It sounds like you're experiencing persistent issues with Riot Vanguard that require a system restart to play VALORANT. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and resolve this:
1. Reinstall Riot Vanguard:
- Open the Run dialog by pressing
Win + R, type appwiz.cpl, and hit Enter.
- Find "Riot Vanguard" in the list, select it, and click on Uninstall.
- If the uninstallation fails, try restarting your PC and attempt the uninstallation again.
2. Reinstall VALORANT:
- After successfully uninstalling Riot Vanguard, go ahead and uninstall VALORANT as well following the same steps as above.
- Restart your PC after uninstalling both.
3. Clean Reinstall:
- Download the latest version of VALORANT from the official site and install it. Riot Vanguard will reinstall automatically with VALORANT.
- Ensure you have administrative privileges while installing.
4. Allow VALORANT through Firewall:
- Make sure VALORANT and Riot Vanguard are allowed through your firewall and antivirus software.
5. System Updates:
- Verify that your Windows OS is up to date.
