How to Play Valorant without Secure Boot on Windows 11
Unfortunately, you can't bypass the Secure Boot requirement for Valorant on Windows 11. Riot Games implemented a kernel-level anti-cheat system called Vanguard that requires Secure Boot to be enabled for the game to run. It's all about keeping the game fair by preventing cheats. Best advice? Enable Secure Boot in your BIOS settings. It's usually straightforward and there are plenty of guides online to help with your specific motherboard!

I tried everything but ended up enabling Secure Boot. It wasn't as scary as I thought. If you're worried about messing up your PC, just look up a tutorial for your specific motherboard. Took me less than 10 minutes and Valorant runs perfectly.
Just enable Secure Boot, lol. It's not worth the hassle trying to find a workaround. Security features are there for a reason, both for protecting your PC and ensuring a cheat-free game environment in Valorant.
