VAN 1067 means Riot Vanguard ran into a problem while starting or checking in with Windows. Install every Windows update and restart, disconnect unnecessary USB devices, run Riot Client as administrator once, and set the vgc service to Automatic. Open VALORANT after each change; if the same code remains, use Riot's clean-boot procedure before reinstalling Vanguard.
Open Settings > Windows Update, select Check for updates, and install everything offered. Restart the PC, open Riot Client, and test VALORANT once.
2
Disconnect extra USB devices
Unplug controllers and other USB devices you do not need to play. Launch VALORANT again; reconnect a device only after the game stays open without VAN 1067.
3
Run Riot Client as administrator
Close Riot Client, open Start, type Riot Client, right-click it, and select Run as administrator. Approve the Windows prompt and launch VALORANT.
4
Start Vanguard with Windows
Press Windows + R, enter services.msc, and open vgc. Set Startup type to Automatic, select Apply, select Start if the service is stopped, and restart the PC.
5
Test a clean boot
Press Windows + R, enter msconfig, open Services, check Hide all Microsoft services, and select Disable all. Re-enable vgc, select Apply > OK, restart, and test VALORANT before reopening other apps.
6
Run a full Windows Security scan
Open Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options > Full scan > Scan now. Remove anything detected, restart, and test VAN 1067 before reinstalling Vanguard.
7
Reinstall Riot Vanguard
If VAN 1067 remains, open Settings > Apps > Installed apps, uninstall Riot Vanguard, and restart. Open Riot Client to reinstall Vanguard, restart again, and confirm VALORANT reaches its home screen without the code.
If it does not work
If vgc is missing from Services, reinstall Riot Vanguard instead of creating a service manually.
If the clean boot works, re-enable non-Microsoft services in small groups until VAN 1067 returns; leave only the conflicting service disabled.
If the same code survives a Vanguard reinstall, follow Riot's PC connection guide. If the connection checks pass, reinstall VALORANT, then submit a support ticket with Riot Repair Tool logs.
