VAN -79 error

when I try to load up valorant it says VAN -79 error and I tried to google how to fix it but it didn't work as vgc keeps turning off even though I turn it on automatically and it doesn't let me manually enable it

Experiencing the same issue. The main culprit is: "Windows could not start the vgc service on Local Computer. Error 1 : Incorrect function. " Nothing is fixing this. HELP!

could you send me your vanguard logs located in this folder? C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\Logs @WDLucid @WDLucid would you be available to test a hotfix?
