Battlefield 6 requires Secure Boot. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to enable the feature in BIOS/UEFI—a minimalist approach, just like Apple's.

What is Secure Boot?

Secure Boot is a security feature of the UEFI. It ensures that only trusted software is loaded during startup. Battlefield 6 will refuse to boot if Secure Boot is disabled.

Advantage: More security, Windows 11 compatibility, and games like Battlefield 6 run without error messages.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Check if Secure Boot is active

  • Press Windows + R.
  • Type msinfo32 and press Enter.
  • Check the “Secure Boot State” entry: On = active, Off = deactivated.

2. Boot into BIOS/UEFI

Restart the PC and press a key while booting: usually DEL , F2 or F10 .

3. Enable Secure Boot

  • Switch to advanced mode.
  • Navigate to Boot or Security .
  • Select Secure Boot → Enabled . If it's grayed out, set the boot mode to UEFI and select "Install Default Keys."
 Tip:
DEL (FYARE, MSI, Asus/Gigabyte),
F2 (Lenovo/HP),
F10 (HP)

4. Save changes & restart

Press F10 → Save & Exit → confirm. The PC will then restart.

5. Control

Windows + R again → msinfo32 . If "Safe Boot State = On" → Battlefield 6 will start.

Problems & Solutions

Secure Boot grayed out

Windows is running in Legacy/CSM mode. Solution: Switch to UEFI and convert the hard drive to GPT.

Battlefield 6 still won't start

Make sure TPM 2.0 is enabled in the BIOS (Security → TPM).

Pro tip: After activation, install Windows updates and graphics card drivers to ensure stable launch of games like Battlefield 6.
