How to use Secure Boot on your PC

Learn about Secure Boot, an important security feature required to play some EA games.

What is Secure Boot?

Some EA games require Secure Boot, a Windows 10 and Windows 11 security feature that ensures your PC only loads safe software during startup.

Secure Boot allows games supported by EA Javelin Anticheat to detect and remove bad actors, resulting in fewer cheaters and a better experience for players.

How to check if Secure Boot is enabled

On Windows 10 and Windows 11:

  1. Select the Windows Key + R. This will open the Run Window.
  2. Type msinfo32 and select the Enter Key or OK.
  3. From the System Information window that opens, select System Summary
  4. Scroll down to find these values:
    • BIOS Mode value should be UEFI
    • Secure Boot State value should be On.
  • If Secure Boot State is Off, we’ll need to check the BIOS Mode and then enable it.
  • If Secure Boot State is Unsupported, check with your motherboard manufacturer’s specification sheet or manual to see if Secure Boot is supported.
  • If BIOS Mode is UEFI, then you can move on to how to enable Secure Boot.
  • If BIOS Mode is Legacy, you’ll need to check if your Windows disk is MBR or GPT.

Heads up: Your Windows install drive must be set up correctly to support Secure Boot. Secure Boot needs to use GPT (GUID Partition Table) instead of MBR (Master Boot Record).

Requirements to enable Secure Boot

Heads-up: This article is a general guide, but it might not follow the exact steps of your PC.

If you’re not used to navigating to and updating your BIOS settings, you should contact a professional or your manufacturer’s customer support. Incorrectly configuring BIOS settings can cause issues with your computer, including failure to start up.

We highly recommend that you read your computer or motherboard manufacturer's support resources before updating any BIOS settings. EA doesn’t take responsibility for changes to your BIOS settings.

让我们检查一下安全启动要求 TPM 2.0 是否已打开,并确保 Windows 磁盘为 GPT 而不是 MBR。如果您已经完成这些步骤,则可以直接启用安全启动。

请向设备制造商寻求指导

检查 TPM 2.0 是否已启用

  1. 同时选择 “Windows”键“R” 来调出“运行 Windows”
  2. 输入“tpm.msc”并选择“输入键”
  3. 选中“状态”复选框,查看 TPM 是否可供使用。如果已准备好使用,是时候检查您的 Windows 磁盘是 MBR 还是 GPT
  4. 如果 TPM 尚未准备好,请向制造商了解如何在您的设备上正确启用 TPM

“TPM 管理”窗口显示 TPM 状态为“可使用”。

检查您的 Windows 磁盘是 MBR 还是 GPT

1. 同时选择 Windows 密钥X,然后选择“磁盘管理”

2. 找到标有 OSDisk(C:) 的磁盘,在左侧栏上点击右键,选择“属性”

“磁盘管理”窗口中高亮显示第 2 步的“属性”按钮。

3. 在弹出的“属性”窗口中,选择“卷”选项卡。

4. 找到“分区样式”项。

  • 如果显示 GUID 分区表(GPT),则无需任何作。 
  • 如果显示 MBR,则继续下一步。

Only move on to step 5 if Partition style says MBR. If it says GPT, you’re ready to enable Secure Boot.

5. Select Windows and R, then type cmd and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open an administrative command prompt.

An example of the administrative command prompt, showing the required commands described in Step 5.

  • Make sure the administrative command prompt says Administrator, then type mbr2gpt /validate /disk:0  /allowFullOS and select Enter. The disk:0 part of the command should match the number listed in the Disk Properties window under the Volume tab.

6. In the same administrative command prompt, type mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0 /allowfullOS and select Enter.

  • The disk:0 part of the command should match the number listed in the Disk Properties window under the Volume tab.

Check if your BIOS is set to UEFI mode

You might be required to switch the Firmware to boot to UEFI mode. Usually, this can be done through the BIOS Settings. Refer to your computer’s brand or manufacturer’s support resources for detailed instructions if you need to switch your Firmware Settings.

Now that if your Windows disk is set to GPT and your BIOS is set to UEFI, you’re ready to enable Secure Boot.

How to enable Secure Boot

在按照以下步骤作之前,请确保 TPM 2.0 和 UEFI 都已按要求成功启用

Remember—the BIOS menus for different brands and motherboard manufacturers can differ from those pictured here, so make sure to refer to your manufacturer’s support resources for specifics.

  1. Select the Windows Key and search for Change Advanced Startup Options.
  2. Next to Advanced startup select Restart now. Your computer will restart into Advanced Startup.
  3. An example of the BIOS menu highlighting the Advanced startup button.
  4. Select Advanced options.
  5. Select UEFI Firmware Settings.
  6. The Advanced options window, highlighting the UEFI Firmware Settings option.
  7. This will enter into your BIOS which should look similar to the following but often differs from one manufacturer to another.
  8. The Advanced options window, highlighting the UEFI Firmware Settings option.

  9. Navigate to the Boot tab, if you are having difficulty finding the correct option, many BIOS have a search function that you can use to find the correct tab and setting Pictured above the search can be accessed by hitting F9.

  10. Secure Boot state should be Enabled.
    • If it’s set to Disabled, change it to Enabled.
    • Note: If you are unable to modify the setting you will need to refer to your manufacturer for guidance, it is not uncommon for some manufacturers to require that you reset the Secure Boot Keys to factory values or enable the admin password for your Bios before allowing settings to be changed.
  11. OS Type should be set to Window UEFI mode.
  12. Go to the Exit tab and select Save Changes & Reset.
  13. An example of the Exit tab in Advanced Mode of the UEFI BIOS Utility..

  14. On the resulting confirmation dialog, Select Ok.
  15. An example of the Exit tab in Advanced Mode of the UEFI BIOS Utility..

  16. Your PC will restart with Secure Boot turned on.

After enabling Secure Boot, try launching your game again. If you’ve successfully enabled Secure Boot and its dependencies you should no longer get 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.
