UHD encryption needs keys to play, and your choice of software determines whether or not you have keys. The official way involved having specific hardware and software (Windows, a compatible drive, cabling that blocked being able to tap into the video signal, a compatible display, a particular program to view). Unofficial ways have been to use software that has its own keys, and players that are compatible with playing as that software decodes the video. Or, writing the video out in standard files and playing it later.

Real-time play is difficult, because of this.

You can play the discs "unofficially" using a player such as VLC, MPC-HC etc that you have integrated with MakeMKV (in preferences) so that MakeMKV can be used to decrypt the disc on-the-fly.
