go.ea/secureboot is a shortened URL that appears when Battlefield 6 (and potentially other EA titles) detects that Secure Boot isn’t enabled—a requirement enforced by EA’s Javelin Anticheat system.
If you encounter the error:
it’s prompting you to enable this feature to proceed.
What’s Going On?
Secure Boot is a UEFI-level security feature that ensures your system only boots trusted software—protecting against kernel-level cheats, rootkits, spoofing, and more. EA mandates it for Battlefield 6 to support its anti-cheat system.
If disabled, the game won’t launch, and you’ll need to enable it through BIOS/UEFI.
How to Enable Secure Boot (and Related Features)
Here’s a streamlined, step-by-step guide—based on EA’s official documentation and community-tested methods:
1. Check if Secure Boot Is Already Enabled
Press Windows + R, type
msinfo32, and hit Enter.In System Summary, look for:
BIOS Mode: should be UEFI.
Secure Boot State: should be On.
If it’s Off or Unsupported, proceed to the next steps.
2. Convert Your Disk to GPT (if needed)
Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
Run:
If validation succeeds, run:
This converts your drive from MBR to GPT. Be sure to back up your data first.
3. Enable Secure Boot via BIOS
Restart your PC and enter the BIOS (usually via F2, Delete, or F11).
Switch to Advanced Mode, navigate to the Boot or Security tab.
Locate Secure Boot and set it to Enabled.
If needed, disable CSM (Compatibility Support Module) to enforce UEFI.
Save changes and reboot.
4. Verify It Again
Run
msinfo32again to confirm Secure Boot State is now On.

Community Advice & Support
Reddit users have noted several helpful tips and caveats:
“Secure Boot is required for Battlefield 6. … Most modern systems support it, but it’s often disabled by default.”
A Gigabyte user shared:
“… disable CSM, enable Secure Boot, restore factory keys… then reboot. After that, Secure Boot showed as On.”Another added:
“Half the [YouTube] comments are people saying it bricked their boot…” — a warning to proceed cautiously.
Summary
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1⃣ | Open msinfo32 to check current Secure Boot status |
| 2⃣ | Convert drive to GPT if it’s MBR using mbr2gpt |
| 3⃣ | Enter BIOS → enable UEFI and Secure Boot (and disable CSM if necessary) |
| 4⃣ | Reboot and verify in msinfo32 that Secure Boot is now “On” |
After enabling Secure Boot, try launching your game again. If you’ve successfully enabled Secure Boot and its dependencies you should no longer receive 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.
