FIX VALORANT Not Opening or Launching in Windows 11/10
0If Valorant is not opening or launching properly on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC, this step-by-step guide walks you through multiple solutions that can help resolve the issue. Riot’s anti-cheat system, system compatibility issues, or even a temporary server outage could be the reason why the game fails to start. Whether you’re encountering no response when clicking the game icon or facing errors during launch, this tutorial covers all the common fixes to get Valorant running smoothly again.
Start by completely closing Valorant and any related background processes. Right-click on the taskbar and open Task Manager. In the list of running processes, look for Valorant and Riot Vanguard entries. If you see them, right-click and select End Task for each one. This ensures there’s no hidden process preventing a clean launch.
Next, try running Valorant in compatibility mode. Navigate to the game's installation directory, usually found under C:\Riot Games\Valorant. Right-click the Valorant.exe file, choose Properties, then go to the Compatibility tab. Check the box for “Run this program in compatibility mode” and select Windows 8. Also, check “Run this program as an administrator” before clicking Apply and then OK. This often resolves permission and compatibility-related issues.
If the problem persists, it's worth checking if Valorant's servers are down. You can do this by typing "Valorant server status" into your browser and visiting Riot Games' official status page or a site like DownDetector.
As a last resort, uninstalling and reinstalling the game may resolve corrupted file issues. Open Control Panel, go to Programs Uninstall a Program, locate Valorant, and click Uninstall. Afterward, visit https://playvalorant.com/ to download and install the latest version.
