Hi, I am trying to install signed shim in order to use secure boot with Linux but the custom secure boot mode is grayed out.
I want this so I can play valorant on windows because it requires that the secure boot is on.

    What is the exact model? Example AN515-55-58VH. Have you ever created a password in setsupervisorpassword to try to disable and enable secureboot?

    I have the same issue, Secure Boot is enabled but Secure Boot Mode is on Custom and I'm not able to change it as it is greyed out, my model is A315-33-C89L, even though I've set a password, I'm not able to change it to standard from custom.

    The original poster didn't ever give us their model number, so likely it's different than yours. Best is to start a new thread with your question so you can mark it answered when appropriate. You likely need to set an admin password before taking the secure boot back to factory defaults, then remove the password after, so you don't need to remember it over the long run. Usually custom just means someone has set a different UEFI file as trusted, for instance during a Linux install.
