How to Fix Valorant Error Code VAN 1067 (Step-by-Step 2025 Fix)

If you're seeing the Valorant VAN 1067 error, you're not alone. This frustrating message prevents the game from launching and is usually related to TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot issues, especially after upgrading to Windows 11.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through every proven method to fix the Valorant VAN 1067 error in 2025 — even if you’re not a tech expert.

❗ What is Valorant VAN 1067?

VAN 1067 is a Vanguard Anti-Cheat error that blocks Valorant from running due to missing system-level security features.
Most commonly, this happens because:

• TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) is disabled

• Secure Boot is not enabled in BIOS

• You’re using a system that doesn’t meet Windows 11 security requirements

✅ Step-by-Step Solutions

1. ✅ Enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot in BIOS

This is the most common fix and it only takes a few minutes.

🪛 How to Enable TPM 2.0:

1. Restart your computer and enter BIOS (usually by pressing DEL, F2, or F10 at startup).

2. Go to Security > TPM or Advanced > Trusted Computing.

3. Ensure TPM or PTT is Enabled.

4. Save and Exit.

🪛 How to Enable Secure Boot:

1. While in BIOS, go to Boot > Secure Boot.

2. Change Secure Boot Mode to Standard or Enabled.

3. Save changes and restart.

💡 Note: On some systems, you may need to switch Boot Mode to UEFI for Secure Boot to work.

2. 🔁 Update BIOS Firmware (Optional but Helpful)

If TPM/Secure Boot settings aren’t visible, your BIOS may be outdated.

• Visit your motherboard manufacturer’s website

• Download the latest BIOS update

• Follow the official flashing guide

⚠️ Always back up your data before updating BIOS.

3. 🔄 Reinstall Vanguard Anti-Cheat

Sometimes Vanguard doesn’t detect Secure Boot even if it’s enabled.

Steps:

1. Press Win + R, type appwiz.cpl → Uninstall Riot Vanguard

2. Restart PC

3. Launch Valorant → Vanguard will reinstall automatically

4. Restart again

🧼 This resets Vanguard’s security hooks and resolves hidden conflicts.

4. 🧰 Check Windows 11 Integrity

If you're still facing the error, it might be a corrupt system component or faulty update.

Run this in Command Prompt (as Admin):

bash

sfc /scannow

Then run:

bash

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

These commands scan and repair system files.

5. 🧼 Full Clean Boot (Last Resort)

Sometimes background apps (like other anti-cheat or VPNs) interfere.

How to:

1. Press Win + R → type msconfig

2. Under Services, check "Hide all Microsoft services" → click Disable all

3. Under Startup, open Task Manager → disable all apps

4. Restart and try Valorant again

📊 Why Does VAN 1067 Happen More in 2025?

Since Windows 11 enforces TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for better system security, Vanguard anti-cheat relies heavily on these features to prevent cheating at the hardware level. As Riot updates their security protocols, systems not compliant with Windows 11 standards trigger VAN 1067 more frequently.

🖼️ Bonus Tip: Use System Info to Check TPM & Secure Boot Status

Press Win + R → type msinfo32

Check:

• TPM Available = Yes

• Secure Boot State = On

If either is missing → revisit BIOS settings.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I fix VAN 1067 without enabling Secure Boot?

No — it’s specific to Valorant + Vanguard. But similar anti-cheat systems may follow.

Is it safe to enable TPM and Secure Boot?
Yes. These are modern security features recommended for Windows 11 and are safe for all users.
