To enable Secure Boot for EA games (such as Battlefield 6) and other software requiring it, follow these general steps:
- Check your system to ensure that the BIOS Mode is set to UEFI and that your Windows system disk uses GPT partitioning instead of MBR. Also, confirm TPM 2.0 is enabled, as Secure Boot often requires it.
- Access your PC’s BIOS/UEFI firmware settings by restarting your computer and pressing the BIOS entry key (commonly F2, DEL, ESC, or F10 during boot).
- Navigate to the Boot or Security tab in BIOS and find the Secure Boot option.
- Enable Secure Boot (if it is disabled).
- Ensure that the OS Type is set to Windows UEFI mode.
- Save the changes and exit BIOS, your PC will restart with Secure Boot enabled.
Additional notes:
- If Secure Boot is greyed out or you cannot enable it, ensure you have already switched your BIOS mode to UEFI, converted your disk to GPT if necessary, and enabled TPM 2.0.
- Some motherboards may require you to reset Secure Boot keys to factory defaults or set an admin password in BIOS before allowing changes.
- Detailed steps and BIOS navigation can vary by manufacturer; refer to your PC or motherboard manual for exact instructions.
- Use "msinfo32" in the Run dialog on Windows to check BIOS Mode and Secure Boot state on your system.
These steps improve system security by only allowing trusted software during startup and meet requirements for some EA games employing Javelin Anticheat.
