A black screen when starting VALORANT can be due to various issues. Please try the following steps to resolve it:
1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up-to-date.
2. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as Administrator."
3. Disable Fullscreen Optimization: Right-click VALORANT, go to Properties > Compatibility tab, and check "Disable fullscreen optimizations."
4. Check Compatibility Mode: In the same tab, ensure the game isn't set to run in compatibility mode.
5. Adjust In-Game Settings: If you can get into the game, set the game to windowed mode and lower graphics settings.
6. Whitelist VALORANT in Antivirus: Ensure your antivirus isn't blocking the game.
7. Reinstall VALORANT: As a last resort, a fresh installation can sometimes solve persistent issues.
