Resolution

Before You Start

This article is for VAN: RESTRICTION: 4. If your error message shows a different VAN: RESTRICTION error, use the matching article instead:

VAN: RESTRICTION: 4 means Riot Vanguard couldn't verify your PC's Secure Boot configuration.

Before Vanguard can let your game launch, your PC needs to pass a quick trust check and Secure Boot is part of that. Follow our guide to enable Secure Boot, then restart your PC and try launching your game again.
