didnt work

same issu
Download auto runs from the system internal suite
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
When you have it open press file, and then run as administrator
Then uncheck anything that is red or yellow
Except Vanguard and anything that fails to be unchecked
Restart your computer and then try the game again
Autoruns - Sysinternals
See what programs are configured to startup automatically when your system boots and you login.
@Icarus
i downloaded it
Follow all the steps ^

its this file/
what do i do after/
Run the first app
which app?
val?
Autoruns


like this?
That’s the second not first

ok i did


holy
what do i now
Click on “file” top left
Then click on run as admin
done
now?
Then scroll down and uncheck every thing that is in red or yellow
If it shows error when trying to uncheck, leave it
uncheck means delete?
No

wheres uncheck
Don’t delete
ooo
i understand
the checkmark
just press right?
Yes

Do for all
am pretty sure i did all
i scrolled down
some said cannot uncheck
so i left it
Ok close and restart your pc
And try the riot client again

Ok
leme double check
good i double checke
i lefted 1
am a bit dumb sorry
ok so now i restart?
Yes
ok
i restardet
now i click update
?
Yes check
is it ok if riot vanguard is open in my arrow

Yeah dw about that
ok no signs

yet lets see if it still updates
hey
i think it works beacuse the its updating really slowly
Alright let it complete and let me know if it shows error again.
ok
btw are u a mod?
or just a member here?
No, I am not
Yup
w mans
bros better than a mod
staffs dont even answer tickets
They got so many players with so many tickets, takes them a while to respond to each.
yeah but
valorant is a big server
they should have online staffs and mods
they dont gotta leave the memebrs
theres players that want to play
@Icarus
at 89 i think it fixed it

BRO

WHY
it was at 90+ then it said pause on the update then i was confused clicked on it and it returned to 45
and it said this
bro

Did you run any other app while it was updating
nope
