I solved it, it turns out that the VGC service was stopped and I couldn't start it manually because it was giving me an error. What I did was to enter the following commands in CMD as administrator and restart the PC: bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF bcdedit -set NOINTEGRITYCHECKS OFF I don't know if this will work for you but that's what just worked for me. Check in services if VGC is set to Manual or Automatic. If it is set to Manual you should right click on properties and change it to Automatic.

The problem is in the VGC service, can't start manually too, but the CMD is not resolving it

I tried running those commands but I ran into these errors. Also had the same issue of being unable to start vgc, likely because of this problem here. Anyone know what to do? Or should I just wait until this gets patched lol

You must disable Secure Boot Control from the BIOS, I recommend that you look for a video so you can see the process. If you don't want to mess with it, then wait for a fix :/.

Open vgtray, if the icon is glowing yellow, delete the file that the background is complaining about, reboot the pc, repeat the actions If it doesn't work, reinstall the valorant
