Game doesn't launch after update
Yesterday I updated valorant and it can't launch now, I tried so many things like launching valorant as administrator, reinstalling valorant and vanguard, updating my drivers and Windows, watched all kinds of yt tutorials, basically everything but nothing works

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble launching VALORANT after the update. Since you've already tried various troubleshooting steps, let's focus on a few additional potential solutions:
1. Kill Riot Processes: Open Task Manager and ensure there are no Riot/VALORANT-related processes running. If there are, end them and try launching the game again.
2. Clean Boot: Perform a clean boot to rule out third-party software conflicts. Restart your PC in clean boot mode and then try launching VALORANT. Instructions here (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-925e454d-210a-94ff-0622-3cde7c87114b)
3. Firewall/Antivirus: Double-check to make sure both Windows Firewall and your antivirus software are not blocking VALORANT. Adding exceptions manually may help.
4. Check Riot Support: Consult the Riot Games support page for any ongoing issues and up-to-date troubleshooting steps: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us
If these steps still don't work, there might be a deeper issue possibly related to the latest update itself. Submitting a ticket to Riot Support with detailed information about your issue would be the most effective next step.
