Riot Vanguard, VALORANT's anti-cheat system, is designed to ensure a fair and cheat-free environment. To achieve this, it operates at a kernel level, providing it the ability to monitor unusual or unauthorized modifications and behaviors that may indicate cheating. This includes checking files and processes to detect and prevent cheating software. Regarding screenshots, Riot Vanguard does not take or capture screenshots of your computer. The primary role of Vanguard is to prevent and detect cheating, and while it does require substantial access to your system to do so effectively, it does not involve intrusive activities like taking screenshots. For a more detailed explanation of how Vanguard works and its security measures, you can refer to Riot's official documentation: Riot Vanguard.
