It looks like you're experiencing an error while trying to update VALORANT. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

Restart the Riot Client: Close the Riot Client completely and restart it.
Run as Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as Administrator."
Clear Cache: Clear the cache by deleting the content in the following folders:
- %localappdata%/Riot Games/Riot Client/v1/%localappdata%/Riot Games/Riot Client/v1/
- %localappdata%/VALORANT/Saved/%localappdata%/VALORANT/Saved/
Check Firewall/Antivirus: Ensure that your firewall or antivirus isn’t blocking VALORANT. You can add VALORANT and the Riot Client to the whitelist.
Network Issues: Sometimes network issues can cause update errors. Try restarting your router or switch to a wired connection if possible.
Reinstall VALORANT: Completely uninstall VALORANT and the Riot Client, then reinstall them from the official website.

If the issue persists, contact Riot Support for more detailed help: Riot Support.
