Yeh the problem 4K UHD on PC requires both CPU-integrated graphics and Intel SGX. Otherwise it fails the DRM check and will not playback the content.Modern nvidia cards have similar HDMI specs and 4K UHD Blu ray does not work with them.
The leaked Intel block diagram (from a historically reliable source - for instance most recently they leaked the detailed specifications of every processor in the Comet Lake S family 5 months before Intel revealed them and were 100% accurate) specifically notes for the 11th gen consumer architecture that has the integrated graphics needed that Intel SGX will not be present.
The security issues with Intel SGX may very well be why they removed it, but the side effect of this will be breaking the ability to playback 4K UHD Blu ray unless the BDA relaxes the DRM requirements.
