    Hey everyone, I just looked up a YouTube tutorial on fixing the PVP.net kernel patcher as the above solution didn’t work for me. If you right click on your desktop LoL icon and hit Properties and go to the Shortcuts tab, click the Advanced button on the lower right. Check the “Run as Administrator” box and follow the prompts. Don’t know why but it worked for me!
