New PC can’t access BIOS to enable Secure Boot for Valorant VAN9003, wired keyboard still boots to Windows

Hi, I’m trying to play Valorant on a new Windows 11 PC, but I’m getting VAN9003, saying UEFI Secure Boot needs to be enabled.
I’m trying to get into BIOS/UEFI to enable Secure Boot, but the PC just boots straight to the Windows login/home screen.
What I’ve tried:
Wired USB keyboard
Restarting and repeatedly pressing Delete
Restarting and repeatedly pressing F2
Windows Advanced Startup → UEFI Firmware Settings
Command Prompt command:

shutdown /r /fw /t 0

The command either says I don’t have privileges, or it just boots back into Windows.
Specs/info:
Windows 11
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B760-Plus WiFi
Error: Valorant VAN9003
Keyboard: wired USB keyboard
Does anyone have any ideas why Delete/F2 and UEFI Firmware Settings aren’t opening BIOS? Could Fast Boot or admin permissions be causing this? What else can I try?

Server Advice

I’ve been serving at OG for 2 years now. I usually run 5-6 tables at a time no problem, and yes i still box up every table and ring it before i bring it and don’t hold food. I’m always looking for ways I can go faster while following standards. Anyone got any suggestions that take as many tables as me?

Branching out

Been at OG since i was a 16 year old host. Now 21 and a Service Pro. I make good ass money serving and am interested in management. This is all i’ve known. I really want to try something else (in restaurant industry) and see if OG is really a place i want to stay long term. Any advice from anyone that has possibly been in the same spot as me?

Feeling gross and scared

2 nights ago i saw photos of teen wrestlers in tight outfits and it was weird and i was grossed out. i kept looking at the accounts commenting. the next day i saw a video of an 8 year old and i was grossed out because the account showed teens having sex, i got a pit in my stomach and was like is the 8 year old gonna show something bad and gross and i skimmed the video. it didn’t but i got off. i then saw a video of what looked to be a kid having and doing gross stuff with an adult man. i was so grossed out. i ended up looking back at the account to see if it was actually a kid and it was i think so i reported it. i then went back again because i was disturbed and need reassurance idk why i went back i feel so gross and scared

Concerned for friend

My friend in Wisconsin recently came across a disturbing clip on Twitter involving a minor. He was disgusted and reported it immediately. However, he revisited the clip twice to confirm whether it involved a minor, but did not save, share, or like it in any way. Could he face any legal consequences or potentially go to jail for simply viewing the content again, without distributing it?

Valorant crashing on new PC

I just bought a new $2,000 pc. I downloaded Valorant but when i get into a game it crashed every 5-10 minutes. It goes to the loading screen then closes the tab. One time it restarted my whole pc. Anyone have any ideas what could be happening or how to fix it? Only think I could think is it was halfway downloaded when I closed the tab and reopened it and it continued downloading. I’m trying to delete it and redownload but idk what to do if that doesn’t work.

Am I in the wrong?

I’ve been a CT for 2 years and worked at OG for 4. I’m also a Srv and Culinary Pro. My recent training class consisted of 6 trainees and 1 new server trainer who was observing. 7 people to keep track of in total. Not a big deal, only issue is it was slow in the restaurant. My trainees couldn’t even get double sat and didn’t have a chance to get up to 3 tables out of the 3 days taking tables. I told my GM I think some should be on 2 for 1-2 more shifts when they’re by themselves because training is done. She said we don’t do 2 tables at all (i thought if they didn’t feel comfortable they were allowed to stay on 2 for a few more shifts?) She also stated “i’d rather them suck then be on 2 tables,) I mean i’m off for 2 weeks so i don’t really care what happens, just feels like they aren’t set up for success and they’re gonna get overwhelmed and quit!! Am I in the wrong here?

Trazadone

I’ve been in trazodone since march of this year. 50 mg (lowest dose i believe)
I feel like the side effects are wearing off like the grogginess and such. I’m just wondering for those who have been on it, when did you get your first increase?

Worst throat pain ever

I got diagnosed online for strep 48 hours ago and have been taking amoxicillin since (4 doses). I also went on another website to get something for pain (Lidocaine). This is the worst throat pain i’ve had in my life. I can barely eat or drink anything without having a sharp shooting pain. I went to in person urgent care on monday and i tested negative for strep (they said it could be because i had already been on amoxicillin for 24 hours) I just need to know when the pain will start going down as im approaching the 48 hour mark!

▲ 1 r/OCD

One memory is from when I was younger, where I would pet near the base of her tail and then monitor my thoughts/body sensations, checking if I felt aroused or if it meant something bad. Another memory is from when I was 19, where I touched my cat’s belly/nipple area while checking if I was hurting her. Now I’m almost 21 and I feel intense shame, disgust, and anxiety when these memories come up.

I keep asking myself if these moments mean I’m a bad person or abused my cat, and I’m seeking certainty. It feels like OCD is taking awkward past moments and turning them into proof that I’m terrible. Has anyone dealt with OCD latching onto past pet interactions or memories like this?
