Riot Vanguard not noticed?
I had tried to reinstall Valorant multiple times ALL do get this CrudGuard app installed on the correct disk, I finally give up and even though it's installed and working, this shows up?

Have you tried restarting once?
I have tried restarting four times.
Usually reinstalling vanguard is the way :AG_SubaThink:
;vgc
- Open the Task Manager > Details tab
- End the task on all VALORANT, Riot Client and VANGUARD-related apps/services
- Open the Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
- Uninstall Riot VANGUARD
- Open CMD as Admin and type these commands:
- sc delete vgc
- sc delete vgk
- Navigate to your C: Drive, then Program Files
- Find the VANGUARD folder and delete it
- Open the Riot Client and click update
- Restart your computer after the update
After you’re done with that:
- Press Windows key + R
- Type services.msc
- Look for vgc
- Right-click on vgc > Properties
- Change the startup type to automatic
- Start the services (if not started already)
We will be waiting for your response, thank you.
I had recently taken a walk outside but before then I had chosen to reinstall it my 16th time however... I had no idea about vgc? I followed everything through and restarted Riot Games.
IT WORKS!!! Thank you so much. 🤣🤩🎉
Riot Vanguard isn't initialized, hopefully a restart after vgc running fixes it.
Nope, now I am finally allowed to join but

Did you follow the second steps as well
Press windows key + r
Type services.msc
Look for vgc
Right click > properties
Change startup type to auto
And start the service
Yes I have indeed.
Now I am instead trying to reinstall Valorant/Vanguard.
Try this
Go to services
Start the vgc service first
And then try the game
Before I do, I'll check if reinstalling Vanguard after vgc's fix can possibly save it, installing Valorant right now. Once it's done I restart and try again.
If it doesn't work then I'll try your last option.
Tried it and nope.
Same new problem.
Check something rq
When you click on start in services, does it actually start ?

Perhaps once I start Valorant however it shuts down.
Because I have started it about seven times now.
It does say if it keeps happening you gotta update your drivers
Open task manager > performance

Gpu model name on top, what does that say
If it has something to do with Nvidia then I guess that it would make sense, I can't open their app and I tried to reinstall everything Nvidia-related recently.
I was just told that I have this card connected or something so I tried to get this version.

Alright
Press windows key
Type installed apps and open it
From there delete Everything related to nvidia
Then
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/
go here^ and in the manual search,
Enter your GPU and OS and download the driver
NVIDIA
Download The Latest Official NVIDIA Drivers
Download the latest official NVIDIA drivers to enhance your PC gaming experience and run apps faster.
Alrighty, all of the Nvidia apps uninstalled.
Now I have a problem where I am mentioned in the series-category that there is RTX 30 and MX300 ... I suppose that RTX 30 is it seeing how I still have RTX in the name of my card? Even though they say 30 instead of 3060?
And it's not notebooks hmm?
Nevermind everything apart from my question about notebooks.

Yes that’s the right 1

Game ready
GeForce Game Ready Driver 572.70 | Windows 10 64-bit

Yup
Click on download

Apparently it got deleted with myself trying to delete a different file. Now it works, double-clicked it and now they ask me if I want the driver files to be saved in C or D.
I have C connected to all of my games and D connected to everything else. Shall I still go for C with it do you think?
Yeah sure go with C
And I suppose that I shall get the app too?

Yup first option
Next
Sorry, took a break to eat a few nuts. Installed entirely and I don't want to make a desktop shortcut but instead I try to open the app, I get this??

Did you restart pc after installing?
I guess that I'll try now, had reinstalled Nvidia previously because of this same reason but now I'll try once more to restart I guess.
I hope it works!
I restarted and BOY it was heck a lot of loading untill

I make VGC run once more.
Alright try running Val

I reopened the Services window and VGC isn't running anymore either.
Open device manager
Expand display adapters

Update driver, "search automatically for drivers" my best drivers are already installed.
Yay...
Eh
We’ll try deleting using ddu and reinstall and see if it works
First check if you have any windows updates
Loading for quite some time.
Untill now.

Alright let’s try deleting nvidia drivers using ddu and reinstalling
