AFAIK, UEFISecureBootEnabled at Value 0 should correspond to secure boot OFF.
I don't know if its a known bug but you can always report it to Feedback Hub.

It's solved! 🙂
In my case, although the secure boot was enabled, the issue was the "Platform Mode" option was "Setup Mode" enabled. For the registry key correctly update, the option needs to be "User Mode".
To change to "User Mode" I needed to restore factory keys.
After that, everything worked fine and the registry key was correctly changed to 1.

Hello, I have the same problem, would you be so kind as to tell me how is the procedure to restore the factory keys- DiogoSousaJul 28, 2022Iron Contributor
Hi carlos1015!
It will depend of the device, but, here's our procedure for most Lenovo devices:
- Enter "UEFI"
- Go to "Security"
- Then select "Secure Boot"
- Select "Factory Keys"
This will restore the factory keys.
It worked for us on all devices.Note: Be aware that if you're using BitLocker it may ask you the recovery key.

my computer is an acer nitro 5 and i only get the option to put secure boot on or off
What could I do in this case since I don't get the option for factory keys?
