When you're unable to update VALORANT and restarting your computer doesn't fix the problem, try the following steps: 1. Run as Administrator: - Right-click the VALORANT icon and select "Run as administrator." 2. Disable Firewall/Antivirus: - Temporarily disable your firewall or antivirus program as they might be blocking the update. 3. Check Permissions: - Ensure that the Riot Client and VALORANT folders are not set to "read-only". - Navigate to the installation directory, right-click on the folders, and go to Properties > Uncheck "read-only". 4. Clear Cache: - Clear the cache of the Riot Client. You can do this by: - Navigating to \AppData\Local\Riot Games\Riot Client\, and deleting the Cache folder. 5. Reinstall Vanguard: - Uninstall Riot Vanguard, restart your computer, and then launch VALORANT again to reinstall it automatically. 6. Update Drivers: - Ensure all your drivers, especially network drivers, are up-to-date. 7. Use a VPN: - Sometimes using a VPN can bypass network issues that might be preventing the update. If none of these steps work, you may need to reach out to Riot Games' Support Team directly or follow the support links provided: player support team.

Download auto runs from the system internal suite https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns When you have it open press file, and then run as administrator Then uncheck anything that is red or yellow Except Vanguard and anything that fails to be unchecked Restart your computer and then try the game again
