AT THIS POINT VANGUARD IS FUCKEDD UP VAN ERROR -79
Notes: This paragraph contains abusive words due to frustration, but I don’t mean it entirely toward anyone.
Dude, I have been continuously facing this issue for 6 MONTHS. I’ve tried EVERY method on YouTube and from the support team here, but nothing works. I’ve reset my PC EVERY WEEKEND to fix this ANNOYING issue, and randomly it just GOES BAD, and this error pops up.
NO ONE has been able to provide a single solution to this problem.
This morning, I faced it again, so I thought, “FINE, it’s my usual weekend routine.” I reset it, spent my WHOLE DAY installing Valorant, played for 2 HOURS, and then exited to change my name. After that, I went back to the Riot Client and launched it, but it gave me an error: “Unable to create process, received 5.” I tried logging out and EVERYTHING, but it didn’t work. So, I restarted my PC, and then the SAME ERROR hit me AGAIN. I’ve been resetting my PC EVERY WEEK, dude—I’m FRUSTRATED AS HECK. Please understand how this feels as a human.

DONT USE THAT ;VGC MESSAGE I HAVE TRIED THAT LIKE 999+ TIMES
Dude, I’m at my limit—ANYHOW, I NEED someone to help me fix this issue once and for all, or I swear I’ll uninstall Valorant, wipe my PC clean AGAIN, contact Riot Support directly, and maybe even THROW my whole setup out the window if this keeps up! Please, I just want this game to WORK.

A few questions.
1. have you tried a clean boot yet.
2. have you tried a different account yet. (sounds stupid but yes.)
3. have you tried a different internet connection or vpn
4. have you tried deleting vgkbootstatus.dat
5. have you tried disabling all anti virus and firewalls.
