To follow up I press the play button, after 5-10 secs am back to valorant screen in the riot client with the play button
No error code or crash?
Nothing. The app just shows in task manager and then goes off
Please press win + r. Then, enter msinfo32. Then, send a photo of the app that opens
Please press win + r. Then, enter tpm.msc. Then, send a photo of the app that opens
Make the tpm.msc window a bit bigger

Open the file named VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe
(Note: it couldnt ask for admin)
Right click the .exe
Open properties
Go to security tab
Then go to advanced
Then, send a photo

Hello, im playing valorant for the first time and i keep running into this version of valorant requires secure boot and all my bios settings are corrrect
It should autofill to "DESKTOP-SKQJ8FN\Admin"
Open your own post
d
yes it autofilled
oh sorry
apply, ok, ok
did
then, send a photo of this
give the top one full control
yeah
actually modify only is enough
its not
Ok then do this
inherited permissions included them
same issue
this is what the installer will do for u
I click on update but it aint updating
And shiw back the update option
Its still saying this?
yes
not sure if the repair feature will fix the permission for u
but on initial install and u chose a path that valorant files alr exists, then yeah
wait
It just repeating thus
hm do you have more then one valorant install
Make your own post!
Ok
follow the permission fix here
i uninstalled it and deleted the riot games folder. then install it.
how do i check for multiple instances?
Nvm
Try launching the .exe as an admin
same 😦
Launch though riot client
u shouldnt run the executable directly
run from riot client
:D
um the video got cut. anyway i press the play button
and in 5 secs am back to this screen
i wanted to capture it but sadly cannot
i see the bootstrappedpackagedgame (in the bottom for some time and then its goes)
Have you messed with the admin settings or compatibility settings?
there was a troubleshooter pop in which i think compatibility settings was applied.
But i am facing this same thing as soon as i installed the update
Should i fresh install the game and try ur security settings?
Yes
third time. lets go. see u in 30
Delete everything
having to do with riot
Vanguard, Riot client, Valorant
the installer will do it for u
well since u are going to reinstall
i recommend u to do a clean install
delete all riot games and valorant or any related folders
after u uninstalled
leftovers in %localappdata%, c:\program data\
files in program files folder should be removed iirc
only the root folder will be left there
and then gone
same thing
one thing i noticed is once i try to launch valorant, my razor central app tries to clear some ram in the background. is it related?
no
it does that becuz it detected a game was started
also that's cortex, not central app
ok so valo worked after two things:
1. unticking the run as admin for riot client
2. updating to the lastest windows 11 23H2. it was 23H1 before
thanks @Saucywan and @mythea
