referring me to ASUS.  Given that, what am I supposed to do next?

Hi,

You may refer to this articlefor a better understanding.

To make changes to a Secure Boot settings, you'll need to use the BIOS menu for your PC.

So at this point of time you have to contact ASUS.
