There are several ways to check if Secure Boot is enabled on a PC:
- Using System Information in Windows:
- Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog
- Type msinfo32 and press Enter
- In the System Information window, look under System Summary for "Secure Boot State"
- It will show "On" if enabled, "Off" if disabled, or "Unsupported" if not available on the hardware
- Using PowerShell:
- Open PowerShell as Administrator
- Run the command: Confirm-SecureBootUEFI
- It will return True if Secure Boot is enabled, False if disabled
- Checking UEFI/BIOS Firmware:
- Restart the PC and access the UEFI/BIOS settings by pressing a designated key during boot (common keys are Delete, ESC, F1, F2, F10, or F12)
- Navigate to the Boot or Security section to find the Secure Boot status
These methods work on Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems with UEFI firmware and GPT partition style for Secure Boot support.
