@Gloryakaabum, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
It sounds like you're experiencing a Valorant crash when alt-tabbing, but only on your laptop display, not when using an external monitor. This strongly suggests a graphics driver or display mode issue, likely tied to switchable graphics (iGPU/dGPU) or refresh rate/resolution mismatches.

Update Graphics Drivers

Since your laptop is a Victus 16, it likely uses AMD Ryzen + AMD/NVIDIA GPU.

>For AMD (CPU + GPU):

>For NVIDIA (if your GPU is NVIDIA):

Make sure both iGPU (AMD Radeon) and dGPU (NVIDIA/AMD) are updated.

 

Disable Fullscreen Optimization for Valorant

Sometimes alt-tabbing issues are caused by fullscreen mode.

  • Go to: C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64
  • Right-click on VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe
  • Properties > Compatibility tab:
  1. Check “Disable fullscreen optimizations”
  2. Click Change high DPI settings → check Override high DPI scaling behavior

Force Valorant to Use Dedicated GPU

  • Right-click desktop > Display Settings > Graphics Settings
  • Add Valorant (VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe)
  • Set it to High Performance (forces dGPU)

Match Display Refresh Rate

>Make sure both internal and external displays use the same refresh rate, ideally 60Hz or 144Hz.

  • Right-click desktop > Display Settings > Advanced Display Settings
  • Select your internal display and set to match the game's target refresh rate

Disable Switchable Graphics (optional)

If the issue persists, and you’re comfortable:

  • Enter BIOS (usually press ESC or F10 at boot)
  • Look for Graphics or Switchable Graphics
  • Set to Discrete GPU only (disables hybrid graphics)

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.

Thanks for ur reply but it does not fix this problem. I remember when i delete all drivers off nvidia. This game doesn't crashed but because dont have driver this game so lag, low fps. When i install new driver it continues crashed. I meet this problem when i download a game and it need download some mircosoft visual. After that i meet that problem. A lot of games have this problem
