Don’t think you’re doing anything wrong this vanguard anti cheat is known to do this.

I’ve had friends tell me they force close it and choose quit when they get a connection error.  After re-launch it has been fine (somewhere between 4 and 9 percent usage).

If that doesn’t fix it then a full delete and reinstall of the game is the only other solution I’ve seen work.

I've stopped playing Valo for a good portion of a few months now and so far my pc has been fine thus far until these few weeks where the cpu usage has been acting up.

I've uninstalled valorant from the "programs and features" tab and I'm trying to do the same to the riot vanguard app but it looks like it doesn't want to be uninstalled no matter how many times I press it, or restart my pc to press it again. 

Do you think I need to reinstall valorant again for it to be lowered down or should I just not download it ever again since I don't think I'll be playing it any time soon?
