• Full hard drive or HDD instead of SSD.
• High in-game settings overwhelming your rig.

2. Run as Admin: Right-click launcher → Properties → Compatibility → Run as admin.
3. Clean install: Uninstall via Riot Client, redownload.

If software fails:

• ✅ Install on SSD (not HDD)—loading times plummet 70%!
• ⭐ Boost virtual memory: Settings → System → About → Advanced → Performance → Virtual Memory → Increase to 1.5x RAM.
• 🔧 Clean boot: msconfig → Services → Hide Microsoft → Disable all → Restart.
