Valorant stopped recognizing Secure Boot after setting up a Zorin OS dual boot

After setting up Zorin OS and Windows in a dual-boot configuration on the same SSD, I launched Valorant and played a few matches normally. Then I was suddenly kicked and received an error saying that Secure Boot could not be verified, even though it is enabled. The message suggested updating the motherboard BIOS, but mine is already running the latest version. TPM is enabled as well, and I have confirmed the Secure Boot setting in several places. What could cause this after configuring dual boot, and how can I fix it?

A clean reinstall of Valorant and the Riot client is worth trying. You could also reset the motherboard BIOS to its defaults and then re-enable TPM and Secure Boot, making sure the default Secure Boot keys are enrolled again. Dual-boot changes can sometimes affect the firmware security configuration even when the settings appear enabled.

Valorant and its Vanguard anti-cheat are designed to run on Windows, not Linux. If the problem only appears when booting Windows after installing Zorin OS, the best support path is Windows or official Valorant support, since Linux itself cannot run the game normally.
