Yes, set the OS Type to Windows UEFI so that Secure Boot is enabled and everything will be configured correctly.

    In this case, enable the option again to check if your Windows partition is installed in GPT or MBR.

    When starting the computer, press the Windows key + X and open Disk Manager

    Right-click on the bottom left of the disk where your system is installed.

    Go to Properties > Volumes

    If it is installed as MBR, you will need to change it to GPT;

    Open the Command Prompt, click on the start menu and type cmd and run as administrator.

    Copy and paste the command to validate if the disk is compatible;

    mbr2gpt /validate

    Copy and paste the command to convert;

    mbr2gpt /convert

    Restart the computer and disable CSM again.

    *The conversion should not affect your data, but if you want, you can make a backup.

    Also turn off the "Launch CSM" option, then save and see if it still says Secure Boot off.
