Are you trying to play your favorite game via Riot Client, but the app refuses to launch? There are several reasons why this app won’t open on your Windows 11 or Windows 10 computer. There are a few solutions you can try to potentially fix the issue and get the client working again. We’ll show you what to do in your case.
How to Fix the Riot Client Not Opening or Launching Issue
Some reasons why the app might not work include that there is already a broken copy of the app running, the app does not have administrator privileges, the app has compatibility issues, your PC's antivirus or firewall has restricted the app's functionality, and more.
If the Riot Client refuses to launch, force quit any currently running instances of the app and restart the app. This will give the app a fresh start, which may fix minor issues.
It is possible that Riot Client does not have the required permissions to function. This usually happens when you run the app from a normal and not an admin account. You can resolve the issue by launching the app as an admin (without actually switching to an admin account).
