So whether you simply just want to uninstall Riot anti-cheat as you do not play any games that require the service, or you want to install it as Riot Vanguard is missing on your Windows 10 PC, then this can easily be done by following our steps below. You can see within Task manager if the Vanguard user-mode service is running as shown in the screenshot below. Reinstalling Vanguard might help resolve those problems. Have been experiencing problems with Riot Vanguard such as it’s not working correctly, you are unable to launch one of the riot games because it’s not detecting Riot Vanguard installed on your computer, or you’re just getting error messages.
Is Riot Vanguard install required to play a game?.There is a software-freedom issue here, but other than that, this whole Vanguard freakout is a nothingburger imo. 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.
