Battlefield 6 is set to release on October 10, 2025, while the open beta will be available for a specific window in August. The developers have turned up their security efforts in this new release. They have introduced anti-cheat measures right from the system boot level. Those who experienced the beta must have encountered the following error: SecureBoot is not enabled. Learn how to use SecureBoot at go.ea.com/SecureBoot.
While it may seem troublesome, there’s nothing to panic about, as the game is not broken. It rather requires some extra security measures. Specifically, you need to enable secure boot in your system. We are going to tell you how to do it, so follow along.
Battlefield 6 secure boot error: How to fix it
Press the Windows key and type system information in the search bar. Open it and look for the BIOS mode that should either be UEFI or legacy.
If BIOS mode is legacy, the secure boot state will be unsupported; otherwise, it should be either on or off. Two things need to be done here: change the BIOS mode to UEFI and switch the secure boot state to on.
Both sections are elaborated below, and you can skip to the section of your requirement as per the status you see in the system information.
Switching to GPT
Press Windows + X and open Disk Management. Right-click on the system drive and then select properties.
Go to the volumes tab and check the partition style that should be either GPT or MBR. If it’s MBR, we need to convert it to GPT, but make sure to back up all the useful data first.
Close the current window and again press Windows+X to select Windows PowerShell Admin. In the new window, type: mbr2gpt /validate /allowfullOS and press enter to give a validation check.
For converting, type: mbr2gpt /convert /allowfullOS and press enter. You can now switch the BIOS mode from legacy to UEFI.
Switching to UEFI
Restart the computer and repeatedly press the assigned key to enter the BIOS. If you are not sure about what key to press, you can simply look up the name of your motherboard from system information. Thereafter, Google for the specific key to enter the BIOS. You can also search for switching to UEFI.
As the BIOS for various systems will work differently, we have suggested using Google to look for information about your motherboard. Besides, we have already described the general process below that should clear your doubts.
Look for the boot tab or menu in the BIOS and choose the Compatibility Support Module (CSM) or boot mode option. Disable CSM and ensure the boot mode is set to UEFI. Then, go to the security tab to look for the secure boot option.
Enabling secure boot
Set secure boot mode to custom and click on install default secure boot keys.
After installing the secure boot keys, you can enable secure boot, then save and exit.
After following these steps, you should be all done with SecureBoot, and the error should no longer pop up on your screen. It might not be practical to cover each and every BIOS in this article. Thus, you can Google for specific issues encountered while enabling secure boot. Digistatement will always guide you in case of any doubt, so if you’re stuck, just let us know, and we will cover the topic.
