It sounds like you're facing a couple of issues with updating and uninstalling VALORANT. Here's a step-by-step approach you can try:
1. Clear DNS Cache:
- Press
Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
- Type the following commands one by one and press Enter after each:
2. Riot Client Reset:
- Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), find RiotClientServices and end the task.
- Restart the Riot Client and try to update again.
3. Uninstall Manually:
- Go to C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard and run Uninstall.exe.
- After uninstalling Vanguard, reopen the Riot Client and attempt the update again.
- If uninstalling VALORANT through the normal method doesn't work, use a program like Revo Uninstaller to force uninstall.
4. Check Firewall:
- Ensure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall.
- Steps for various firewalls can be found here.
If these steps don't resolve your issue, consider visiting the Riot Support site for more detailed assistance or to submit a ticket.

it will run normally again
also close your discord
@CoolCat before everything check your windows defender firewall first and see if val is whitelisted
Ok but like I tried closing valorant, restarting my Pc and everything but it only stops exactly at 7%?
thats why i said go do sumn else buddy
dont do shit to it
hv u tried leaving it overnight?
Chill man no need to be toxic
No ill try maybe
TT im not being toxic lmfao
ight
tell me if it doesnt work
Your choice of words isnt very nice but alr
he really wasn't being toxic lol, normally it will do this and then keep downloading, be patient
I mean he said buddy but didnt phrase it nicely and says dont do shit to it like she couldve said that nicer but as I said its fine
A similar problem was happening to me where the client just refused to start updating... It just went round and round in circles... I tried many solutions but it still didn't work so I reinstalled and now its working for me.
literally just being straightforward, don't do shit
Aight
Didnt work tho so yall aint giving useful advice
not doing shit wont help if its a game bug bro
from experience waiting after that has worked several times for me and others, if this advice doesn't work for you then go try something else instead of trying to sound like you're above us with that "not doing shit won't help it it's a game bug bro" lol, also no one else is having the same issue as you
it's most likely a corruption with the riot client or some shit, either way it's only happening to you from what i can see
i suggest completely reinstalling everything related to riot games
also how long did you wait
Few hours
I cant uninstall it tho
Like when I uninstall it it just doesnt work
Alr I force uninstalled it
Now it says it cant access a file needed to update
ss
run riot client as admin
then try installing again
