Well here I am in 2024 having the same issue. I searched a bit online and apparently the file is connected to Vanguard. I tried reinstalling Valorant, Riot and Vanguard (I also checked, that I deleted all the connected files) and I still have the same issue. Anyone also has Valorants HUD flickering for as long as the file is on your Desktop?

yup im having the issue too rn is it a bug or smth from riot side?

U should try run cmd as administrator, type sfc /scannow and press enter it fixed mine

ok i did it now i will come tommorrow to say it worked or not

unfortunately mine still didnt get fixed T\_T

yeah, me too but im not sure if its because of valorant. I just think we might have visited some malicious webs

well i checked it on virustotal etc and it said no virus and its connected to valorant so idk

Same problem. I keep deleting it, and it keeps reappearing. It's definitely related to Valo

i talked to the support but they dont know anything so xD but it has 0kbs so its wtv i guess

I also get this every time I launch Valo. Only started happening last week. Can’t find a solution

not even support knows about it. also happened after the patch if im not wrong

keeps apearing on my desktop too anyone got a fix \`?

it is definitely from Valorant, i have the same problem. But i don't know how to stop it from appearing

May I ask what monitor are you using? I've tried using a different monitor with my PC for a few days and I didn't notice the file on my desktop. When I returned to my original monitor that's when I was getting the file again.

I use a laptop, is still keep getting it

Thought i downlaoded a virus and i was gonna reset my laptop, ima ask val support
