Every time I try to launch Valorant, I instantly get a blue screen crash with the error message: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED related to vgk.sys. I’ve spent hours trying to troubleshoot this issue on my own. My BIOS settings are configured correctly—CFG Lock is disabled, Secure Boot is enabled, CSM is off, and UEFI is selected.
