If any1 can help me its much appreciated
Reinstall your gpu drivers
Open task manager > performance tab
Show ss
of my GPU yea?

my GPU 0 is an Intel UHD graphics im not sure how to switch it and use the NVIDIA one
Does your rtx 4060 get used when u used to play valorant/when it worked or even if you start it up?
like does it show the % of usage?
Yes it did get used when valorant used to work
i never really checked those 😅
Can you start valorant via administrator right now?
while having the task manager open
yes I can try
even if the valorant screen still is black if it has any usage on the rtx 4060 it could either be a gpu problem or u might have the same problem as me since i kind of have something similar
but with me its just shows 2 black small screens and then goes straight to a error message val -79
it being gpu 0 means literally nothing
reinstall your gpu drivers
yea it uses my 4060

That reinstall right?
can you uninstall with display driver Uninstaller
also uninstall windows graphic drivers
how?
download ddu
im sorry im not good with laptops 0_0
display driver Uninstaller
Wait then it might be i have a problem with the gpu driver 🤔
also idk which this is but when you reinstall drivers get a stable version not newest it should tell you which is which
as for windows drivers I'll send u a link just tell me your processor
Oh this is NVIDIA's app
yea you should get an option
for downloading either stable or newest
anyway uninstall first
When I try to run DDU
it says extract
when I extrct it
it asks me to extract it again
and its a loop
uh no
after extracting one file should be
an application file
has a black and white icon
if I remmeber correctly

This is what I have
when click on it
it asks me to extract again
yeah that should work
show me
asking to extract an app file the hell
why is 7zip opening it
ihnc
no clue
whatsoever
also there should be a lot more files than that why is it only one

ok I got it
thank God
Do I close this or chose smth

Just close it

afterwards select gpu and uninstall then Intel (or AMD if your processor is by AMD) and uninstall
then reinstall your drivers
on the right select device type
yea i clicked GPU
and Nividia
ok yeah I think u get how it works
Just uninstall gpu and windows drivers reinstall them and tell me if it works

I tried that it said it couldnt update
Ahh
Select GPU
NVIDIA
Then clean and restart
yay meta here
I can leave now
ðŸ˜
Goodluck with everyone

After your pc restarts

Nothing to do with windowed mode
Delete the driver again and you’ll see it won’t load

Well it was not lmao this happens alot with players
Bruh deleting the driver wont even do tasks you sound like 5 year old
I said reinstalling drivers dont work usually you just delete and install them again that doesnt work in most of the cases
Right click on the text channel and click delete
