I've had val for more than a year on my pc working just fine but recently its been refusing to open no matter what I do. I reinstalled the game I ran it as an administrator. Nothings working. Anyone know why?

Go to task manager (Ctrl+ Shift + Esc on windows) and end the task (right click and click end task) of anything having to do with riot, valorant, or vanguard. Without closing the task manager app, then try opening valorant again. Be patient and dont click it a lot of times. That should work :D
Of what it literally just won't open 😭
Not even riot client
Sometimes if I try running it as an adminstrator riot client opens and i can run it from there but like this just started happening
mk
;vgc
- 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.
