The error VAN9003 indicates that Secure Boot needs to be enabled for Vanguard to function properly. Before enabling Secure Boot, ensure your system is configured with UEFI, not Legacy BIOS, as enabling Secure Boot on a Legacy BIOS (MBR) setup can render your Windows unbootable.
Here’s how to enable Secure Boot:
1. Check your BIOS Mode:
- Press
Win+R and type msinfo32 then press Enter.
- In the System Information window, check the "BIOS Mode" line. It should read UEFI.
2. Enable Secure Boot:
- Reboot your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (often pressing Delete, F2, or Esc right after powering on).
- Navigate to the Boot tab.
- Look for a setting named Secure Boot and enable it.
- Save changes and exit BIOS/UEFI.
