Running as an administrator, which is one of the solution methods we use by default, can prevent various errors. For this, let's run the League of Legends game as an administrator and check whether the update process has taken place.

2-) Check Disk Space

Check if you have free space by accessing the League of Legends installed disk as we explained above. If you have less than 30GB of storage space left, you can free up space by deleting unnecessary programs.

3-) Turn off the Antivirus System

Any antivirus program can block the downloaded patch for no reason. You can continue the process by disabling any antivirus program you use for this. What we need to do to stop the Windows Defender software is as follows;
