[Client] After hitting launch, the log in screen does not pop-up.

[Client] For about a week now, after hitting the big orange "LAUNCH" button, the Log In screen fails to show up even after 5-10 minutes like other complaints that I have seen. This makes it very difficult to play the game of course when I cannot even log on. On the rare occasion that I am able to reach the log in screen, logged on, it says that I am Logging on the chat service. Help Appreciated!

Recreate:

  1. Open LOL shortcut on desktop
  2. Hit Launch button
  3. Nothing happens

Hi CCM Prodigy,

If you go to C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\ and run "lol.launcher.admin.exe" - do you get the same issue?

And now I look like an idiot XD. Than you so much Eambo! Is this different then right clicking the shortcut and hitting run as administrator?

You don't at all :-) For some reason, yes. My assumption is the normal launcher is programmed to work as if it doesn't have admin rights - so it won't force open, force close, etc.

The admin launcher, however, asks for admin rights - it knows it's going to get them, so it's potentially programmed just to be a badass and force open, close, modify the multiple .exe's that LoL uses.

You can replace your normal shortcuts with this launcher without problem :-)

I had the same problem but the solution you gave above didn't work. Do you have any other ideas that i could try.

Well, I don't know about you, but I just tried getting on to LoL and it won't let me access the log-in screen. What happened earlier was that after it got done updating, it wouldn't take me to the log-in screen, but soon after my anti-virus system (AVG, if you're curious) said a threat had appeared and I recognized it as to maybe be a RADS error of a different kind because I saw RADS in the threat name. So, I click remove, then it asks me to restart to complete removing the threat, I say yes, then it takes a while, then it doesn't restart my laptop and instead says it had to do a system shutdown because the restart failed. So, now, after that, I've clicked LoL about three times, brought to the launcher, clicked Launch, and then nothing happens.

I suspect that when that restart error occurred or when the threat was first being removed, something might have been deleted in my LoL files and is now preventing me from playing LoL. So I don't know if I should uninstall it, then reinstall. As of now, I just tried doing what Eambo suggested and I'm still getting the same error. :/
