Confirm the current Windows state first, then use the device or motherboard maker's UEFI instructions instead of a universal bypass.
Battlefield 6 officially requires TPM 2.0 and UEFI Secure Boot on PC. Check the Windows state before changing firmware: open System Information, confirm BIOS Mode is UEFI, and check Secure Boot State.
Safe diagnostic order
- Open
msinfo32and record BIOS Mode and Secure Boot State. - Open Windows Security → Device security and check whether a Security processor is present.
- Install pending Windows and motherboard or system-firmware updates.
- Use the PC or motherboard manufacturer's exact UEFI guide for that model.
- Recheck Windows before launching Battlefield 6.
Do not blindly switch storage or boot mode in firmware. A legacy Windows installation may need a supported conversion or vendor-specific preparation before UEFI Secure Boot can be enabled. Back up important data and preserve recovery keys before firmware changes.
If Secure Boot is already On but the game still reports it missing, capture the Windows System Information values, restart fully rather than resuming sleep, and check EA's current incident channels. Avoid unsigned tools or “workarounds” that disable security checks.

Questions players ask next
Does Battlefield 6 require Secure Boot?
Yes. EA and Steam list UEFI Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 in the PC requirements.
Is there a supported Secure Boot bypass?
No supported bypass is documented here. Changing or evading the requirement can leave the game blocked and may weaken system security.
Why can Windows show Secure Boot as unsupported?
The system may be using legacy BIOS mode, incompatible firmware settings, or hardware that does not expose the required UEFI capability.
