Hi,
When starting up the game "VALORANT" I get 3 error messages, one of them being that TPM 2.0 and Secure boot have to be enabled to play.
I've been in the BIOS of my computer to see wether or not TPM and secure boot are enabled. Since I already updated to Windows 11 without ever having activated or deactivated those, it's safe to say they were both already turned on.
When I check in the System Information or BIOS though, the secure boot status is shown as OFF, inactive and so on.
How do I activate secure boot when it's already enabled in the BIOS?
Any help appreciated!

Thanks. I see the Secure boot state is disabled.
Please backup your Bitlocker key first from your Microsoft account.

Select Restore Factory Keys.
Select Reset to Setup mode.
Ensure Status is enabled.
Restart your computer and enter recovery key if prompted.
Not sure what you need to see, but I assume it's here somewhere. :)
The BIOS is fully updated, thanks. It must be a Settings issue.
Can you share a screenshot of BIOS Settings? Use your Phone's Camera.
The underlying issue might be, TPM/SB might be turned off later after the upgrade was complete.
Hi, is this what you needed?
Hi Ida,
I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.
Your device likely needs a BIOS update.
Right-click Start>Run.
Type in msinfo32 and press enter.
Take a screenshot of the System Summary window and post it in the next reply.
