VALORANT is one of the most popular games out there but hardcore players still have some complaints, including a lot of reoccurring error codes. One that keeps coming up as of late is “This Version of Vanguard Requires Secure Boot.” If that has you going, “Huh?” you’ve come to the right place.
Here’s what to do:
- Shut down your PC completely
- When it boots up, press your BIOS hot key (this could be DEL, F1, F2, or F10)
- Inside the BIOS menu, check for the BOOT option
- Check “Secure Boot” and enable it
- The BIOS Mode value should be UEFI
- Confirm that Secure Boot State value is on
You might also need to enable Trusted Platform Module, aka TPM. This can be done by:
- Pressing the Windows key
- Then type in “tpm.msc”
- Click Enter
- If TPM is not supported or disabled, you will see: Compatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) cannot be found on this computer
- Check that your PC has a 1.2 TMP or later
- Then check it’s turned on in the BIOS
- If TPM is supported on your PC, you’ll see: The TPM is ready for use
