Key insights
Secure Boot is a security feature in Windows 11 that helps protect your computer from malware during the startup process.
To enable Secure Boot, first restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings by pressing a specific key (often F2, Del, or Esc) as the system starts.
Inside the BIOS/UEFI, look for the Boot or Security tab to find the Secure Boot option.
If Secure Boot is disabled, use your keyboard to select it and change its value to "Enabled." Save changes before exiting.
Your computer will reboot. You can confirm Secure Boot's status in Windows 11 by opening System Information and checking the Secure Boot State.
Enabling Secure Boot improves device security but requires a compatible system; check if your hardware supports this feature before making changes.
