Windows 10 Load times increased after Valorant install.

Why did Windows Boot time to lockscreen increased from 10sec to ~25sec after Valorant install?

Is it because of their Vanguard anticheat that runs with Windows Boot?

Is there any way to disable that without breaking the game or Windows?

Win+R shell:common startup and shell:startup. The shortcut to the anticheat is likely there. You want to take the shortcut out of there and place it on your desktop, and run the anticheat before opening the game.

NVM, uninstalled valorant from Main PC which has sensitive data. Will use laptop to play it.
Seeing some mixed reviews regarding its trustworthiness since it has Ring 0 Access.

After uninstall boot time is back to 10-11.
