To fix the Valorant Secure Boot issue, the main steps involve enabling Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 in your computer's BIOS/UEFI settings. Here's how to do it:
Check Secure Boot and TPM Status
- Press Windows Key + R, type
msinfo32
, and hit Enter to open System Information. - Look for "Secure Boot State" (should be "On") and "BIOS Mode" (should be "UEFI").
- For TPM status, press Windows Key, type
tpm.msc
, and check if TPM is "ready for use."
Enable Secure Boot and TPM in BIOS
- Restart your computer.
- Press the BIOS access key during startup (commonly F2, F10, F12, Del, or Esc; it depends on your motherboard).
- In BIOS, navigate to the Boot or Security tab.
- Set Boot Mode to UEFI if it's on Legacy.
- Find and enable Secure Boot.
- Enable TPM (sometimes listed as "Security Device Support," "PTT" for Intel, or "fTPM" for AMD).
- Save and exit BIOS settings and reboot your system.
After enabling these settings, Valorant should run without Secure Boot errors. If you experience difficulties, check your motherboard manual or manufacturer's website for exact BIOS instructions, ensure your Windows 11 is up to date, and confirm your system meets Valorant's requirements. This process enhances system security and meets Vanguard's anti-cheat requirements, allowing Valorant to launch successfully.
