Secure Boot prevents Windows from booting — error 0xc0430001
Hello. I’m asking for help diagnosing a Secure Boot issue.
Computer configuration
- Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH (MS-7C95)
BIOS: latest version, 7C95v2P2
Windows 10, build 19045
The problem
When I enable Secure Boot in UEFI settings, Windows starts with a recovery screen showing error 0xc0430001. If I disable Secure Boot, the computer boots normally.
What I’ve already checked
BitLocker is disabled on the system drive, which is fully decrypted.
The active bootloader, \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi, has a valid Microsoft Windows signature issued by Windows UEFI CA 2023.
In Windows, UEFICA2023Status is set to Updated. The TPM-WMI event log contains Event ID 1808 entries reporting that the Secure Boot certificates/keys were updated successfully.
With Secure Boot disabled, PowerShell reports SecureBoot = 0 and SetupMode = 0.
I have not reset the Secure Boot keys.
How this started
I downloaded the new Call of Duty: Warzone, and it prompted me to update the BIOS. I went to MSI’s official website, downloaded the latest BIOS version to a USB flash drive, and installed it using M-FLASH. The computer booted after the update, but then I encountered this issue. I searched online, went into the BIOS, and disabled Secure Boot. Windows has worked since then, but I need Secure Boot enabled.
I’ve spent the last three days trying to fix this without success. Please let me know what additional information or logs you need to diagnose the issue, and what safe fix you recommend for this motherboard and BIOS version. I need to preserve the installed Secure Boot keys and avoid damaging the Windows installation or its boot configuration.Hello. I’m asking for help diagnosing a Secure Boot issue.

Search for msinfo32.exe in the search bar, take a screenshot, and post it here so we can see the correct laptop model or desktop configuration.
Access the Disk Management tool, take a screenshot, and post it here.
Thanks.

2026-11-10T14:00:35.56+00:00 Performed the recovery using: Copied C:\Windows\Boot\EFI\SecureBootRecovery.efi
Formatted the USB drive to FAT32
Created \EFI\BOOT\
I put the file there and renamed it to bootx64.efi
I booted the infected computer from this USB drive and started the recovery utility.
Nothing has changed.
