Disabling Secure Boot on Framework Desktop

For those new to Framework or this Insyde bios…

To disable Secure Boot, bang on the F2 key after turning on the system to get into the full ‘setup’ menu.

If you just go into setup from hitting enter after the system doesn’t boot you don’t get the Secure boot options.

Banging on F2 gets you the option to Administer Secure Boot

Now I can get back to installing CachyOS without having to muck with secure boot stuff.

Thank you! Adding information to get indexed, if you try to boot off of a USB drive on the Framework desktop (e.g. for first time OS install) and see “EFI USB Device (DEVICE_NAME) boot failed.” that can be as a result of secure boot. I disabled secure boot and everything started to work.

I really wish the people who made the BIOS would improve their error messages :expressionless:

Thank you so much for revealing the secret menu! Three usb sticks and hours later, I’m finally able to install an OS. I’ve done this dozens if not hundreds of times over the years, and this is the first BIOS that stumped me.

Thank you. I thought i was in the bios for like 40 mins being like “wtf how is there not secure boot setting?”
