I don't have any Alienware devices but I have Dell desktops and laptops that have a similar looking BIOS Setup. Your BIOS might have its Secure Boot set to "Audit" mode instead of "Deployed" mode, which is still "enabled" but the Audit mode does not enforce Secure Boot rules.

Hopefully these screens look similar to your screens from your Alienware BIOS.

If you need to, make sure you save a backup of your settings before you change them. You can undo them if your machine doesn't boot afterward. Switching between Audit mode and Deployed mode is an effective on/off switch for Secure Boot, at least on Precision 76xx laptops.

See if this helps.

For some reason it won't let me change it. It gives me a warning that says

" changing the secure boot mode will enroll the default dell platform key. If you wish to enroll a custom key, use expert key management." So I press okay. And it stays on audit mode.

yeah it wont change to deployed mode. it switches back to audit. Sorry for the sideways pitcures lol

@thekiller199365​ ,

Yeah, looks like someone (Dell ?) left it in Audit-Mode (or you had "some event" and it got switched to that). That's for BIOS and driver testing ... Experimental stuff. Deployed-Mode is what you want when you are using the computer "for real".

The default Dell Platform-Key (PK) is what we are all using on our machines now. But yeah, that is not something you would want in Audit-Mode.

@Tesla1856​ when it came out that you had to have secure boot on for battlefield and call of duty I think sometime last year. I remember going into the bios and it was already enabled and I was able to play. It just recently started saying it wasn't enabled.

Then went into bios and seen it was enabled but in audit mode and Microsoft support said I needed dells platform key which I don't know how to get. Can't talk to dell chat support all it is, is an AI. And my support service thing ended like a couple years ago.

1. nice

2. cool

3. bummer

4. I don't think you can in Audit-Mode. Re-read my post above.

5. Really?! But I thought AI was all-knowing and everything they say is golden (at least that is how many people act now-days).

Problem is ... I don't really "do AMD" or know about AMD-chipset motherboards. But hopefully what I already told you pushes you in the correct direction to resolve your issue.

@Tesla1856​ so should I be talking to amd support or dell. Microsoft support said I need dells default product key don't know where to go to get it. 

@thekiller199365​ ,

AFAIK, the Default Product Key is in the BIOS-Firmware, waiting to be used. Once the motherboard is successfully shifted into Deployed-Mode (aka normal-use Mode) the Product-Key (normally called PK) will be automatically available when you are in Windows using SecureBoot Mode. 

I think Dell/Alienware is support for all the Alienware Auroras ... aren't they?

Were you messing with the Keys in Custom-Key-Management ... like back when it was still working?

@Tesla1856​ no, never touched it. Only went to the bios to enable it for the games but it was already enabled so I never messed with it.
