Vanguard failing to install

Hello! I did a BIOS update using a USB today, which worked out successfully, only problem is that I can no longer play Valorant. At first the Riot Vanguard still existed in my Auto-Start-Up, as well as within the programs that I can remove! After several attempts of the client telling me to start, even after I checked multiple times to ensure my Vanguard was on, I reinstalled the game. Tldr: Now the game won't install Vanguard, I fully removed all the games files, reinstalled it twice, and Vanguard won't even show up in my files anymore, it refuses to get downloaded, just a "Restart your PC bla bla" as an answer, nowhere to be found in the Start-Up or Programs πŸ˜”
Solution:
Looks like we just need to do a reinstall of vanguard

Game fully functioned before I did the BIOS update, I even reverted the update, still same result All other games I play work, just this one isn't Windows 10 btw Also recently used AMD Adrenaline to fully install drivers, so I dunno, was fully working yesterday and all the days prior

There's no actual error message, just tells me to restart my game (assuming it wants to install Vanguard) when I'm on the client Since it's not present on my pc after I updated my bios Done it like 10 times Reverted the bios update, wiped the files, tried to repair the client had the error before when I forgot to turn on Vanguard in AutoStartUp, but in this case it won't even install onto my pc hope that makes sense 😭
