On March 20th, 2026 MSI released a BIOS update for B650 Tomahawk Wi-Fi motherboard. One of the changes says "Implemented the anti-cheat mechanism."

I looked around their forums and people seem to agree that it refers to Microsoft Pluton security processor.

Does anybody know what this change is actually about? Is it another initiative by Microsoft to further lock people out of their computers? Would it somehow hinder using Linux with this motherboard?
