Valorant Freezes When Launching Game

Hello, I’d like to ask for some help.
I have a laptop with an Intel Core i5-12450H processor, 16GB of RAM, and an RTX 2050 GPU.

Last night, I reinstalled Windows and tried running Valorant — it worked fine and I could enter The Range normally. But this morning, for some reason, I can no longer play. Every time I open the game, it freezes after launching.

Before the freeze happens, I can see the initial animation and hear sounds, but as soon as the main Valorant window opens, the screen becomes completely frozen.

I’ve attached a video to show what’s happening.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
