In this article, we will discuss different ways to solve this error.
1. Disable Windows Testing Mode
Running Windows in Test Mode lets unverified drivers and apps run, which can clash with Vanguard’s security rules. Turning off Test Mode makes sure only approved drivers and software operate, matching Vanguard’s needs and fixing startup problems.
2. Set the Services to “Automatic”
Setting the Vanguard services, such as “VGC,” to “Automatic” makes sure they start right away when your computer turns on. This helps Valorant’s anti-cheat system work correctly, avoiding errors from services starting late or not at all. After your computer restarts, verify the Vanguard service and driver: Check if the issue persists.
3. Repair VALORANT
Repairing Valorant checks and fixes important game files, including those needed for Vanguard. This makes sure everything is complete and resolves problems from damaged or incomplete installs. Check if the issue persists.
4. Verify Drivers
Outdated or incompatible drivers can mess up Vanguard by conflicting with system processes. Checking and updating drivers makes sure they are signed and work well, helping Vanguard run smoothly and avoiding errors. Check to see if the issue persists.
5. Turn on Data Execution Prevention
Turning on Data Execution Prevention (DEP) adds security by stopping harmful code from running in certain memory areas. For Vanguard, this helps critical processes run smoothly, fixing issues that might cause errors. Check if the issue persists.
