If VALORANT isn't launching despite your laptop being up to date, try the following steps:
1. Check Firewall/Antivirus: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall and antivirus software. Refer to this guide for more details: Your Firewall VS VALORANT.
2. Restart Riot Client and Vanguard: Restart VALORANT and the Riot Client. If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall Riot Vanguard.
3. Update Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers and Windows OS are fully updated.
4. Run as Administrator: Try running the Riot Client and VALORANT as an administrator.
5. Check Background Software: Close any unnecessary background programs that could interfere with VALORANT, especially those that are known to conflict with Vanguard.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, creating a ticket with Riot Games Support may be the best course of action.
