Valorant freezing
Hi. Everytime I boot up the game it freezes. However, when I click alt tab, it shows that the game has moved onto another screen. For example, moving from the menu to the queue. The problem is that I can't interact at all with anything. Its. Just. Frozen. I'm trying to uninstall right now by using "add or remove programs" on Windows 11, but the app legit doesn't uninstall. I've deleted all the valorant folders but the application itself still remains. I can't get rid of it, it won't let me uninstall it. Don't really know what to do.

* Open the system tray
* Right-click the Vanguard logo and click ‘Exit Vanguard’.
* Head over to the Windows search bar and type ‘Control Panel’.
* Select the ‘Programs’ tab and then click ‘Uninstall a program’ at the bottom of the list.
* Search for Valorant under the list of programs.
* Select ‘Uninstall’ to remove the game from your PC.
alright thanks
Im gonna do that for the third time today 😭
also I clicked uninstall and it didn't uninstall
i exited vanguard as well
@Mix (They/Them) sorry this is a big ask but may I screenshare?
I am sorry I cannot screenshare. Try uninstalling Vangaurd.
* Open CMD and type these commands: "sc delete vgc" and "sc delete vgk"
* Restart your PC
* After that, go to this location — C:\PROGRAM FILES\
* Now, delete the Riot Vanguard folder. This will successfully remove Valorant from your system.
it will remove valorant + vanguard or only vanguard?

if you have 2 drivers check which one is SSD and which one is HDD
download Valorant to the SSD driver
