VALORANT’s anti-cheat system, although arguably the most successful of its kind, can act funny sometimes. Thankfully, most Vanguard hiccups like the “HVCI enabled” VALORANT error can be dealt with easily. That is, only if you haven’t breached any of Riot Games’ strict TOS rules, of course.

Since you’re here, you likely haven’t been able to launch VALORANT due to a VAN: RESTRICTION error dialog box, which says your account doesn’t meet a necessary requirement to play the game. The message also subtly notes the missing requirement as “HVCI enabled,” which, again, isn’t quite informative.
