The quick answer
Start with the right fix, not random tweaks.
If Vanguard identifies a peripheral driver as incompatible, record its exact filename and publisher. Update the affected software from its vendor, reboot, and retest. Corsair iCUE, Logitech G HUB, Razer Synapse and SteelSeries GG are not all universally blocked, and there is no verified global table of specific offending versions.

01 / Identify the blocked component
Read the exact Vanguard warning
Record the code, driver filename/path and the affected app.
Open the vendor’s official support site
Check whether the vendor has a newer compatible release for your device.
Update or clean-uninstall the implicated software
Uninstall via Windows Apps if not needed, restart and retest. Keep drivers for keyboards/mice you still need.
Escalate with logs
If the latest vendor build is still blocked, contact Riot and the peripheral vendor with logs and version details.
02 / Rollback and registry cleanup
A rollback should only use an official vendor-provided previous version recommended for your exact device and Windows build. An old, vulnerable driver may be blocked for good reason. Do not delete registry keys or driver-store entries from random community scripts. Windows app uninstallation and vendor cleanup tools are the safer approach.
03 / FAQ
Is G HUB always blocked by Vanguard?
No. A specific incompatible driver or version may be involved. Read the exact warning before changing software.
Can I just delete the .sys file?
No. Removing arbitrary kernel driver files can break hardware or Windows startup. Use official uninstallation instead.
