Grub won't boot with secure boot enabled

So I have a dual boot setup with arch linux and windows 11. I have used this setup for a month or too with secure boot enabled.

Today I installed valorant, started it and got a message that it needs TPM 2 and secure boot enabled. Secure boot was still enabled at the time, and I played valorant with only windows 10 installed before this setup.

I restarted, got a black screen, then tried a few more times, same thing. I later found out that I can boot with secure boot disabled.

Re: Grub won't boot with secure boot enabled

I also run Arch Linux alongside Windows 11, and when I tried to play Valorant, I got the same message about needing TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled. At first, I couldn’t get Windows to boot either when Secure Boot was on, which was super frustrating. Eventually, I managed to fix it by reconfiguring the Secure Boot keys in the BIOS/UEFI settings. It took some trial and error, but now I can play Valorant without any problems. That said, my bigger issue now is ranking up – no matter how much I grind, it feels like I’m stuck at the same level. Do you have any tips for improving gameplay or breaking out of rank stagnation?

I’ve had my share of issues with Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 too, but it’s great that you figured it out. As for rank stagnation, that’s always tough. I found that using redacted aimbot made a huge difference in improving my gameplay. It helped me focus on tactics and strategies, while the aimbot ensured my shots were on point.
