Game doesn't start

Basically I press start and nothing happens. This has been since the last patch. I already tried a complete new install 3 times (Riot Client, Valorang and Vanguard), clearing additional files and registry entries. I have tried to start it in administrator mode. The only indicator that something happens is that in the Task Manager a program called "BottstrapPackagedGame" which promptly disappears before the riot client opens again.
Solution:
@RoachStompah @SmugTheKiler I have found a solution with the help of support! First I had to "win + R" enter "services.msc". Then search vor "vgc", right click and change the startup type to "automatic", click ok and then right click again to start it. After that restart PC then open CMD in administrator and type "sc query vgc", if the result is an "error" you have to reinstall Valorant and Vanguard. If it does return with the name "vgc" enter "net start vgc"....

You can find the log file via the advanced button and clicking on View Logs (orC:\Users\Public\Documents). Check for things that are unsigned because those could do issues because they are outdated or something similar. If THAT didn't help you can do a clean boot (https://support-leagueoflegends.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201761974-Troubleshooting-Game-Crashes#wq7), I recommend to first test your services.
