Battlefield 6 “Secure Boot is Not Enabled” Error – How to Fix (Steam Version)

Battlefield 6 Secure Boot Error – How to Fix on Steam

EA’s anti-cheat for Battlefield 6 requires UEFI Secure Boot to be enabled — even if you’re playing on Steam. If it’s off, the game won’t launch and you’ll see the Secure Boot error before the game loads. If you’re preparing for the upcoming beta, you can read our full coverage here: Battlefield 6 Open Beta – August 2025.

Step 1: Check if Secure Boot is Disabled

1. Press Win + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter.
2. Look for Secure Boot State:
   • If it says On You’re good.
   • If it says Off or Unsupported, follow the steps below.

Step 2: Enable Secure Boot on Gigabyte Motherboards

(Example: B650M AORUS ELITE AX — steps are similar on other Gigabyte boards)

1. Restart your PC and tap the DEL key repeatedly to enter BIOS.
2. Press F2 to switch to Advanced Mode.
3. Go to BIOS → CSM Support → set to Disabled.
4. Save and reboot back into BIOS.
5. Go to Settings → Miscellaneous or Boot → Secure Boot → set to Enabled.
6. Set Secure Boot Mode to Standard (not Custom).
7. Save & Exit (F10).

Important Notes

• Secure Boot requires UEFI mode and a GPT-formatted drive.
• If your system is set to Legacy/MBR, you’ll need to convert to GPT before enabling Secure Boot (backup recommended).
• This requirement applies to all platforms — Steam, EA App, and Epic Games Store.
