All the guides I come across suggest changing this "Secure Boot Mode" setting from Default to Custom, but it doesn’t appear in my BIOS? That seems confusing.

The os type in Windows UEFI mode indicates secure boot is enabled, while setting it to another OS would disable it.

I attempted it with both and after booting Windows, secure boot remains disabled and Valorant still won't start, regardless of my actions. In all tutorials, an extra screen option labeled "Secure Boot Mode" appears, but it's completely absent from my setup. Here is a screenshot of the correct configuration:

And this is my BIOS, which lacks that feature:

I attempted to follow this tutorial:

and I performed all the steps precisely, but when trying to boot it, it mentioned the keys were invalid, forcing me to reverse everything I had done.
