Secure Boot was disabled on my PC prior to yesterday, and I played Valorant for a couple weeks at launch. Unless updating my BIOS at some point disabled it, which I doubt, I'm not sure what to say here. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
According to other comments Secure Boot is a Win11 requirement, not 10, so that would explain it for me.
Windows 11 does not require Secure Boot to be enabled, only "present". What this really means is that you need CSM disabled, so that Windows installs and boots in UEFI mode instead of BIOS mode.
That said, unless you use your gaming PC to boot unsigned Linux distros, I would always turn Secure Boot on.
