This issue usually occurs due to insufficient permissions or security settings blocking access. Here are some steps you can try:
1. Run as Administrator: Right-click on
VALORANT.exe and select "Run as administrator."
2. Check Permissions:
- Navigate to C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\.
- Right-click VALORANT.exe > Properties > Security tab.
- Ensure your user account has Full control. If not, click "Edit" and grant Full control.
3. Disable Antivirus/Firewall:
- Your antivirus/firewall might be blocking VALORANT. Temporarily disable them and see if it helps.
4. Add Exception to Antivirus/Firewall:
- Add VALORANT.exe as an exception in your antivirus/firewall settings.
5. Reinstall VALORANT:
- Uninstall VALORANT and Riot Vanguard, then reinstall them. Ensure no files are left in the install directory before reinstalling.
