Sm times valo keep on running in the background even after closing it, not sure why. It takes the same amount of resources as it normally take while running it. Strangely I also observe it consume 9.6 GB gpu memory twice.
Discovery:
I found it out when I opened discord after my game closed and it still showed valorant as playing so I opened the task manager and found it running.
Since:
couple of months.
Specs:
I9-13th gen
