Question Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) query

Is there a list of ATX motherboards that support Intel SGX? Apparently I need this if I want to play Ultra HD Blu-ray disks

I bought an Ultra HD Blu-ray player recently and installed it on my Windows 10 desktop PC. When I tried to play a disc using PowerDVD 20 Ultra I got a message saying my platform was unsuitable and I needed a CPU with SGX built in. I got a list of SGX CPUs from a distributor (Scan) but I was also told the the motherboard BIOS needed the facility to enable/disable SGX. Is this information incorrect?

SGX is a processor technology. It was added in the 6-gen Core (Skylake) processors.

EDIT: If you're trying to play UHD Blu-Rays, you actually need a 7th gen processor or later. (https://www.cyberlink.com/support/faq-content.do?id=19144)

I built my PC from components 7 years ago, so it is due for an upgrade. I don't need to replace all the peripherals, just the CPU, motherboard and RAM. I know what CPUs support SGX (some don't e.g. Intel 11400F), I just need to find a suitable motherboard.

There's no motherboard requirement because it requires the CPU to meet the requirements. Just get a motherboard that's compatible with the CPU you want to get.

I've been in contact with Intel support and CyberLink (i.e. PowerDVD) support, and they both tell me that "SGX needs to be supported by both motherboard and processor", (but they won't tell me which motherboards). So I'm still looking for a 10th Gen ATX motherboard with SGX.
