Riot Vanguard Incompatibility

OpenRGB 0.2 x64 binaries on Windows 10 latest, Vanguard 1.0.0.5

Running OpenRGB on Windows while the Riot Vanugard client is open results in a window from the client warning:

Vanguard has blocked the following file from loading on your system: [...]inpoutx64.dll

You then have to choose between keeping the file blocked or closing Vanguard (thus preventing the user from playing Valorant without restarting the PC).

You can read more about this behaviour here: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046160933-What-is-Vanguard-

I believe you can file a ticket here: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/requests/new but I'm happy to if you'd prefer, you need a Riot account to do so.

This bug may be detrimental to the user experience for those who play video games on their RGB-ified PCs.

Please let me know if you need any further information!
