Valorant How To Fix: This Version of Vanguard Requires Secure Boot

To resolve this problem, you will need to examine the BIOS settings on your PC. If you are unfamiliar with this term, there's no need to worry, as we will guide you through each step. This way, you can easily verify whether Secure Boot is enabled or disabled on your system.

• If you want to grind in Valorant even more, perhaps you should give the Valorant Custom Keycaps a change. They look outstanding!

To begin, please shut down your PC completely and ensure that you carefully follow these steps during the bootup procedure:

1. During bootup, press your BIOS hot key (it changes depending on whose your PC manufacturer, but it's usually DEL, F1, F2, or F10)
2. Once you're in the BIOS menu, look for the BOOT option. Check Secure Boot and enable it.
3. The BIOS Mode value should be UEFI
4. Confirm the Secure Boot State value is on

If you also need to enable TPM (Trusted Platform Module), please follow these additional steps:

1. Press the Windows key.
2. Type tpm.msc and click Enter.
3. If TPM is somehow not supported (highly unlikely) or disabled, you will see the following text: Compatible TPM cannot be found: Compatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) cannot be found on this computer. Verify that this computer has a 1.2 TPM or later, and it is turned on in the BIOS.
4. If TPM is indeed supported on your PC, a new window pop up will show you the following message: “The TPM is ready for use.” Make sure that the specification version is 2.0.

That's all there is to it! We sincerely hope this solution assists you in getting back into the game and resuming your progress.
