Im wondering why i cant start my LoL launcher

Sharsil··1 votes·733 views

Even after a complete re-install I can't start my launcher it will start give me a loading thing next to my cursor and just stop and it won't show up in the processes. I was wondering if this could be video card related i have a gtx 980 or could it be a windows 10 error

Just had this problem, and I have two possible solutions:

  • Delete the folder 'D: Riot Games> League of Legends > RADS > projects > lol_launcher' and 'lol_patcher' then try and run the launcher.

  • Check to see if your anti-virus is blocking the launcher. I have Avast and the way to fix it is by going into the Virus Chest and adding League of Legends to exclusions. You might have too do this twice, because for some reason the launcher counts as two different programs for my anti-virus.

Hope this helps! :D

Deleting those folders worked, Avast wasn't an issue.

If you also use Avast, you may want to block it for a little, and then do this:

I just discovered that allowing LoL in your avast exculsion list go to settings>general>scroll down>exclusions just add the file path for your LoL and your set happy gaming!
