I can't access my BIOS - Atlas OS

Hello,

so here I am, I've just built a new PC, it's running on Windows 11, but I don't really like the fact that Windows 11 tracks everything I do at 100%, so I heard about Atlas OS, and I installed it yesterday and everything's working fine, but I wanted to install Valorant, and it won't launch because of this error message: "this version of vanguard requires secure boot to be enabled in order to play, see the vanguard notifications center in the tray for more details."

I checked on YouTube to see if others had the same problem and yes, so the guy went into the BIOS to fix the issue, so I took my PC, restarted it, pressed delete, and then I thought I was going to access the BIOS... but no, I ended up on a black screen displaying the following:

So I don't know if it's related to Atlas OS or because maybe the BIOS is outdated, but I tried with another PC that I have which is also running on Atlas OS and it's the same, I can't access the BIOS and it's becoming annoying.

Thanks to those who will take the time to help me.

    Hello

    I'm sharing the link; there is a user forum at Atlas OS.

    However, I just know that the key to enter the BIOS is different on each PC – Esc, Del, F1, F2, F5, F12... see this WikiHow

      Hello,

      There is indeed no relationship between Atlas or any OS and access to the BIOS; the screen shown to us is that of the Boot Manager and is nothing unusual.

      The main purpose of Atlas is to lighten the system by removing certain features, thus speeding up older machines, and by extension, games on machines with limited resources.

      It does not completely remove telemetry, and installing it for that reason is curious; not to mention that apart from certain controls (license checks), it is not personalized, and Microsoft does not care about what anyone does outside of the statistical plan; there are several utilities for that on Windows without Atlas.

      Regarding Valorant, the configuration is supposed to be UEFI, TPM 2.0, and Secure Boot, despite which many errors seem to be reported, possibly going through (maybe?) a BIOS update if the PC is properly equipped with TPM 2.0.
