You will get a message asking if you want to turn off Riot Vanguard.Alternative, find the Vanguard process in the Task Manager by hitting Alt+Ctrl+Delete and close it there. Open the system tray, right click on Vanguard, then hit Exit.You can’t simply uninstall it like any other program, you need to follow the below steps. The important thing to keep in mind when it comes to uninstalling Valorant is that you also need to uninstall the game’s anticheat, Vanguard. No matter the reason, gamers delete their games all the time, and in this guide, we will show you how to uninstall and reinstall Valorant. There is a software-freedom issue here, but other than that, this whole Vanguard freakout is a nothingburger imo.Sometimes you just get tired of a game, need to uninstall it to try and fix a bug, or just have to make some room on your PC for a short while. If running closed-source, proprietary software you can’t control as root bothers you…you should reconsider using Windows. It’s not the first rootkit anti-cheat, it doesn’t have any documented security flaws (afaik), it doesn’t seem to do anything malicious, and it’s from a company with their reputation to maintain, not some overseas scammers. Side note: there’s a lot of FUD about this Vanguard software. Up to you if that’s an acceptable amount of work for the added security. You could buy a new drive, put Windows on it, then pull the other 2 out of your PC case. I think the only way to isolate a rootkit from your primary system, is to get a new system.
Windows can also read your Linux HDD (filesystem compatibility notwithstanding). Getting a separate drive for Valorant accomplishes zero, since Windows would be able to read and write that drive just like the install drive. Your Linux boot would be just as isolated as a partition on the same HDD. That means that it won’t affect your Linux install, but it has nothing to do with physical hard drives. Don’t think of it like a program you install into Program Files, or maybe into a different folder for all intents and purposes, it installs into your Windows install itself. As a rootkit, Vanguard will affect the entire OS it’s installed into.
