League Client keeps crashing log says it expected to be restarted

So today URF came out and i wanted to play with my friend, everything started out all right my client started like any other day. I was waiting for my friend to start the client when my HDD unplugged and league crashed, I thought no biggie, I just turned off my PC plugged my HDD back in and when I wanted to start Legaue again it would just crash, not even the logo, nothing would show up, it was only later that i looked that it starts to process only for it to disappear after a few seconds (I saw that in task manager), I looked for solutions and everything, but I didn't find anything that would help. So I thought that i just need to reinstall and that's what I did but now i have a 2 GB League of Legends folder and the same problem, when i reinstalled it everything went smoothly the 1.7 GB update installed and then League closes. If anybody can help please reply I will paste the latest crash report if anything else is needed ask and I will send. Thanks ahead.

I found the solution that worked for me, i put my riot client folder next to my game folder (now they re both in my riot games folder) and it worked for me I hope this works for you too.

I have the same problem, try to open the launcher but nothing shows up, no logo nor anything. The process start in task manager, but it disappear after a few seconds. Already tried to uninstal and reinstall, and tried to use Hextech Repair Tool, nothing works. My log is similar to yours, gonna paste it here so maybe someone can help.

Okay, I found a solution. I'm not sure it will work for you but there should exist a folder on your pc called riot client i put it next to my lol folder and after that everything was ok so I hope this works for you too!

Bro, i love you. Went too see that folder, and it was already next to my LoL folder, but then i tried to put Riot Client folder IN my LoL folder, and it just worked. But without your suggestion, I would have never tried that, so thank you, really. If you were on EUW, i would have gladly gifted you a mistery skin, as a thank for the idea. Hope you enjoy your urf games!
