Launching VALORANT usually only takes one or two clicks, but the number of clicks can increase significantly if the game refuses to open or launch. Unfortunately, spamming the executable won’t help in this case, but some workarounds certainly can.
Valorant Not Opening, Launching or Not Starting (Tutorial)
VALORANT may fail to launch on your PC for a variety of reasons. If your game is already giving you issues before you can even join the server, read on to learn how to fix VALORANT when it won’t launch.
A common reason why VALORANT "doesn't seem to launch" for me is that the game is technically "running" according to the task manager, but it hasn't loaded properly. If the game is running in the background, clicking on the VALORANT icon doesn't work.
Closing the program and the Riot Client often fixes this issue. Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then under the Apps section on the main tab, right-click on VALORANT and select End Task. Do the same with the Riot Client.
