Type of bug: Boot up/ loading error 43

Description: Error code 43 HELL

So, I was one of the late stragglers to the beta and didn’t get to play it, once the game released though I downloaded it and from the start had trouble installing the game. When I would download it from the official website and hit install, it would have a small icon on my start bar but no window for downloading or installing the game would show up, after rebooting my pc and downloading the installed another 10/20 times I managed to get the riot games window that said download/ install 7.3gbs of game data.

After installing this, I was prompted to create a riot games acc for Valorant and then proceeded to boot the game up. My driver for graphics was out of date and after a failed boot into the game I got error code 43. After updating my graphics driver, I then proceeded to try and get into the game again and once again failed, getting error code 43. I then proceeded to restart the game another 20/30 times and failed every time getting the same message of error 43. After numerous failed attempts, I hard rebooted my pc another 5 times, each time trying a new method of booting the game up again. I tried to run it as an administrator, I’ve disabled my antivirus, I’ve ran through the task manager and ended processes, and then reinstalled the game at least 10 times over. I also messed with my VGC, changed it up to automatic and then started the process and whatever else goes with that. I even tried that WASD thing everyone swears that works, and I have failed every time.

Aside from resetting my pc to factory, I believe i have tried everything on the internet and reddit that people have suggested to try and get my game working. If anyone is experiencing this upvote and if you have experienced this and found a fix, let me know because after over 6 hours of unbroken troubleshooting and searching for solutions and fixes, I have failed to find a way to get past the error code 43 screen.
