Can you try going to your task manager then ending all Riot tasks then restarting your PC and running it again?
@kyuxg0d

Did you check if any of the files needed to be repaired?

Secure Boot not enabled
:valExclamation: To verify Secure Boot is not enabled, press the Windows Key + R > type msinfo32 and hit enter > locate Secure Boot and BIOS Mode.
Look for BIOS Mode: UEFI and Secure Boot state: On
If it states itβs off do the following:
Go to Settings > Update and Security > Recovery > Restart Now > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings.
Navigate to the Security or Boot tab. Navigate the menu until you locate Secure Boot. Enable Secure boot. Save the changes and restart your PC.

Does it always happen when you go to that setting?
yeah
Restart pc and spam only the F2 key on the keyboard

Did it when the motherboard logo appeared?
the motherboard logo didnt even appear π
it loaded in too fast

Shut down ur pc
Or laptop whatever
Hold down the F2 key
Then turn the pc on
Don't let go of the f2 key
