Hey Valorant player if you are trying to open
Valorant on your Windows 11 and getting this error that is VAN9003, the version of Vanguard requires
secure boot to be enabled in order to play there might be different errors as well but the error
code would be VAN9003, so in this video, you will see different ways to fix this problem on your windows
11. Basically, this happens when the secure boot or UEFI is disabled from the BIOS, so you have to
check whether secure Boot and UEFI is enabled or not for that, go to search and search for
Msinfo and click on System information app, now in the System Summary, you need to find BIOS
mode and the Secure boot state BIOS mode should be UEFI, if it is CSM or Legacy, then you need to
change it to UEFI and the Secure Boot State should be ON; if it is OFF, you need to turn ON
secure boot from the BIOS. To enable these features you need to open bios on your PC, first you have to
find the BIOS key for your PC. If you have a laptop then search the BIOS key for your laptop, if you
have custom built PC, then search for BIOS key for your motherboard, simply search on Google, or I will
provide you some bios keys for the popular brands in the video description. Anyhow you have to find
bios key. Now close everything and restart your PC, while restarting, you have to press the BIOS
key on your keyboard, just press the BIOS key when you see the manufacturer
logo, and it will load up the BIOS I have MSI Motherboard, and the interface looks
like this, if you have different motherboard the interface will look different
but you will find similar options. Right now, the BIOS is in advanced mode
now if you see an interface something like this, that means the BIOS is in EZ mode
you have to open the Advanced mode first, click on Advanced mode or press F7 on your
keyboard to open the advanced BIOS mode Now click on Settings and you will get
some options, then go to Advanced Options and then Windows OS configuration, open
this option, and you will find the BIOS mode make sure you have selected UEFI; if it
is selected as Legacy or CSM, change it to UEFI, now click on secure boot and secure boot
should be enabled, if it is disabled, then enable it and secure boot mode should be standard.
Now go back to main menu and Security Options so that we can enable TPM 2.0, open the
security option and look for Trusted computing, and the security device support should be
enabled. If it is disabled, you have to enable it and the TPM switch should be enabled as well
whatever TPM switch is available, you have to select that one. It might be AMD ftpm, Intel PTT or
itpm, or firmware TPM, but if you see an option of discrete TPM then do not select it, and after that
you have to save all the changes you made. Simply click on this red x button and click on yes option
to save all the changes, and after that, your PC will restart. Now login back to your Windows 11 and
try to open Valorant check if you are able to open and play the Valorant or not, if yes you can leave
a like and exit out this video. If not, you need to open the MSinfo again and check if the secure
boot state is enabled or not. Whether it is enabled or not you need to open the BIOS menu again and
come back to this page and go to Advanced option and windows OS configuration, secure boot now
first, you need to disable the secure boot select the disabled option, and
secure boot mode, select custom option now again, click on secure boot mode and
select the standard option. Now it will ask you to install factory default Keys, press
yes option and reset without saving no option and enable the secure boot. Now, while doing
these things, you might get another error that is system is in setup mode, I have
a dedicated video to fix that error you can watch that video somewhere in this card.
Anyway after changing the secure boot mode and enabling secure boot you have to exit out
and save all the changes and then your PC will restart, once logged into Windows 11 let's
open the system information again and BIOS mode is UEFI and secure boot state is enabled.
Now it is turned on let's try to open Valorant and you can see that I am able to open Valorant
and I am able to play the Valorant without any error. In the most cases, enabling secure Boot and
UEFI will fix VAN9003 error on your Windows 11. by any chance, if you are still unable to open
Valorant on your Windows 11 then you can try the compatibility mode, first you need to locate the
shortcut of Valorant if it is on your desktop then good if not search for Valorant and open file
location or right click then open file location now copy this shortcut and paste it on desktop if it is already on your desktop then you can
skip this part, copy and paste to the desktop now right click on the Valorant
shortcut and go to properties click on the compatibility tab and check this
option, run this program in compatibility mode for select Windows 8, hit apply and ok. Now
