It sounds like VALORANT or its processes might be stuck running in the background, preventing you from updating or uninstalling it. Here's a step-by-step guide to resolve this:
1. End Background Processes: Press
Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager. Look for any Valorant or Riot-related processes (e.g., RiotClientServices.exe, VALORANT.exe, Riot Vanguard (VGC)) and end them.
2. Run as Administrator: Try running the VALORANT installer or uninstaller as an administrator. Right-click the setup/uninstall file and select "Run as administrator".
3. Use Riot Games Uninstall Tool: If the above steps don't work, use the Riot Games Uninstall Tool which you can find on the official Riot Games support page.
If these steps don't work, check the Riot Games Support site for more detailed troubleshooting or create a ticket for support: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us.
