You cannot play on secure servers

[𝑆𝓘𝓛𝟹𝒩𝐶𝓔]

Hello,
After 3,415 hours of play, I have become now suddenly this mssg: you cannot play on secure servers for one of the following reasons: 1st. An issue with your computer is blocking the Vac system, 2. you are unable to maintain a stable connection to the Vac system, and so on...
Idk why.

I try thease under all out, and becoming still mssg;
1. I uninstal and reinstall the game
2. sfc /scannow
3. chkdsk
4. cmd administrator/ the following(after video on Youtube how to fix Vac bug):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe /repair
bcdedit /deletevalue nointegritychecks
bcdedit /deletevalue loadoptions
bcdedit /debug off
bcdedit /deletevalue nx
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn

Steam, Can you Help?
I can even give you Teamviewer code to check my Computer for any Cheat software. You can check, after the running CSGO game all my computer. If this is an issue.

Funny about, because of these error I have become 30min competitive cooldown yesterday, after trying to restart my computer next one and now 24h cooldown.

Do not allow any stranger to connect to your PC through Teamviewer.
No one from Steam here.

And stop playing competitive until the issue is solved if you don't want to stack cooldowns.
Not exactly rocket science.

You don't need a video for that information, as it is covered here on the Support page, as well as other steps to take, that should have been linked from within the message that you saw :

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/22C0-03D0-AE4B-04E8

Apparently you did not know there was a page for it, since you said you followed that on YouTube. Also, if you do not see many, many threads about it in the forums, chances are it is on your end, and usually is.

Currently, I only see your thread here, so this error (not bug) is on your end surely.

A VAC error is not a VAC ban.

VAC errors occur when a software or hardware configuration prevents VAC from running properly. In such cases, secure servers will kick you/reject your joining attempt until the problem is solved.

If you are unable to determine which software is responsible for the VAC error, it's best advised to format your system and to reinstall your operating software.

Restart Steam, PC and Router

[𝑆𝓘𝓛𝟹𝒩𝐶𝓔]

All community servers use VAC by default. If the admin wishes to, they have to disable it manually.

You're getting the error because something on your computer is interfering with VAC. Since it's your computer, only you can fix it. Not Valve or anyone here can possibly know what's on your PC or how you have it configured.

What I do is check the local files, log out, and open steam as administrator. So it works again, but then without knowing why, the same problem appears.

Then that means something on your computer is still interfering with VAC.

For anyone that has this problem from a long time even after formating pc, the culprit is a crypto miner called "Unarchiver" that hides in your system app data, this way even if you format pc if you keep files and folders this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ trojan will stay in there. check out this subreddit's first answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/lvp4yu/disconnected_by_vac/
and do all those steps listed, it worked for me after having this issue for more almost 9 months.
