I hate myself for enjoying Battlefield 6 enough at the moment to still be shackled to Windows. It's almost like have BF4 back again.

Please flame

There are plenty of other shooters to enjoy over here, even Halo works and that just feels like it should be illegal

Lmao my 5 yo asus vivobook has never encountered secure launch but it still refuses to shut down sometimes, probably since windows 11 makes it so the ram is at least 70% full at idle lol

After installing the January 13, 2026, Windows security update (KB5073455) for Windows 11, version 23H2, some PCs with Secure Launch are unable to shut down or enter hibernation. Instead, the device restarts.

It is able to restart
