The "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file" error may indicate a permission issue or that your antivirus/firewall is blocking access. Here are steps to resolve it:
1. Check File Path:
- Ensure the game files are in the correct directory and not moved/removed accidentally.
2. Run as Administrator:
- Right-click the VALORANT shortcut or executable and select “Run as administrator.”
3. Antivirus/Firewall Settings:
- Temporarily disable your antivirus/firewall and try launching the game. If it works, add an exception for VALORANT.
4. Permissions:
- Right-click the game executable, go to Properties -> Security tab -> Edit. Ensure your user has "Full control."
5. Reinstall VALORANT:
- Uninstall and reinstall VALORANT through the official site to ensure all files are intact.
6. Check User Account Control (UAC):
- Lower UAC settings temporarily to reduce prompts.
7. Check the Path/File Name:
- Ensure the path is correct and does not contain any special characters that might cause issues.
