Process still running
Recently, I reinstalled valorant because of some issues. After trying to reinstall valorant, this error popped out. I tried closing all Riot related programs, nothing worked. Even tried to uninstall all Riot Games files in my laptop. That didn't worked either. Tried solutions from youtube, also didn't worked either.
Solution
It sounds like you're dealing with a process still running in the background that's preventing VALORANT from starting correctly. Try these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Close all Riot processes: Press
2. Delete remaining Riot files:
- Navigate to
- Delete VALORANT and Riot Client folders typically found in
3. Restart your computer.
4. Reinstall VALORANT and Vanguard:
- Download and install Riot Vanguard first from the VALORANT installer (it should prompt you).
- Then continue with the VALORANT installation.
5. Check for additional software conflict: Ensure that you don't have any anti-cheat or other security software running that could conflict with Riot Vanguard. Temporarily disable them if necessary.
6. Run as Administrator: When launching the installer or the game, right-click and select "Run as administrator."
If these steps don't resolve the problem, you might want to check for updates on the Riot support page or submit a ticket for further assistance.
