Valorant Vanguard issue/Computer keeps crashing when i open Valorant
I opened Valorant and went into the range and a message appeared saying something about vanguard configs changing and that i needed to restart. I pressed ok and it opened up this link in microsoft edge; https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/22291331362067-Vanguard-Restrictions . I tried opening valorant again since i played valorant yesterday and all the methods on the website involved going into bios or changing some setting of some sort (also my windows is updated) and my laptop crashed. I followed the steps though listed checking my TMP, whether my bios is in UEFI and if secure boot is on, and all of those seem to be correct.
But for the step involving enabling IOMMU (step 4) I am a bit stuck as my BIOS menu does not say anything about IOMMU in the advanced tab, also i read somewhere that VD-d is the same as IOMMU and in the advanced tab it is already set to enabled (also i know like nothing about BIOS im just following the steps in the article) does that mean im cleared for that step?
Also i checked step 5 where i need to enable HVCI/VB S and it says page not avaliable, and on the article it says that the BIOS Virtualization is disabled, how to I enable this?

ive been going through using chat gpt to help a bit to help me understand some things
and i have windows 11 home edition which means that i cannot enable HVCI apparently
when i search core isolation it does this, and chatgpt says that its cuz im on home edition of windows, I opened core isolation details under the device security and it says memory intergrity is already enabled which should satisfy vanguard?
ive gone through all the steps and ive had to change no settings as they are all already on the right options/ are enabled yet i am unable to open valorant without my computer crashing
show me the error

sorry i am unable to get the message it only appeared when i managed to open valorant the first time
let me see if i am able to find it on google
look at the message i linked you to, perhaps its named somethign differnet
@Guardian Man whats your mobo? does it have a Memory Remap Feature?
sorry im unfamiliar with the term mobo
is it this?
motherboard, yes
it doesn't look that old, it should support iommu
is VT-d the same as iommu?
i used chatgpt to explain what to do and it said that but chatgpt is unreliable to use so im unsure
yes
that is already enabled in bios
hmmm, did you take a screenshot of the vanguard error by chance? it might be something else that's causing the crash
i didnt
ok, well if you come across it again please take one so we can diagnose it further
i will try and see if i can find the message on google
