Has anyone else ever had this issue? I've updated my drivers updated to windows 11, reinstalled it several times, ran as administrator, etc.

If VALORANT won't get past the startup screen, there are several steps you can take to resolve this issue:
1. Check Vanguard: Sometimes, it's an issue with Vanguard. Uninstall Riot Vanguard and reinstall VALORANT, which will also reinstall Vanguard.
2. Network Settings: Run the following commands in an Admin Command Prompt to reset network settings:
-
netsh int ip reset
- ipconfig /release
- ipconfig /renew
- ipconfig /flushdns
- netsh winsock reset
3. Firewall Settings: Ensure VALORANT and Riot Client are allowed through your firewall. Details here.
4. Background Applications: Disable any unnecessary background applications that might conflict with VALORANT or Vanguard.
5. Run in Compatibility Mode: Try running VALORANT in compatibility mode for Windows 10.
6. Secure Boot/TPM: Ensure these settings are correctly configured in your BIOS if you've recently switched to Windows 11. More info here.
7. System Requirements: Verify that your system meets the minimum requirements for Windows 11.
If the problem persists, it might be useful to submit a support ticket with Riot Games for further assistance.
