How to Fix the Vanguard Issue in Valorant
Restart your PC first. Sometimes, Vanguard just needs a fresh start to work correctly. If that doesn't do the trick, try reinstalling both Valorant and Vanguard. Uninstall them, restart your PC again, and then reinstall. Make sure to install with admin privileges! Lastly, check if your antivirus is falsely flagging Vanguard and set an exception for it if needed.

A buddy of mine had the same issue. He fixed it by updating his Windows and all drivers, especially the graphics driver. Seems like Vanguard gets picky with outdated systems.
Make sure you're running the latest version of Valorant and Vanguard. Outdated versions tend to act up. Also, running the game as an administrator can sometimes work wonders. Right click on the game icon and select 'Run as administrator'.
Just turn off your antivirus, lol. Vanguard hates it more than my cat hates bath time.
Reinstalling didn't work for me. What did though was disabling any RGB software for my peripherals. Turns out, Vanguard isn't a fan of flashy lights.
