    Is VGK a abbreviation of the Riot Vanguard? Unsure.


    Hi, to whoever is reading this, I hope you're having a good day/night, I just wanted to ask the question; "Is VGK an abbreviation of the Riot Vanguard?"

    I'm looking through my registry editor and found what looks like the riot Vanguard, (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/VGK), is it actually the anti-cheat? If so, then it won't hurt to uninstall, right? I'm trying to uninstall league because I am scared that my privacy is being breached.

    Thanks!

    :)

    I tried uninstalling Valorant from my pc but it is saying it is still there. Please help.

    Hi! My name is Ben an Independendent advisor and an Xbox gamer. Hope you are doing well!

    With regards to your issue, have you tried uninstalling it from the control panel? After uninstalling it is also best to restart your PC to make sure the game will be uninstalled properly.

    Sometimes Valorant won’t uninstall and the primary reason is Valorant’s anti-cheat software Riot Vanguard. To successfully remove Valorant, you need to first uninstall Riot Vanguard and then uninstall Valorant.

    Remember, you need to close these two programs before the uninstallation. Completely exit Valorant, then go to the system tray from Taskbar, right-click on the Riot Vanguard icon and choose Exit Vanguard. Next, start to uninstall Valorant by following the ways below.

    Step 1: Press Win + S to open the search bar, type control panel into it, and press Enter.

    Step 2: View items by Category and go to click Uninstall a program under Programs.

    Step 3: In the Programs and Features window, locate Riot Vanguard and choose Uninstall.

    Step 4: Locate Valorant and then uninstall this app. After that, restart your PC.

    Alternatively, you can go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Find Riot Vanguard and click Uninstall in Windows 10. If you are using Windows 11, you need to click three vertical dots next to Riot Vanguard and click Uninstall. Then, repeat the same process to uninstall Valorant.

    In addition to Control Panel, you can completely uninstall Valorant via Command Prompt (CMD) and this is a simple way. See how to do this task in Windows 11/10.

    Step 1: Type cmd to the search box, right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.

    Step 2: Type sc delete vgc into the CMD window and press Enter.

    Step 3: Type sc delete vgk and press Enter.

    Step 4: Restart your PC.

    Step 5: Go to C:\Program Files, find the Riot Vanguard folder, and delete it.

    After doing the steps, make sure to restart your device for the changes to completely take effect.

    I hope the information helps somehow. Feel free to post back if you have further questions and we will try with the best of our knowledge to offer assistance.

    Kind regards,

    Ben
