Yesterday when i opened League it would appear "League of Legends" on the screen for a few seconds, then disappear and nothing else. I have noticed a file called "lockfile" appear in the folder whenever i open league. I tried to reinstall the game but same thing happens and i can't even download it. What can i do?

If a lock file is your problem, then search the internet for how to delete a lock file.

I tried that already...

Have you tired deleting the lock file, restarting​ your computer, then re-installing (in that order)?

Yes. Every time I open the game a new one appears.

Can you try running the game in Administrator mode?

Delete the lock file, restart your computer, then open the Task Manager to its full view ("More details" in Windows 10. You should see a lot of services up). Sort the list by name, scroll down to where "L" would be, and then start League in Administrator mode. See if it pops up then dies or if it keeps going.

I'm not sure how to help in either of those cases, but the more information the better.
