If Valorant crashes when you alt-tab or switch to another app, try the following solutions:
1. Run as Administrator: Right-click Valorant and the Riot Client, then select "Run as administrator."
2. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. Check the manufacturer's website (NVIDIA/AMD).
3. Lower Graphics Settings: Go to in-game settings and reduce the graphics quality.
4. Disable Fullscreen Optimization: Right-click Valorant's executable file > Properties > Compatibility > Check "Disable fullscreen optimizations."
5. Adjust In-Game Resolution: Make sure your in-game resolution matches your display's native resolution.
6. Switch to Windowed/Borderless Mode: Some users find this mode more stable.
7. Check for Background Applications: Disable unnecessary programs running in the background.
8. Verify Game Files: Go to Riot Client, select Valorant, and find the option to check for game file integrity.
9. Reinstall Valorant: As a last resort, uninstall and reinstall the game.
