Thanks for trying to help

Hell naw a snapdragon processor
Open cmd as admin and type these commands in order
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn
bcdedit.exe /set testsigning off
bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks off
Show result for all 3
I have tried the latter 2 before that did not make a difference, the first command is new to me
Restart ur pc
Done
Open cmd as admin again
Type this command
BCDEDIT /set {current} nx AlwaysOn

Type the 2 in order
Then open riot client
It will give u an update option for valorant
Update it
Restart ur pc after its updated
Yea thats fine
On it
This happens when trying to update
Spam click the update button for like 2 minutes
Allright now its system restart request
good to go?
Yea Restart
Done
Is it still asking for a restart
I'll try
Yes
Eh
U r not using a virtual machine are u?
nono
It's a new laptop
Press win+r
Type services.msc
Press enter
Look for vgc
Right click on vgc
Properties
Change startup type to automatic
Apply
Then start the service
See if it still gives u an error
Yep
Meh
We will need to disable secure boot for a minute
I have done that already, it is the only way I can get the bcdedit commands to execute
It says its on in that screenshot tho
Yes that was before you asked me to run the bcdedit commands, I turned it off inbetween

Ok lets try this
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 - Sysinternals
See what programs are configured to startup automatically when your system boots and you login.
I unchecked most, theres a few that can't be disabled
good enough?
Oh yea, I see you wrote that
Restarting..
Same old
Navigate in your files to "C:\Windows"
Delete the file "vgkbootstatus .dat"
Restart the computer.
Ok so apparently its the processor's fault
Just realized these snapdragon processors have compatibility issues
With alot of games
Especially things with anti cheats like vanguard
But yea just to confirm
ah that sucks, struggling to locate the above mentioned file
@ItsGamerDoc is vanguard compatible with this snapdragon processor or nah?
search has been looking for it for good 5 mins just in the windows folder
"No items match your search"
Yea leave it
U can't get it to run
Ok
So why buy a laptop with a snapdragon processor
It may have been a good choice in future when stuff became compatible with it
But right now u can barely get any online games to run on it
I have a gaming pc, this was for work purchase. I was hoping to at least run some easy games while travelling
Makes sense
Tho should've just went with an intel processor one instead
But anyways
Oh well, has the ship sailed then until Riot makes it Snapdragon compatible?
I will have to leave for the day, happy to pick up more tomorrow, if there is anything to be picked up
I deeply appreciate your time and effort
Yea there is quite literally nothing u can do that i know of
