SGX disabled. Hexos installation

[Baker95]

I’m having trouble installing hexos. When I boot from USB I get the message SGX disabled by BIOS. Inside my bios on only have 2 options for SGX, disabled or software controlled. The Morherboard is a ASUS TUF Z370, CPU is intel 8600k.

Hi @Baker95 You'll need to disable UEFI mode and attempt to boot to Legacy Mode, so I'd opt for disabled and start there.

I had a similar issue. I originally used Ventoy to boot the HexOS ISO. Once I used balenaEtcher it worked fine, even in UEFI mode.

balenaEtcher works for me in UEFI mode
