Greyed out play button.

Yesterday, when I tried to launch the game i was met by absolutely nothing happening. I tried running as administrator, restarting my PC and updating drivers and nothing worked. There was a program in task manager named BootstrapPackagedGame that I could not end - which i suspect is something to do with the issue. Today, i uninstalled and reinstalled the game entirely and while i can now get to the riot client, the button to play is simply greyed out. Interestingly, the aforementioned BootstrapPackagedGame is no longer in task manager. I've seen some solutions mentioning MSI afterburner and riviatuner but i dont believe i have either of these installed as this was my first time hearing of the programs.

update: restarted my pc and now launching valorant doesnt bring anything up again, not even the riot client play area and bootstrappackagedgame is back if i open riot client through the system tray, the play button is still greyed out and when i close the window it tells me that i cant close riot client while valorant is running, so the issue most likely is coming from bootstrappackagedgame as its the only thing related to the game running. however, this unfortunately will not end for some reason
