How do I disable Riot Vanguard when I’m not playing?

·2 min read·byRemi Smith

Yo! Is there a fast way to disable Riot Vanguard when I’m not playing Valorant? And if yes, how do I do that? I don’t want to have to uninstall and reinstall Riot Vanguard just to have it be disabled when I’m not playing Valorant.

Hey there! I totally get wanting to streamline your gaming experience without the hassle of uninstalling and reinstalling Riot Vanguard. Unfortunately, there isn’t a built-in feature to quickly disable it when you’re not playing Valorant. Riot Vanguard is designed to run in the background to ensure the game is secure while you’re playing.

However, you can manage its startup behavior by adjusting your system settings. You can set Riot Vanguard to not launch automatically when your computer starts up. Here’s how you can do that:

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
  2. Go to the Startup tab.
  3. Look for Riot Vanguard in the list and select it.
  4. Click on Disable in the bottom right corner.

This way, you can start your computer without it launching, and then you can manually run it when you want to play Valorant. Just remember, you’ll need to have it running for the game to work properly, but this method can help you manage it better. Keep enjoying your gaming, and don’t forget, you’re earning Buff Points just by playing!
