Ultra HD Blu-ray playback
The Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) feature is a requirement for the CPU and motherboard firmware to play DRM (digital rights management) protected content on Ultra HD Blu-ray movie discs on a Windows platform.
NoteIntel SGX has been removed from Intel 11th generation and newer CPUs, and support for SGX may be removed on new versions of Intel drivers or utility programs such as Intel SGX and Intel Management Engine drivers and firmware in the future. Such changes could cause these platforms to lose support for Ultra HD Blu-ray movie disc playback.
