Short Answer
To fix the ‘This version of Vanguard requires secure boot’ error, restart your PC and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings, typically by pressing F2, F10, Del, or Esc. Enable the Secure Boot option and ensure your boot mode is set to UEFI, then save the changes and restart your computer for Vanguard to recognize the new settings.
Step 1: Access BIOS/UEFI Settings
To resolve the error message ‘This version of Vanguard requires secure boot,’ you need to restart your PC and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings. This is typically done by pressing specific keys like F2, F10, Del, or Esc right after you power on your computer. Timing is crucial; be ready to press the key you need as soon as the manufacturer’s logo appears.
