Solution
- Open the Task Manager > Details tab
- End the task on all VALORANT, Riot Client and VANGUARD-related apps/services
- 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
- Open the Riot Client and click update
- Restart your computer after the update
After you’re done with that:
- Press Windows key + R
- Type services.msc
- 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.

@Kris

Does it show any other error codes when you boot up the game?
ima try it right now ima boot it up and see rq
nope

i legit cant do anything
Did you try this?
Make sure you do all the steps
yes until the last part it says start vgc but i cant start it
i mean i might have done it wrong but i think i did it right
i can screen share and you can watch if you want
So changing the startup to automatic gives this error?
no clue i can put it to manual and try let me know
ima try it rn
when i put it on manual still wont let me start it
only way this is getting fixed is by a riot employee
Are you clicking "Start"?
yup
you dont click that
