Hello. For the past 2 weeks I've been having this issue where whenever I open the riot client I get blue screens. I've tried some troubleshooting methods already but nothing seems to work. I did have a similar question already here, but it was forgotten. I do have the minidump for the most recent time but I can't decipher them. Any insight would be great.

    The minidump file indicates that the cause is related to tpm.sys, which is possibly conflicting with Vanguard anti cheat.
    I suggest you check and follow the solutions provided by game support at this link;

    Dear Team,

    Your BSOD when opening League of Legends (Riot Client) is almost always caused by a driver conflict, most often with:

    GPU drivers (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel)

    Third-party software (overlays, antivirus, RGB software, "boosters")

    Outdated Windows updates

    Corrupt Riot client files


    What to do now:

    1. Update GPU drivers:
      • Go to NVIDIA/AMD/Intel website, download and install the latest drivers.
      • If already updated, do a clean install (use DDU tool in Safe Mode).
    2. Update Windows:
      • Make sure all updates are installed (Settings > Windows Update).Your BSOD when opening League of Legends (Riot Client) is almost always caused by a driver conflict, most often with:
