How To Disable Riot Vanguard?

If you’re a Valorant player, then there’s no doubt you have Riot Games’ anti-cheat ‘Vanguard’ installed on your PC. Not only is the software essential to run Valorant, but if you manually quit Vanguard at any point while your PC is running, you’ll have to restart Windows to be able to play Valorant again.

Riot’s Vanguard automatically launches every time you turn on your PC, and users have to manually close the application every time to prevent it from interfering with unwanted applications.

However, this can often get frustrating, and many users may want to uninstall the program entirely to solve this problem, especially if they’re not a regular player of Valorant.

Luckily, disabling Riot Vanguard is a straightforward process and takes no more than a few seconds.

  • Right-click on the Riot Vanguard logo.
  • Hit ‘Exit Vanguard’.
  • Hit ‘Yes’.

And that’s it. You have successfully disabled Riot Vanguard from your PC. Now to re-enable it, all you need to do is restart your computer.

How To Uninstall Riot Vanguard

If you wish to uninstall Riot Vanguard from your PC, follow these steps:

  • Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
