Windows Settings Checklist: Verified Visual Proof to Clear Vanguard Van 57
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Q1: Why does Error VAN 57 reoccur every time I reboot my computer?
A1: This occurs when third-party system optimization software, battery-saving profiles, or registry cleaners automatically reset the vgc service startup type from Automatic back to Manual upon shutdown. Whitelist the service within any performance tuning software running on your system.
Q2: Can I play League of Legends if I leave Vanguard disabled when I am not gaming?
A2: Yes. You can exit Vanguard through your system tray while working or playing other titles. However, because Vanguard requires a cold-boot kernel handshake, launching League of Legends later requires either manually starting the service or rebooting your computer.
Q3: Will setting the vgc service to Automatic impact my PC's boot speed?
A3: The performance impact is negligible. The user-mode vgc service consumes minimal system resources during startup and remains mostly idle until the Riot Client initiates an authentication query.
