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?

I had same problem recently with my MSI mobo. I found that the bios is awfully organised, and the required settings were not in the expected ‘Security -> Trusted Computing’ section, but were actually in ‘Advanced -> Windows OS Configuration -> Secure Boot’, where I could change Boot mode to Maximum Security. Just poke around all the menus and submenus until you find the right one, because it likely isn’t under the Security section where it should be if MSI engineers had any common sense. Changing the Secure Boot mode to Maximum Security should be all you need to do… don’t worry about keys or deny/execute etc.

November 29, 2012 - I've been trying to enable secure boot because I was trying to install windows 11, and when I disabled CSM support, I restarted my computer and when I tried re-enabling it again, it automatically disables itself. And when I try to disable secure boot, it's all grayed out, and I can't do any modifications to it.
