Valorant BSOD Error

I've recently been thinking about playing it again but back in April when I closed the game I got a BSOD error due to vgk.sys (Vanguard right?) and I dont wanna harm my PC but I really wanna play. Does anyone know any fixes?

If you're running in a virtual machine, this always happens. Valorant can't be played on vm's. otherwise you'll have to follow this

1/ Try a clean full uninstall reinstall.

2/ Do you have any 3rd party program that may interfere with Vanguard, see for instance, they talk about Corsair and Kasperky:

Contact Riot Support and provide as much context as possible + logs + screenshot. Don't launch Valorant anymore.
