Solution
It sounds like you're facing issues with fullscreen mode in VALORANT. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Visit the website of your GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) for the latest drivers.
  2. Adjust In-Game Settings: Try switching to fullscreen mode through the in-game settings and then adjusting the resolution.
  3. Disable Fullscreen Optimizations:
    • Right-click on VALORANT’s shortcut or executable.
    • Go to Properties > Compatibility tab.
    • Check "Disable fullscreen optimizations."
    • Click Apply and OK.
  4. Reset Game Settings:
    • Locate the game settings file (typically found in C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\VALORANT\Saved\Config).
    • Delete the config file, and then restart the game. This will force the game to reset to default settings.
  5. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT icon and select "Run as administrator."
If these steps do not work, reinstall Valorant as a last resort. Also, consider submitting a ticket to Riot Games Support for further assistance.
