Hi, PLZANDTY

Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

It could be caused by the Riot Client not being deleted.

Show how to uninstall:

Step 1: Uninstall

First of all, you need to uninstall the Riot Client from your computer, on Windows, you can press the "Win" and "R" keys at the same time to open the "Run" dialog box, then type the command "appwiz.cpl" and click the "OK" button, find the Riot Client, right-click on it and select "Uninstall". On Windows, you can press the "Win" key and the "R" key at the same time to open the "Run" dialog box, then type the command "appwiz.cpl" and click the "OK" button, find the Riot Client, right-click on it, and select the "Uninstall" option. Uninstall the Riot Client Follow the instructions to complete the uninstallation. (If you've already done this in Control Panel, it's the same thing, don't bother).

Step 2: Delete the relevant files

2.1: Delete the Riot Games folder: On the system drive, drive C, locate the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folder and delete the folder named Find and delete the folder named "Riot Games". (or you don't need to go into Program Files or Program Files (x86)), it's out there, find it yourself and delete it!

2.2 :Use the search function on the system C drive to find and delete the following files:

RiotClientServices.exe

RiotClientUx.exe

RiotClientPrivateSettings.yaml

RiotClient.yaml

RiotClientInstalls.json

(If you don't find any, don't dwell on it, just keep looking for the next one.)

Step 3: Delete registry entries

(may not need to delete, not sure, you can press the path to see, there is in deletion, not as a check)

In the "Run" dialog box, type the command "regedit" and press the "Enter" key to open the registry editor. Find the following path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE 

Find the Riot Client-related registry entries in these two paths and delete them.

Step 4: Remove the components installed by the Riot Client

Go to drive C, this directory, see if there are any Riot Games files, delete them

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Riot Games

Step 5: Check and Double-Check

Look for RiotClient on your system disk, and if you can still find something, look again for the following directory

C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\Riot Games\

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Riot Games\

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Riot Games\

Important Note 1: Don't delete the Riot Games file you found if it's not a related file, but something you've saved.

Important Note 2: Always remember to go into your task manager and make sure that your programs are turned off before doing anything.

Wish you to solve the problem soon!
