    Riot Vanguard uninstall error


    I have just uninstalled the riot vanguard client, and in the original folder I can't uninstall two files, called vgk.sys and vgk_2023-02-17_16-00-14. I tried to see if they were running in the background, but I didn't find them. Whenever I try to uninstall them it says that they are currently running and they need to be closed before deleting them.

    :)

    Is Riot Vanguard causing my computer to restart?

    For the past couple of months, I have been getting PC restarts. Changing the settings to make the PC not restart only makes it completely freeze. Today I tried the minidump method, and I uploaded them to OneDrive.

    I also took a look at them myself using the WinDbg tool - two of the minidumps pointed towards Riot Vanguard. Am I correct here? Should I just uninstall Riot Vanguard and Valorant for a while and see if that was indeed the issue?

    An error with "\SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\fvevol.sys" (with Riot Vanguard)

    Every time I turn on my computer, a message pops up about how Riot Vanguard detected an incompatible software and that I need to remove it.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Vanguard and VALORANT, restarted my computer multiple times, and checked for system updates in settings. I've also done a system file check.

    Riot Vanguard uninstall error

    Is Riot Vanguard causing my computer to restart?

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William. I'm a Windows technical expert. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    Yes, this is a known issue. I have examined a lot of bugchecks thrown by the Riot anticheat component, Vgk.sys. Most anti-cheat systems today employ a high-level system driver that has access to privileged areas of the Windows kernel and don't always play well
    with Windows Guard features. Read here for how to disable:
