How It Works:

- Confirm-SecureBootUEFI checks whether Secure Boot is currently enabled on the system's UEFI firmware - it returns a simple True or False.
- Secure Boot is a UEFI firmware feature that only allows digitally signed, trusted operating systems and bootloaders to start - it blocks malware (like bootkits) that tries to load before Windows itself starts.
- Windows 11 requires Secure Boot to be enabled, alongside TPM 2.0, as part of its official hardware requirements.
