Activating the secure boot state

[TauMasse]

Hello, when I launch Valorant, the game crashes after a few minutes with an error page from Vanguard. My system information tells me that the secure boot state is disabled, but when I go into the BIOS, the secure boot state is noted as enabled. I have tried disabling and re-enabling the secure boot state in the BIOS without success. Thank you

@TauMasse, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

Thank you for reaching out. Since you're encountering a Vanguard error while launching Valorant please try the following steps:

Reinstall Vanguard:
Uninstall Riot Vanguard from your system, then relaunch Valorant. This will prompt Vanguard to reinstall. Once the installation is complete, reboot your system.

Repair Valorant Installation:
If reinstalling Vanguard doesn’t resolve the issue, please visit the official Valorant download page and run the setup file again—without uninstalling the game. This will repair any corrupted files that may be causing the issue.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps. 

Take care and have a good day.

Hello, first of all thank you for your help. I have applied the steps that you advised but without success. I have already reset my PC to 0 several times so I don't think there are any corrupted files in Valorant. I noticed that when I switched to Windows 10 I could play the game normally as there was no need for security boot. I think there's a communication problem between the BIOS data and the system data. I would switch back to Windows 10 as a last resort. Thanks a lot
