First off, try the classic turn-it-off-and-on-again method with your PC. Sounds basic but sometimes that’s all it takes! If that doesn't cut it, check if your antivirus is maybe being a bit too protective and accidentally blocking Valorant's update process. Adding Valorant to the antivirus exceptions list can work wonders. Lastly, running the Valorant client as an admin gives it the necessary permissions to update without a hitch. If you’ve done all these and it’s still no go, reinstalling might be your best bet.

Just reinstall the game, honestly. It's the quickest fix to most update issues. Saves you the headache of troubleshooting forever.

Make sure your internet connection isn't on a go-slow. Sometimes, it's not Valorant, it's your WiFi playing hard to get. Using a wired connection can improve the situation if updates are downloading at a snail's pace.

Running the game as admin worked like a charm for me! Valorant seems to need those extra permissions to get its updates sorted out, so give that a shot before pulling your hair out.
