First, double check if your Windows 11 is fully updated, outdated systems can cause games to freak out. Next, run Valorant as an administrator by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Run as administrator'. If that doesn't do the trick, try disabling fullscreen optimizations for the game's exe file in its properties menu. Don't forget to check your antivirus; sometimes it blocks games from launching. If you're still stuck, reinstalling both Valorant and the Riot Vanguard anti-cheat has solved the problem for many!

Honestly, just make sure Vanguard (Valorant's anti-cheat system) is running properly. If it's not, Valorant won't start no matter what you do. Had this issue and realized Vanguard wasn't even on!

Might wanna update your graphics drivers too. Outdated drivers have caused issues for my games in the past, not just Valorant.
