I think you misunderstand the point of this bug Niko. You did not need
to create a partition on the drive to get the prompt; a completely blank
drive would cause it, and it was not supposed to. This prompt has been
completely removed in 18.04 however, so I guess that closes this issue.

Had the same problem on a brand new empty SSd. The above suggested
solution worked for me:
> Formatting the ssd in gpt and creating one ext4 partition [with
gparted] made the installer ask if I wanted to force UEFI ahead of the
partitioning process.

Just ran into this bug on 17.10. Can confirm if you let the installer

works.
Partitioning manually before installation does NOT work and still stuck
on force UEFI message.

This problem still occurs in Ubuntu 17.04 installer.
If internet is connected before installation and using a blank disk, the "Force
UEFI installation" box will pop up after a manual partition. The buttons ("Go
Back" and "Continue") on the box do not work, and installation gets stuck here.
This problem is still around in 17.04! Really?

I've experienced this problem as well on Ubuntu MATE 16.04.2 LTS, but
managed to resolve it.
This issue seems to be related somehow to the existing partition table
of the drive: even after manually creating a new GPT table in gparted
(or KDE partition manager) I got stuck at this message, but if
I encountered the same problem (first using Ubuntu 16.04.1, and then
16.04.2), but only on one of the three pc's I just built. The only
differences between the one which showed the bug and the others, was
that I used another motherboard in the one with the problematic install,
and another brand of
Yeah, it happens when you have a brand new SSD and try to create the
partions manually - it won't work. My workaround: I chose the first
(default) installation option and let it create the partions. I aborted
and rebooted when I had to select the timezone. Then I chose the manual
partion mode and
OK, I've worked around the problem. First, I can confirm what vygotski
reported: it only happens if you are installing to a blank SSD. I
created my ESP (FAT32) partition first and made it larger (300 MB) and
the rest of my custom install worked after that. Not a huge problem but
it would be
The problem still exists in Yakkety. I am doing an install on an HP x2
Detachable 10-p010nr (the latest version). I attempted to basically
wipe the SSD and do a custom install so that I could have multiple
partitions. I got stuck at Force UEFI installation? and couldn't go
back or continue.
For me, the error only occurred when I was installing from an empty ssd.
Formatting the ssd in gpt and creating one ext4 partition made the installer
ask if I wanted to force UEFI ahead of the partitioning process. After that the
installation works as usual.

Still present in public release of Ubuntu MATE 16.04, and presumably

What do we need to do to help this get fixed? This is, as Martin says,
infuriating. It completely blocks you from installing Ubuntu in Hyper-V to a
blank VHDX using EFI boot.
