wow... never seen this before
it has become really annoying and idk what to do
Reinstall riot client please.
Couldn't find it as a programme to uninstall
also couldn't find anywhere to install the client again
start menu > search "riot client" > click "uninstall" [this will take you to control panel > programs & features]
all I get is this page and when I type riot the client is no where to be found
in the start menu??
from here yeah
then I right click and hit uninstall
yess
yep
that's where client doesn't appear for uninstallment
did it open programs and features?
o wait
sigh
uh oh
windows 11
yep
:val_KekwSob: 😮💨
still know any ways to fix this?? 😭
2 more ways
aight
hit me
so far I've tried run as admin and the compatability thing and nothing so far
i would recommend installing "revo uninstaller"... you should be able to do it from there...

non neccecary
once done... open it
this happened when I tried to boot the non portable version
so I just got portable
and the client still ain't there
whatever works
hiding or something
and I don't think deleting vanguard is a good idea
i get this:
ignore the repair tool
if this isnt working either... last option
hit me
search for riot client in start menu again
click this
yep
if i am not wrong, it shld take you to : "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Riot Games"
yep
now right click riot client option > click open file location
👍
then...
drumroll
moment of anticipation
just delete the "Riot Games" folder from C:/
all of this?
damn
Si
well from here
hopefully this works
correct
also follow these steps after
Use the combination Windows+R and to open the Run window.
In the Run window, type %programdata% to go to the folder (C:\ProgramData)
Try to find the "Riot Games" folder. If it is there, you can delete the folder.
Then again run Windows+R
In the Run window, type %localappdata%.
If the "Riot Games" and "VALORANT" folders are there, delete both folders.
and just empty the bin now?
if you want to
ohh
so I don't have to?
i like to keep my bin clean so i empty it
and I also wanna be able to play league too
will I also delete?
not sure
but you can reinstall after

Step 3: Click the Uninstall a program link from Programs.
Step 4: Scroll down all the features and programs to find Riot Vanguard and VALORANT, right-click on each one and choose Uninstall.
