How to Fix Valorant VAN9005 Error

Valorant is a 5v5 tactical shooter that helps the players to explore the styles and skills on this platform.

To play the game, you should be instant when it comes to decision making and shooting abilities.

You can take part in different game modes such as Competitive, Unranked, Deathmatch, and Spike Rush.

In July, many users are not able to launch the game due to a Virtualization-based security (VBS) update.

The update does not allow the system to use it which did not enable UEFI and TPM 2.0 from launching Valorant.

In this article, I will tell you how to fix the VAN9005 error code in Valorant when your build of Vanguard is out of compliance.

What does the VAN9005 error mean?

VAN9005 error means that you didn’t update your BIOS mode to UEFI and enable TPM 2.0.

Enabling both of those features is necessary to run Valorant on your computer.

UEFI gives enhanced security features while TPM 2.0 has security for cryptographic operations.

If your system is not supporting those features, the best bet is to disable virtualization-based security (VBS) for this.

How to fix VAN9005 error in Valorant

To fix the VAN9005 error in Valorant, the first solution is to enable UEFI and TPM 2.0.

If your system is not supporting those features, the only way is to disable virtualization-based security (VBS) for this.

Solution 1: Enable UEFI and TPM 2.0

1. Restart your computer and press the BIOS key (for instance, F2 or DEL).
2. Follow these steps: Boot > Boot Mode > UEFI.
3. Security > Set Supervisor Password > Enter New Password (for example, 456).
4. Security > Change TPM (TCM) State > Enabled.
5. Exit > Exit Saving Changes > Yes.

#1 Tip: The BIOS key is unique for every system—to find the correct key, you need to perform a search for “BIOS key for x” on Google (for instance, BIOS key for HP laptop).

#2 Tip: Use the Windows search to search for “msinfo32” and find out if your system supports UEFI, opening it, and checking if the BIOS Mode is UEFI.

#3 Tip: Use the Windows search to search for “tpm.msc” to find out if your system supports TPM 2.0, open it, and check if the status is “The TPM is ready for use”.

#4 Tip: If the BIOS Mode is not UEFI and your system does not support TPM 2.0, move on to the next method and skip this one.

Solution 2: Disable VBS

1. Search for “CMD” by using Windows search.
2. Right-click the command prompt to select “Run as administrator”.
3. Type “bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off” there and hit enter.
4. Reboot your PC or laptop, use Windows Search, and search for “Core Isolation”.
5. Turn off “Memory Integrity” and reboot your PC.

Note: You can use the Windows search by searching for “msinfo32” to find out if VBS is disabled, opening it, and finding “Virtualization-based security”.
