Had the same issue! Try reinstalling Valorant and the Vanguard anti-cheat. First, uninstall both from your PC, then restart your computer. After the restart, download Valorant again from their official site and install it. This process usually gets Vanguard back on track. Another trick is to make sure your Windows is up to date, as outdated systems can create compatibility issues with Vanguard.
Honestly, Vanguard is too fussy. I just keep my drivers updated and hope for the best. Running the game as an admin does the trick too, but yeah, it can be a pain.
Ensure your drivers are up to date, especially your graphics card drivers. Outdated drivers often cause Vanguard to throw a fit. AMD, Nvidia, or Intel - just head to their websites, find your model, and grab the latest drivers.
