VGK causing other non Riot games to Crash
It used to be Valorant that Crashed with a BSOD error evrytime i Opened it but I fixed that and now every game besides Valorant is Crashing. It seems to only be games that use Unreal Engine 5 at least from what I have tested but this is getting ridiculous that and Anti cheat is destroying my entire PC.

It's unfortunate that you're experiencing these crashes with other games. Riot Vanguard (VGK) is known to sometimes interfere with other software due to its kernel-level operations. Here's a potential fix:
1. Reinstall Riot Vanguard: Uninstall Riot Vanguard via "Add or Remove Programs" on your PC.
2. Restart PC: A fresh restart can clear any lingering issues.
3. Download & Reinstall: Open VALORANT to trigger the Vanguard installation anew.
4. Update Drivers: Ensure all your drivers, especially GPU drivers, are up to date.
5. Check for Conflicts: Temporarily disable or uninstall any other anti-cheat programs that might be conflicting with Vanguard.
If the issue persists, consider creating a support ticket with Riot for more detailed assistance: Riot Games Support.
For Unreal Engine 5 specific crashes, consult the support for those games, as they may have unique conflict resolutions with anti-cheat software.
