Do you get an error message?
no it just doesnt do anything
Press Windows button + R > Type services.msc > Search for vgc in the list > Right click on it and hit properties > Set the service to automatic instead of manual or disabled > Start the service, then hit apply and then okay
After that, try launching the game
Make sure riot client is closed when you're doing that

i got this always
the valorant is running but its notting there
@remix.99

I'm not sure about mine too, it just popped valo screen then I closed coz someone called

All games
Expect Valo opens
I noticed that you have Norton Antivirus. I'm sorry for the language, but try to turn that piece of shit off and then try to relaunch the game xD
It's very possible that that's what's interrupting the game from launching
And if that doesn't work, we could hop on a call and try to troubleshoot it further if you're comfortable with that
Wtf is Norton antivirus
i temporarily can't use my headphones meaning that my mic doesn't work into this cable arrives, i already bought it
It's an... Anti virus? You can see that it's installed in your video when you right clicked on Valorant to run it as an admin. It's called Norton Security
Damn when did i installed that
It's alright, You could stream for me and I'll just give you some instructions that you can do
You can just type in DMs
But hey, I genuinely think it could be Norton doing that
You could google on how to disable it
Ill try disabling it
thanks
No worries. Let me know how it goes
if i disable that
wouldn't i have no antivirus?
i would be burnable to viruses
Will do 
Windows 10 / 11 already comes with a built-in antivirus which is Windows Defender. And honestly? I think that it's more than enough as long as you don't go clicking random fishy links and stuff like that and you make sure that you download stuff from trusted websites
I feel like a lot of antivirus apps do more harm than good when it comes to how much resources they keep hogging and how much they keep messing up with PCs
I don't remember installing that antivirus, my PC isn't old, i just built a week ago
Ye i get you
That's really odd then
But hey, if that doesn't work, you can try some of the fixes that are in the pinned post in #community-help
Ok
Thanks
so I am trying to play Valorant, but it says that i have to enable secure boot. UEFI is enabled btw. If I go into the bios and look under "boot" there is no option to enable secure boot. Is there another way of turning it on?
Well, I can't really say for sure. But you can look up how to enable secure boot with your motherboard's name or BIOS version on google or youtube and they'll show you how to do it if it's hidden somewhere
help its doesnt open yet my valorant is so high but there is nothing on my desktop or task tab
its not opening
@remix.99 i have deleted that app
Have you tried running the game now?
i have
it aint doing anything
let me try downloading another riot game
Try that
Cuz Norton might've deleted something related to Riot Client or Valorant when it was still installed
Also, when you're done with that, make sure to run both Riot and Val as an admin again
is it normal thgat riot games aint installed ?
Yeah
It's happening with me aswell
But
What does it show when you try and open it
nothing
it just mAkes a turumb sound
Did U double click
ye
im running it as admin too
legends of runetera aint working eihter
Disable riot Vanguard and then get it again
Press the arrows thing on your taskbar
how do i do that
Right click the valorant looking button
ye
And press disable or whatever it says
then?
Delete
It's definitely not normal
So... When you right click on Riot Client's icon and click on Open File Location, it doesn't send you anywhere?
there isnt any riot client
So it's not being installed at all when you run the installer?
If it's not getting installed, you should be getting an error or something letting you that the installation was unsuccessful
ive installed valorant from website
i have valorant.exe
and when nothing else installs
its starnge
Yeah, downloading the installer from the website usually installs Riot Client with it automatically
idk not even installing another game it installs
look
Alright, right click on Valorant and open file location
Then take a screenshot
wifi slow idk why
tyt
sorry if small idk how to take smaller
Launch RiotClientServices.exe as an admin
That should be the Riot Client
nopthing
Alright, hold on a sec
it doesnt open
it says this when i open in files
Yeah?
look
That's when you tried to open the game, not Riot Client, right?
ye
whenj i tried opening valorant from files
Alright, try right clicking on RiotClientServices.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Check the box Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 8 > And then hit Apply and OK
Then try running it again
Try running the client alone, not the game
im using wondows 10
Bro
ok
I know
sorry
Just try those steps
No worries
ok
already on windows 8
Check that box
to enable it
Then click OK
And then launch RiotClientServices.exe
nop
not opening
damn
this shit is weird cause i went on vacation and it stopped working
only riot games not working
overwatch, tomb riader... work
Search for Windows Security on Windows > Click on Virus and threat protection > Then click on Manage settings like in the screenshot
Scroll down to Exclusions and then click on Add or remove exceptions, then add the Riot Games folder to the exceptions
im there
only riot
or both valo and riot
The main Riot Games folder
oh ye nvm
sorry
Also, have you tried some of the fixes in the pinned thread in #community-help
?
no just got home
Try them when you get the chance
btw ive selected riot
good like this?
Yes
Try launching it now I guess
shoiuld i try?
That was one of the fixes in the pinned thread
Yeah, go ahead
this is so stresfull
it aint wokring
I have an idea
Try moving your Riot Games folder to Program Files instead of just leaving it on C drive
Do that and let me know how it goes
i got lost
Go to your Local Disk C
And then move the folder that is called "Riot Games" and place it inside the folder that is called "Program Files" on the same disk
Close the riot client folder first
Close all of those open windows that u have
Then press Windows button + E
Go to "This PC"
Then local disk C
Yo guys i open valorant but it crashes a few seconds after with no trace of it
And then move that Riot Games folder from Local disk C to Program Files like I told you earlier
i aint have anything open
Open task manager
And make sure that some Riot games exe isn't running there
If there is any, make sure to close it
ive closed
k its there
Was there something Riot related running in the background?
Alright
Try running RiotClientServices.exe
ye something realted was
Don't run it from desktop for now
Just run it from its folder
As an admin
damn
Yo remi can u help me
ur a god
it opened :]
let me try logging in
Give me a moment then we'll look into your issue
Ok
so
Sup
now i tried loging in with google acc
as i did before it worked
and it aint working
it isnt redirecting me
I personally use a username and a password to login, so I'm not familiar with that
But let me look into it
Which browser are you using?
@remix.99 i did it using username and pasword
sorry and thansk
should i try openign?
valorant
Sure, go for it
damn i need to install
Valorant wasn't installed before?
it was 
It's probably just gonna verify the files then
Since we changed the path
from local disk C to program files
It shouldn't take too long I hope
ill wait
Depending on your HDD / SSD
ill play overwatch for now
i got 1 tb
It's not about the size, it's because SSDs are faster than HDDs
So the time it'll take for an SSD is shorter
Yo
@remix.99 looks good
i think its runing valo now
tysm
for ur time
No problem man, enjoy your game!
Can you describe the issue a bit more?
I messaged u in DMs too
Oh sorry i have dms off let me reply back
Check your dms
my valo is still not working
@remix.99 its taking allot to update
ive been waiting ans there is still no answer
Hey, sorry about the late reply... I completely missed this
Seeing that you're in the game rn, I'd assume that you got it figured out now
nvm
no matter how many times i reboot
