To check if Secure Boot is enabled on a Windows PC, there are several methods:
- System Information Tool:
- Open the Run dialog by pressing Win + R.
- Type msinfo32 and press OK to open System Information.
- In the System Summary, look for "Secure Boot State."
- It will say "On" if Secure Boot is enabled, "Off" if disabled, or "Unsupported" if not supported by the hardware.
- PowerShell:
- Open PowerShell as Administrator.
- Run the command: Confirm-SecureBootUEFI
- It returns True if Secure Boot is enabled, False if disabled, or an error if not supported or not run as admin.
- UEFI/BIOS Firmware Settings:
- Restart and enter UEFI/BIOS firmware (key like DEL, ESC, F2, etc., depending on manufacturer).
- Navigate to Boot or Security settings.
- Check the Secure Boot status there.
These methods work on Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems with UEFI firmware supporting Secure Boot.
