Hello,

Today I encountered a problem where if I open the normal patcher, it will actually open the PBE patcher instead. I have tried numerous things to fix this, including restarting the computer and opening it from inside the installation folder.
Note that when the league of legends logo appears, it flickers 3 to 4 times before the patcher comes up. If I open the PBE patcher directly, it won't flicker at all.
Also, this might actually be a problem on my side, as I am no longer admin. In that case I would love to know how I might be able to fix this.

Are you sure both installations aren't in the same folder? If you put both clients in like C:\Riot Games, clients may and will conflict together creating a ****ton of bugs.

Yeah I'm sure.
I've had both installations for quite a while but this is the first time that this happened. I am now going to see what would happen if I delete my PBE installation.

Run as Administrator, should do the trick.

Already tried that, but it keeps opening the PBE launcher.
Also, I removed the PBE install and now it just crashes immediately when I start it.

bump. I still have the problem. Now I can't log into PBE either because the login queue is over 9000.
