Valorant Will Not Open

I have had a problem for a few days now where whenever I try to open Valorant it will take me to the initial loading screen before autmoatically closing the application after about 15 seconds. I cannot even get to the lobby, nevermind into a game. The application simply will not open. I have watched numerous videos and even emailed Riot support, but after trying everything they recommended the problem has persisted. I went to the point of reinstalling the game, making a new Riot account, and even factory resetting my computer, the application still closes after 10-15 seconds of the initial loading screen. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

Download auto runs from the system internal suite https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns When you have it open press file, and then run as administrator Then uncheck anything that is red or yellow Except Vanguard and anything that fails to be unchecked Restart your computer and then try the game again

brayden
braydenOP5mo ago
i click play on the riot client, the introductory loading screen pops up and it makes the startup noise and then after going silent and staying in that loading screen for anywhere from 5-10 seconds it closes the application without any message and it only happens with calorwnt *valorant every other game runs smoothly
