- Open the Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
- Uninstall Riot VANGUARD
- Open CMD as Admin and type these commands:
- sc delete vgc
- sc delete vgk
- Navigate to your C: Drive, then Program Files
- Find the VANGUARD folder and delete it

After you’re done with that:

- Look for vgc
- Right-click on vgc > Properties
- Change the startup type to automatic
- Start the services (if not started already)
We will be waiting for your response, thank you.

i can't find "vgc" in services
Do you have any 3rd party anti virus ?
this error usually means valorant can't install vanguard properly which is required to run the game just uninstall riot vanguard from the control panel then restart your pc after that open the riot client again it should reinstall vanguard automatically if it still fails the try running the client as administrator or temporarily disabling your antivirus to see if it’s blocking the install i dont know if this works or not
