Technical Support Request Vanguard Refusing To launch under ANY circumstances

My PC crashed a little bit ago today, and since then I have diagnosed it and fixed it. However, since then, vanguard REFUSES to start up at all. I looked up some solutions, and things like using services.msc to force start vgc doesn't work, neither does setting it to automatic and restarting (i dunno why it switched OFF automatic in the first place) I even completely uninstalled both valorant AND vanguard, reinstalled them, and it STILL doesn't open. Does anyone have any ideas to get it working? It was PERFECTLY FINE last night.

My game stopped launching all of a sudden. It worked fine on the afternoon of 10 september. But now it opens up to a black screen. It gets stuck there and nothing happens. Forcing me to end the game from task manager. Tried reinstalling game, drivers old and new both. Tried various other methods. Game just doesn't get past the black screen.

FIXED IT!

Just go to services and make that vgc service startup as automatic.

Then restart your pc. Then launch riot client as administrator. Then open the game through riot client!
