Valorant has built a reputation for itself by cracking down on cheaters through the Vanguard program. The new update of Vanguard causes errors when players don’t have the right settings enabled on their computers. Here’s everything you need to know about fixing the ‘This build of Vanguard requires TPM Version 2.0 and Secure Boot to be enabled in order to play’ Valorant error.
How To Fix the TPM Version 2.0 and Secure Boot Disabled Error in Valorant
Enabling Secure Boot is required to play Valorant, and this involves using your computer’s bios menu; luckily, you have to restart your computer once you install the game, so you can enter the bios menu while your computer powers up again. There are a few keys that you can press to enter the bios menu, but it depends on your computer: MSI uses the ‘del’ key for entering the menu, but other computers use ‘F’ keys. Hit the right key a few times when you see a logo during bootup.
The bios menu should have a search option. Simply type ‘Secure Boot’, and click ‘enable’ when it pops up. Make sure Secure Boot mode is set to standard and the factory default keys are enabled. You may need to disable CSM support to enable Secure Boot. If you have to change the above settings before enabling Secure Boot, it’s best to save changes and restart your computer before accessing the bios menu again to enable Standard Mode Secure Boot.
The TPM version should be listed on the bios menu, so check if it’s at least version 2.0. It should be enabled on many new computers.
