This issue is likely related to Riot Vanguard, VALORANT's anti-cheat system, which sometimes requires a system restart to function properly, especially on new installations or new PCs. Here are a few steps to mitigate this ongoing restart requirement:
1. Reinstall Riot Vanguard:
- Open Control Panel and go to "Programs and Features."
- Find "Riot Vanguard," right-click and select "Uninstall."
- Restart your PC manually.
- Launch VALORANT; it should automatically reinstall Riot Vanguard.
2. Run VALORANT as Administrator:
- Right-click the VALORANT shortcut.
- Select "Run as administrator."
3. Check for Pending System Updates:
- Go to Windows Update settings and ensure your system is fully up-to-date.
4. Verify Secure Boot and TPM:
- These settings might need enabling. Follow the support articles:
- Secure Boot/TPM issues
- Windows 11 specific issues
If the issue persists, consider submitting a ticket to Riot Games Support for further assistance.
