How do I activate the TPM 2.0 option?
Once in the BIOS, click on the “Security” tab and activate the TPM 2.0 option there. The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a chip according to the TCG specification that adds basic security features to a computer or similar device. Once the chip has been activated, it goes on to Secure Boot.
How do I activate Secure Boot?
Now go to the boot option and activate “Secure Boot”. This means that important firmware parts such as the Windows boot loader will only be started if they have not been tampered with by third parties. Once you are done, save the settings and the PC will restart automatically.
When you now start VALORANT, the game should work again. If you still can’t start VALORANT, please contact the Riot support, because the problem doesn’t seem to be “only” with VAN 1069
