There are more stages
That is stage 1
ok
delte this folder and reinstall may solve it
dont delete it directly
u are going to have registry leftover if u do
first delete on control panel
then delte
yes
no delete the appdata too
C:\Users\adhya\AppData
Windows will do that
settings-apps if u want a modern looking one
no it will stay there
i had this problem
thats the installer/uninstaller problem
i kept trying and finnaly i deleted the app data
what u should do to uninstall an app properly:
1. uninstall using the uninstaller(settings-apps
2. delete leftover
Why are we deleting riot?
We know the problem
Riot Vanguard isnt running??

:/
done
Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
No further action is required.
so now i reinstall valo?
No, please restart your pc
ok
now?
do this again
if u cant see it, go to settings-apps
find riot vanguard, uninstall it
and run riot client as admin(u can just run the valo shortcut, and then let it install vanguard
can't find it
do this!
it take 10 seconds to install vanguard?
done
yes
can u run the game without issue now?
still the same error
uninstall the game completely
then reinstall
ok
^
after that im going to check if the vanguard driver is running at boot @mythea
leftovers are in
%appdata%
%userprofile%/appdata/local
c:/program data/
c:/program files/ (and maybe the x86 folder
via services
vgc wont run until u start the game
that one all time running is vgk
One of the steps I found was to start it as auto
delete everything related to riot
valorant config files, riot client, and vanguard
use shift+del btw
easier for life
and yeah your right i didnt mean to say at boot
no need to check trashbin
I have to Uninstsall vanguard?
yeah
ok
uninstall vanguard, valorant and riot client
then delete leftovers
how long will it take to Uninstall riot client
very fast
Not that long
that one time consuming is installing
can I Uninstall it from contro panel
control*
yes
its same
ok
from the settings-apps
I will come back again when valorant is installed
got it
1.2mb per seecond
i clicked pause and then it started to install again from starting
I will be unable to help you until tomorrow morning
As it is 5 AM and I’m going to bed
it's ok cux for me it will take long time to download valorant again
