Ran into an issue the other day. With a recent update to Battlefield 2042 by EA Games, having Secureboot enabled is now mandatory. For some reason, when I built my machine a couple years ago, I didn’t enable Secureboot when I assembled the machine and installed Windows 11.
EA Games provides instructions to enable Secureboot and identifies certain additional features that must be enabled: TPM 2.0, UEFI, and the hard drive has to be GPT partitioned. My machine has met the requirements. However, I’ve been searching for other information about enabling Secureboot and I’m finding that there are quite a few folks out there who have bricked their PCs when it is enabled after the machine has been running for a while. And restoring their systems is not a simple matter (much more than just disabling Secureboot).
I’d prefer not having to restore or reinstall the OS, so I’m wondering what experiences others may have had with enabling Secureboot AFTER Windows has been up and running.
Thanks.
Eric
