Press F10 to save the changes and exit. Confirm by clicking Yes. If your BIOS does not have the "Secure Boot Preset" or "Image Execution Policy" options, it means you'll need to update it first.

Gigabyte: set CSM to "Disabled", then you can open the "Secure Boot" menu. After opening it, set "Secure Boot Mode" to "Standard" and "Secure Boot" to "Enabled". If that all of the above is correct and it still does not work, you might need to use the "Reset/Restore factory keys" option

r/FACEITcom on Reddit: FACEIT Anticheat Secure Boot not working Properly
February 14, 2026 -

Hi, I had a MSI MEG Z390 ACE (Yes I know old)

FACEIT has stated that there are issues with the secure boot for the MSI Motherboards and I have tried to do the fix that they suggest which is the go into the secure boot settings on the BIOS Change it to custom and DENY EXECUTE to REMOVEABLE & FIXED MEDIA. I have tried this, Deny execute to removeable Media causes no issue. When I deny access to fixed Media my computer goes NUH UH and just stays on a grey screen and never boots windows.

What am I supposed to do? currently have Faceit Premium, First I had to do TMP 2.0 then there was another setting that required me to update my BIOS to enable as that Bricked my Motherboard and had to short CMOS to allow me to sort it again when i tried it on the original BIOS version. Now I'm on this new BIOS Version FACEIT says secure boot doesn't work properly as the new MSI Version lets everything through.

I am trying to do the Fix as mention above as my BIOS doesnt have a Maximum Security Mode. Anyone had the same issue and have a fix where Deny Execute on Fixed Media results in nothing after saving and leaving BIOS?

1 month ago - Fixed boot entry detection not working on Single Language editions of Windows by reading the value by position instead of searching for the word “identifier”. Fixed an issue where disabling VBS with Credential Guard enabled on Windows 10 could require two reboots before fully taking effect.
