Disable your antivirus and exclude VALORANT in Windows Firewall Open up your Windows search bar or Start menu, and type in Windows Defender Firewall. Click on the first item that comes up and choose Allow a program through Windows Firewall. Choose Change Settings. ... Select Allow another app and locate the installation folder for VALORANT .exe and click on OK. ... Check all the boxes for VALORANT on the firewall exceptions and click OK.

do i also need to add an exclusion for windows defender?
! delta
! delta11mo ago
I would recommend to turn it off during the installation. Otherwise it may block something during the installation which will create issues.
Leon
LeonOP11mo ago
with installation you mean the client should just start installing vanguard once the defender is off?
! delta
! delta11mo ago
That's correct. Once the installation is done then you should normally be able to put the defender back. <:Gekko_Wingman_Pat:1154719023758577684>

How can I find the folder with valorant.exe
! delta
! delta11mo ago
Install it again from the website would be better in case the defender deleted some parts of the client.
Leon
LeonOP11mo ago
do i put valorant.exe as the exception? I cant put the whole folder
! delta
! delta11mo ago
Yep. Would be better to turn off all the anti-virus protections during the installation.
Leon
LeonOP11mo ago
Alright so.. It isn't working

This is what I'm getting and clicking update doesn't help I don't have any other anti viruses, I turned off windows security too Do I restart my pc before trying to update with the security off?

This means that vanguard isn't installing correctly. Have you tried reintalling vanguard yet? If not: Open Command Prompt in Administrator Type command “sc delete vgc” and press Enter. Type command “sc delete vgk” and press Enter. Close the Command Prompt and then restart your PC. Go to the C:/ProgramFiles/ and delete the Riot Vanguard Restart your pc Relaunch Valorant and it will say that you need to relaunch for Vanguard to install.

LeonOP11mo ago

I'm honestly thinking of installing the game on my laptop and zipping the folder to myself on my pc maybe that works
Saucywan
Saucywan11mo ago
Still do this please: Open Command Prompt in Administrator Type command “sc delete vgc” and press Enter. Type command “sc delete vgk” and press Enter.
