DFound the solution: clean-up the files from Vanguard in order to do a clean reinstall:
• Delete the file at C:\Windows\vgkbootstatus.dat
• Download Revo Uninstaller, look for Riot Vanguard, and uninstall it (make sure to search thoroughly, but if Vanguard doesn't show up in the list, you can skip this step)
• Open the Windows search, look for Command Prompt, and right click ➪ Run as admin
• Type or copy/paste the following commands (do each of them separately):
sc delete vgc
sc delete vgk
• Afterwards, do a reboot - please note that clicking "Shut down" is not the same as "Restart" (Windows does not do a full reboot if you click the "Shut down" button)
• Now, open the VALORANT shortcut again in order to reinstall Vanguard (you might need to restart the PC once again during this process)
When in revo uninstaller and uninstalling vanguard, make sure to click the option to delete the leftover files/registery key files
