Vanguard and other anti-cheats must be disabled before running MSIRGB.

I am getting this same issue however i am not running a single anti-cheat. I noticed that i was getting this same type of problem when trying to use MSI Center/Dragon Center. My motherboard is the x470 Gaming Plus.

Whatever problem you were having with MSI programs is not the same one as this since MSIRGB is completely independent from these other programs.

Either way, past experience tells me that you probably are running an anti-cheat, though unaware of it. Do you have any games installed?

sokayloc commented 3 years ago

Games i have installed are these paired with League of Legends, Apex Legends & Valorant. I have Riot Vanguard disabled at startup and have restarted my PC many times afterwards. image

It seems that (at least) Apex Legends also uses a kernel-level anti-cheat that could be causing these problems. Could you run the following command on a command prompt and upload here the output file?

driverquery /v > instdrivers.txt

This will create a file instdrivers.txt in the directory where the command prompt was started. It will contain a list of all installed drivers on your system.

Here's the file instdrivers.txt

It seems that the Riot Vanguard driver is still running on your system. Unlike for other anti-cheats, Vanguard stops any unknown drivers from being loaded, even if the game is not running.

I had no idea. I thought Stopping it at startup was enough. I uninstalled it and the software works now. Thank you so much!!!

I believe there is a way to disable Vanguard (in a user friendly manner) without uninstalling it, but I'm not sure. I can't tell you precisely how because I've never used it. Glad it's fixed, though.
