If you're having trouble with Vanguard for legitimate reasons (e.g., it's not working as expected and you've tried basic troubleshooting), consider reaching out to Riot Support for assistance. They can provide guidance specific to your situation and help ensure that your experience with Valorant is secure and enjoyable.

: If you are being blocked from playing, Riot often requires enabling HVCI/VBS Memory Integrity

By controlling the hypervisor, they can hide their cheats from the guest operating system where Vanguard is running.

If you are receiving errors (VAN 9001, 9003, etc.), it is usually a configuration issue rather than a ban.

Some cheats try to load before Vanguard or hide within critical system processes.

: Most software marketed as a "bypass" is actually malicious. Because Vanguard operates at the kernel level (Ring 0) , bypass tools often require similar deep system access, which can be used to install ransomware or create backdoors for hackers.
