The error "Process already running" indicates that the installation process cannot proceed because a Riot Client process is still active. Here are steps to resolve this:
1. Close Riot Processes: Press
Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager. Look for any Riot-related processes (like RiotClientServices.exe) and end them.
2. Restart PC: Sometimes, a simple restart can clear any stuck processes.
3. Check Background Processes: Ensure no background Riot processes are running. You might need to check Services.msc for any related services that might be in the background.
4. Reattempt Installation: After ensuring all processes are closed, try reinstalling the Riot Client and VALORANT.
If the issue persists, consider performing a clean boot to prevent any startup processes from interfering. More details on clean boot here: Microsoft Support.
