How to Disable Valorant Vanguard
To disable Valorant's Vanguard, right-click on the Vanguard icon in your system tray and select 'Exit'. This will turn it off until your next reboot. If you want to permanently remove it, you'll need to uninstall it from the 'Add or Remove Programs' in Windows settings. But remember, you won't be able to play Valorant without it, as it's their anti-cheat software.

Vanguard is super important for keeping cheaters out of Valorant, so think twice before disabling it. That said, if you must, a quick exit from the system tray is your temporary fix. For a longer break, hit up your 'Add or Remove Programs'. Just be ready to reinstall before your next match.
Turning off Vanguard temporarily? Right-click and exit from the system tray. Want it gone for good? You鈥檝e got to uninstall via 'Add or Remove Programs'. But hey, you'll miss out on Valorant's awesome matches without it!
Just uninstall it, dude. Go to Control Panel > Uninstall a Program. No Vanguard, no play though. Keep that in mind.
