On Windows 11 this combo can cause the system to hang and refuse to wake. Go to Power Options, Advanced settings, turn off Hybrid Sleep, then open Command Prompt as admin and run powercfg /h off to fully disable hibernation, then reboot. This usually stops the forced shutdown cycle. Forced restarts can cause file system errors but actual data loss is rare, and I would only consider something like Stellar Data Recovery if files are already missing or unreadable after the issue is resolved.
A direct fix people miss is Windows Core Isolation. On Windows 11 Memory Integrity can block Vanguard and trigger VAN 1067 even when Secure Boot and TPM are fine. Go to Windows Security then Device Security then Core Isolation and turn Memory Integrity off restart and launch Valorant. This change does not touch personal files and in real world cases I have not seen data loss from it so tools like Stellar Data Recovery software are usually not needed here unless something unrelated already went wrong.
No Secure Boot itself does not touch your files. What people often miss is BitLocker. If your drive is encrypted and you change Secure Boot keys or switch boot mode Windows may ask for the BitLocker recovery key and that feels like data loss even though it is not. As long as you did not reinstall Windows convert the disk or wipe TPM keys your data stays put. Before BIOS changes always suspend BitLocker or save the recovery key and you are safe. Data recovery software is only needed if the drive becomes unreadable due to a separate hardware or file system issue and in that rare case something like Stellar data recovery can help but it is not part of fixing Secure Boot.

This DNS/network error won’t corrupt your files since it’s purely a connectivity issue from bad DNS cache, drivers, or proxy settings with no data loss reports. Since basic troubleshooting like resetting network settings and flushing DNS worked for you, run CMD as admin with ipconfig /flushdns and netsh winsock reset, then set DNS to Google’s 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 in Network Settings under IPv4, and disable proxy in Settings > Network > Proxy. Data remains completely safe as network resets never touch your drives—Stellar Data Recovery Free handles any unrelated file issues with a quick 1GB scan
VAN 1067 requires TPM 2.0 + Secure Boot activated in BIOS-no risk of data loss due to these changes.
Quick Fix:
Settings > Recovery > Advanced Startup > Restart > UEFI Firmware Settings.
BIOS: Enable TPM 2.0/fTPM + Secure Boot → Save & Exit
Restart Valorant.
Safe BIOS tweak only affects boot security. Stellar Data Recovery Free deals with unrelated file issues- handles 1GB limit and quick scans. Works on Win11!

Yeah, photos matter more than the phone honestly. I’ll try pulling what I can before resetting. Lesson learned… updates aren’t always friendly.
Worst case: factory reset fixes the bootloop, but data’s gone. If you want to try saving files first, this is where android data recovery tools sometimes help, depending on model and Android version.
If data matters, stop rebooting it nonstop. Every boot writes logs and overwrites stuff.
Not sure about USB debugging… phone was working fine before this.
If USB debugging was enabled earlier, you might pull some data via ADB before resetting.

Hi everyone,
Since the update of Windows 11, version 25H2, I have noticed data loss and file corruption on my system. Some of my files have vanished, while others fail to open.
Are you experiencing issues like me related to the loss of data after this latest update, and have you been able to recover or resolve this problem yourself?
