Insane Lag when in menus

I keep getting banned from competitive whenever I try to play. This is because whenever I join, the menu lags EXTREMELY hard. I can barely manage to choose an agent. Sure, I can load in like 3 rounds late, but 92% of the time my team just rewinds. What do I do? I know that my computer / wifi / ping is not the problem as its super laggy in the main menu as well (choosing skins, clicking shop, clicking agents, etc). I am also fine on much higher quality games like COD and CSGO. Does anyone know how to fix the lag? (tell me if u want me to record like a video of it or smth)

Lag in the menus of VALORANT can often be due to software conflicts or outdated drivers. Here's what you can try:

Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. Visit your GPU manufacturer's website for the latest drivers.
Close Background Applications: Close other applications running in the background that might be causing conflicts.
Run VALORANT as Admin: Right-click the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as administrator."
Disable Fullscreen Optimization: Right-click the VALORANT shortcut > Properties > Compatibility tab > Check "Disable fullscreen optimizations."
Check System Requirements: Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for VALORANT.
Check for Windows Updates: Ensure your operating system is fully updated.
Adjust In-Game Settings: Lower in-game graphics settings to see if it reduces menu lag.
Reinstall VALORANT and Riot Client: Uninstall and then reinstall the game and the client.

If the issue persists, it might be best to create a support ticket with Riot Games for further assistance.
