If you encounter the error:

What’s Going On?
-
Secure Boot is a UEFI-level security feature that ensures your system only boots trusted software—protecting against kernel-level cheats, rootkits, spoofing, and more. EA mandates it for Battlefield 6 to support its anti-cheat system.
-
If disabled, the game won’t launch, and you’ll need to enable it through BIOS/UEFI.
How to Enable Secure Boot (and Related Features)
Here’s a streamlined, step-by-step guide—based on EA’s official documentation and community-tested methods:
1. Check if Secure Boot Is Already Enabled
-
Press Windows + R, type
msinfo32, and hit Enter. -
In System Summary, look for:

Community Advice & Support
Reddit users have noted several helpful tips and caveats:
“Secure Boot is required for Battlefield 6. … Most modern systems support it, but it’s often disabled by default.”
A Gigabyte user shared:
“… disable CSM, enable Secure Boot, restore factory keys… then reboot. After that, Secure Boot showed as On.”Another added:
“Half the [YouTube] comments are people saying it bricked their boot…” — a warning to proceed cautiously.
Summary
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1⃣ | Open msinfo32 to check current Secure Boot status |
| 2⃣ | Convert drive to GPT if it’s MBR using mbr2gpt |
| 3⃣ | Enter BIOS → enable UEFI and Secure Boot (and disable CSM if necessary) |
| 4⃣ | Reboot and verify in msinfo32 that Secure Boot is now “On” |
After enabling Secure Boot, try launching your game again. If you’ve successfully enabled Secure Boot and its dependencies you should no longer receive a warning asking you to enable the feature. On some versions of Windows an additional restart may be required for the feature to fully enable.
