When patches become available, they should download automatically, but there can also be times when\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0is not updating. In cases where\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0doesn't update, you can run into all sorts of errors. Since you won't have access to the latest patch, you'll lose access to the game's online services and fail to launch it. What to do when you cannot update\u00a0VALORANT If\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0isn't updating or gets stuck at zero percent, restart the game and the Riot Client. In most cases, a quick reset should be enough to finally install the\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0update. When the update remains stubborn, you can try the following fixes. 1) Delete Vanguard Sometimes, the issue lies within Riot's anti-cheat software, Vanguard. If all else has failed, a clean reinstall of Vanguard may force the update to progress. Here's how: Close Vanguard:\u00a0Locate the Vanguard icon in your system tray (usually the bottom right corner of your screen). Right-click it and select \"Exit.\" Open Command Prompt:\u00a0Search for \"Command Prompt\" in your Windows search bar. Right-click on it and choose \"Run as administrator.\" Remove Vanguard Services:\u00a0Enter the following lines into the Command Prompt window, pressing enter after each: \"sc delete vgc\" and \"sc delete vgk\" Restart time:\u00a0\u00a0Reboot your computer to complete the changes. Clean up the remaining files:\u00a0Once restarted, Close Vanguard again from the system tray. Navigate to This PC > C: Drive > Program Files

In most cases, a quick reset should be enough to finally install the\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0update. When the update remains stubborn, you can try the following fixes. 1) Delete Vanguard Sometimes, the issue lies within Riot's anti-cheat software, Vanguard. If all else has failed, a clean reinstall of Vanguard may force the update to progress. Here's how: Close Vanguard:\u00a0Locate the Vanguard icon in your system tray (usually the bottom right corner of your screen). Right-click it and select \"Exit.\" Open Command Prompt:\u00a0Search for \"Command Prompt\" in your Windows search bar. Right-click on it and choose \"Run as administrator.\" Remove Vanguard Services:\u00a0Enter the following lines into the Command Prompt window, pressing enter after each: \"sc delete vgc\" and \"sc delete vgk\" Restart time:\u00a0\u00a0Reboot your computer to complete the changes. Clean up the remaining files:\u00a0Once restarted, Close Vanguard again from the system tray. Navigate to This PC > C: Drive > Program Files
