It sounds like a permissions issue on your C drive. Try the following steps:
1. Run as Admin: Right-click the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as administrator."
2. Check Permissions: Ensure your user account has the necessary permissions. Right-click the game folder (C:\Riot Games\VALORANT) and select "Properties." Go to "Security" and ensure your user account has "Full control."
3. Disable UAC: Temporarily lower User Account Control settings. Search for "UAC" in the start menu and adjust the slider down, then try opening VALORANT.
4. Reinstall: Uninstall VALORANT and reinstall it to see if the permissions reset.
5. Antivirus/Firewall: Ensure your antivirus or firewall isn’t blocking VALORANT. Add it to the exceptions list.
6. Check Disk Health: Your C drive might have issues. Run "chkdsk C: /f /r" in an elevated command prompt (Admin CMD).
If the issue persists, please check or make a ticket on the Riot Games support site for further assistance.
