Riot Client loading so slowly for some reason

whenever i try to open my riot client, it either just doesn’t open or just black screens, i have to keep retrying for 10-15 mins just for it to finally load and whenever i open valo it also usually takes 5 minutes just to load i’ve tried deleting valorant and riot client but it did not resolve anything

Try doing a clean boot Press windows key Search “msconfig” And open “System Configuration” Head to “Services” tab Check “Hide all Microsoft services” And then “Disable all” And find “vgc” and enable that only Open “Task Manager” Then head to “Startup Apps” And disable all Then restart your pc

ok so i tried opening valorant with my phone’s hotspot and it completely opened normally but when i connected my ethernet cable it took 5-10 times longer to open but im not sure whether its a DNS issue or its just the ethernet cable itself
