Hi, every time I start my PC, I get this error from Riot Vanguard.

I have had the issue ever since installing Valorant and have never bothered to really do anything about it considering it never seemed to cause an issue, however I have always wanted to know what it was, hence why I making this post. If anyone knows what this nvdrv6.exe is and why Vanguard is blocking it, I would love to read your reply.

 

Thanks.

did you click yes to read more? If so, what does it say. 

 

Also, quick search shows this is due to a driver issue. Are your video drivers up to date? If so, try running DDU and reinstalling them 100% clean and fresh.

Riot Vanguard is a rootkit that can be a security risk to your system.
