Stuck on loading screen?
For the past couple of hours every time I open val I can't get past the loading screen (Image of screen attached) I left it open while I showered (30+ minutes) and it just stays there.
I've tried deleting it to reinstall it but when i click uninstall it goes to the Riot Client home and does nothing else.
I've tried running it as admin and repairing the install no luck. Also tried restarting my PC and power cycling my pc still no dice.
Any ideas?

I also can't close Val with the typical usages. I have to open my task manager and manually close the task.

This is what task manager has to say about it.
Did you try clicking it twice
This is a common issue and usually happens when VALORANT opens twice for some reason, if you canβt close VALORANT via task manager restart your pc/laptop
Tried that no work
But I will restart again and see
If it doesnβt work lmk
Nope

Did you update ur drivers

Scroll to find the riot games folder then enter it

In there, there should be a VALORANT folder

And look for VALORANT and right click then select open file location
