Activision requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot on PC; verify their Windows status before making firmware changes.
Modern Warfare 4 requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot on PC. Check what Windows currently reports before changing firmware settings. A failed security check does not automatically mean that the computer lacks the hardware; one feature may be present but disabled or the system may be using an incompatible boot configuration.
Use this safe order:
- Open Windows Security and check Device security for the security processor status.
- Open System Information and read BIOS Mode and Secure Boot State.
- Install current Windows, platform-client, game, and motherboard updates.
- If either requirement is still disabled, follow the exact documentation for your PC or motherboard model.
- Return to Activision Support if the game still reports the check incorrectly.
Do not copy a random firmware menu path. AMD and Intel platforms use different TPM labels, and each manufacturer places Secure Boot controls differently. Changing Legacy/CSM boot, key enrollment, encryption, or firmware settings without checking recovery information can create a larger problem than the game error.
This support answer also does not claim that enabling the two options will solve every crash. Driver problems, damaged files, server outages, and beta patches have different causes. For access timing rather than a security error, use the beta schedule.
