Secure boot violation on Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model (Mid 2021) - RZ09-0409

Hello,

I need technical assistance with a Secure Boot problem on my Razer laptop.

Device:
- Model: Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model (Mid 2021)
- Model number: RZ09-0409
- Operating system: Windows 11
- BIOS version/date: Razer 2.02, 12 November 2021
- BIOS mode: UEFI

When Secure Boot is enabled in the BIOS, the laptop immediately displays:

“Secure Boot Violation. Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot policy in setup.”

Windows starts normally when Secure Boot is disabled.

I have checked that:
- Windows Boot Manager is the first boot option
- BIOS mode is UEFI
- BIOS shows “System Mode – Deployed”
- BIOS shows “Vendor Keys – Active”
- Secure Boot keys appear to be present
- BIOS 2.02 is the latest BIOS version listed for this model

I also ran Windows system repairs. DISM and SFC completed successfully. I rebuilt the UEFI boot files using:

bcdboot C:\Windows /s X: /f UEFI

The command returned:

“Boot files successfully created.”

However, enabling Secure Boot still produces the same “Secure Boot Violation” error.

The laptop is outside the warranty period. However, this appears to be a BIOS/firmware or Secure Boot compatibility issue rather than physical damage or misuse. Please assess whether this can be resolved through official instructions, a firmware update, or another software/firmware procedure.

Kind regards,
C
