Lag when loading into a game

So I just started to play Valorant again after a year. Everything is fine but when I want to get into the match my game lags and stays on loading for a few minutes. Then I get into already started game and get a warning. I am scared that my account will get banned because of that. How can I fix it?

I think I only have ssd Should it be installed on C? I have it on D Wdm? Should I install it again on C? Okay I did that, should I try now to play? Can I use bots to check if it will load alright? The mode with bots I mean My god the game loads so slowly too sigh It loaded maybe a little faster

Just look at the size of riot games folder Also u should keep like atleast 30% of the drive free on which ur OS is installed Just a recommendation

around 30 or like 35 40 stock winblows win11 24h2 insider builds have it optimized to like less 20gb(no bloats, and yes they finally removed deprecated shit ask google windows itself, including pagefile(virtual ram/swap file), some programs, installer cache files, etc oh btw search winsxs cleanup microsoft learn
