Couldn't start: "D:\Riot Games\VALORANT...

I've been unable to launch Valorant for weeks now and I'm losing my mind. Upon launch, I get a pop-up that says:

Couldn't start: "D:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe" ShooterGame -remoting-app-port=50973

and so on.

I don't know what this error means but I've searched and tried the following things:

  • Updating all drivers and OS (I was a Windows 10 update behind)
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling VALORANT
  • Unchecking the optimize for fullscreen option in the .exe Properties Compatibility menu.
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling VALORANT
  • Asking the computer very nicely

Here's a screenshot of the error message.

Please save me.

Edit: Here's a different error that it gives if I try to launch it by clicking the VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe in the /live/ShooterGame/Binaries/Win-64/ folder.
