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
it worked thank you
@Jidat when i press start it didnt work

can you send me your vanguard logs please
how do i do that
C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\Logs
if you could zip up that folder and send it to me that would be great

here is my logs if that helps anything idk

@junimo apologies for the inconvenience but did you find anything?
hmmm the logs look really weird, let's wait for the hotfix that's being rolled out now and see if that fixes it for you
if it still doesn't work we can try something else
dam
i gave a temp solution in the thread under
alr alr thanks
alr
where
i cant find it
i appreciate you for helping junimo
@junimo js msg me here whenever the hotfix finishes
it's being deployed globally, might take a few hours for the update to reach you
but if riot client shows an update for valorant that should be it
it did show an update
but
whenever i pressed it
it js sent the same message again
this
can you check the file version of C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\vgk.sys
right click vgk.sys -> properties -> details -> file version
@mr daren

ok you got the new version for sure, hmmm wonder what went wrong
can you open command prompt and enter
sc query vgk
wait wait
before i do that
im gonna try the vgc thingy
and press start
and see if it works
give me 1 sec
ima restart my pc
it'd mess up the vanguard logs and make things harder to diagnose
it's better to do a clean run and get the logs so we can figure out exactly what went wrong
alr
it didnt open anything
should say something like this

is this the update with the fix

yes
nothing
show screenshot of command prompt
ima retry
hollup

ok that looks good
can you send me your latest vanguard logs?
alr wait
