The error message indicates there was an issue installing the Vanguard anti-cheat system. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:
1. Restart Your PC: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve installation issues.
2. Run as Administrator: Try running the VALORANT installer as an administrator. Right-click on the installer and select "Run as administrator."
3. Disable Antivirus/Firewall: Sometimes, security software can interfere with the installation. Temporarily disable your antivirus/firewall and try installing again.
4. Check Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows operating system is up to date. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.
5. Manually Install Vanguard: You can try to manually install the Vanguard anti-cheat system. Navigate to the VALORANT installation directory and find the "vgc" or "Vanguard" executable, and run it.
6. Reinstall VALORANT: Uninstall VALORANT completely, including the Vanguard anti-cheat system, and then try reinstalling the game.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Riot's player support for further assistance.

Download autoruns

See what programs are configured to startup automatically when your system boots and you login.
When you run it go to file and then run as a administrator
what is it
Slowly, everything will populate
It’s specifies in the embed
Or you can search it up yourself
Once everything populates unchecked anything that is red or yellow. If it fails to be unchecked, ignore it.
Then restart your pc
done
Try the game again
still the same :/
Oh
Ok
Spam click the update button
/ retry
They’ve had this glitch for a bit where you just need to consistently try again
So if you just spam, click it, it should work hopefully
nope
thanks for the help tho
Don’t worry, I still have more
Delete the following paths: C:\Riot Games, %localappdata%\Riot Games, %programdata%\Riot Games
Reinstall the game with the firewall and antivirus disabled
I'll try it after I take a shower
Ok
I js tried still didnt work :/
You disabled your firewall antivirus, correct?
