Windows Could not Start VGC service on Local Computer Error Valorant Error 1 FIX
2The Valorant error "Windows could not start the VGC service" Error 1053 occurs when the game’s anti-cheat service, known as VGC (Vanguard Service), fails to start. This issue can prevent Valorant from launching properly, and it is often caused by the following factors:
Disabled VGC Service:
The most common cause is that the VGC service is disabled or set to start manually rather than automatically. Valorant requires this service to be running in the background for the game to launch, so if it’s not running, the game won’t start.
Corrupted Vanguard Files:
If the files related to Riot Vanguard, the anti-cheat software, are corrupted or missing, the VGC service might not start. This corruption can occur due to incomplete updates or other software conflicts.
Copy and paste these commands in:
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
bcdedit -set NOINTEGRITYCHECKS OFF
Solutions:
Check the VGC Service Status: Ensure the VGC service is set to start automatically. You can do this by opening the Services app in Windows, finding the "vgc" service, and setting its startup type to "Automatic."
Reinstall Riot Vanguard: Uninstall and then reinstall Riot Vanguard to fix any corrupted files.
