Riot client not launching
Hello. My riot client doesn't launch no matter what I do. It typically auto-starts, but now I can't even manually launch it. As a result, Valorant won't launch either. Does anyone know a fix that doesn't involve reinstalling the whole game?

Press windows key
Search “msconfig”
And open “System Configuration”
Head to “Services” tab
Check “Hide all Microsoft services”
And then “Disable all”
And find “vgc” and enable that only
Open “Task Manager”
Then head to “Startup Apps”
And disable all
Then enable all riot related
Then restart your pc
I will try this fix. Thank you for your response!
Alright. I have tried it and I discovered two strange things, One is this,
And the other was something simply called "Program" with an unknown manufacturer, which has gotten me worried about a potential virus
I tried to launch again, and it didn't work. I opened the file location and tried to launch the riot client and this is what it told me.
It stopped without me stopping it
Try to reinstall riot client only
And these :val_HUH:
I have no idea what they are 😭
I forgot how to do that...
I guess I'll just uninstall and hopefully it won't uninstall my game as well
You’ll have to move the game folder to different location
Then delete riot client from control panel
Reinstall from site
And move the game back
Oh that's smart
What if I just delete the files from the folder? I'm using an SSD right now
I'll just delete the top one?
It’s more efficient if you delete from control panel
Just move valorant folder to D:
Ctrl x and paste it in D:
Also D: drive is internal drive right
Not for me, this is an external SSD that I plugged in
Uh :val_HUH:
I made another folder and moved valo there. I'll delete riot client from control panel now
Then you’ll face launching problems
Cause it doesn’t like loading from external drive
I'll put it back in the original folder
Works
I've been doing that for months
and for all my games
except minecraft cuz its dumb lol
this thing right?
idk why it says 47 gb lol
Yes
its supposed to be 600 mb or smt
Yes
alright done. The files are still there tho
Why didn’t it delete :val_SusgeNoted:
Shall I delete these as well or try to install over them first?
Delete it
And reinstall from site
Sure
I don't know man, I always get these weird tech problems lol
I have a digital black thumb
does this remove browser data?
