How to require UEFI password for all boot-ups

[wtchdrm131902b9]

I have several desktop and laptop computers, all running Windows 11 25H2. I have installed UEFI passwords on two of these, one laptop and one desktop, and the laptop needs the UEFI password at every boot-up while the desktop only needs the UEFI password when entering the UEFI. I would like to have the desktop also require the UEFI password for every boot-up. Another forum said that this is motherboard-dependent. I am using a MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI motherboard. Is there a way to make the UEFI password mandatory for every boot-up ?

Yes. Switch to Advanced View (F7), go to Settings > Security. With the Admin password already installed, set "Password Check" to [Boot]. Press F10 to save and exit.
