You need to load your BIOS setup and in the menus look for anything that says UEFI/Secure Boot. There, you can turn it OFF by safely setting your hardware to work in Legacy Mode. Switching from Secure Boot to Legacy Mode will not damage your disk or destroy your Windows installation.

Start computer and run command prompt as admin. type this command or just copy and paste it.

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

Now restart computer and go back into BIOS and switch back to Secure Boot.

I beleave this should do it.
