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?

Extend windows logs

Then match the time of the errors shown there with the time of the game crash
this is what pops up, im going to open valorant again and see what pops up at the top of the list
nothing new popped up in under applications
Hmm
Open the riot games folder
Then valorant >live>shootergame>binaries>win64 and open valorant win 64 shipping
sorry, i dont know if this is important but under system logs there are warnings popping up that say application specific at the time of the game crashes
Hm warnings don't usually mean anything
and this happens when i try to open valorant win 64 shipping
Right click on valorant win64 shipping

Do the same for valorant.exe present in the valorant folder please
Also riot client services present in the riot client folder

Yep
Run the compatibility trouble shooter for valorant and valorant win64 shipping
Then go to their properties again and uncheck every box in compatibility tab

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
Autoruns for Windows - Sysinternals
See what programs are configured to startup automatically when your system boots and you login.
this is where i am, what should i press?
Press extract all
Then open
so uncheck these?
Yup
the yellow and red ones only?
Yup
ok
how do i apply the changes?
or can i just close out?
ok i restarted my computer and ran the game again and it still would not open\
How long untill it closes?
Any other errors?
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
Open cmd as admin
Enter
Then enter
Then send a photo
