Issues fixed

VRAM leak resulting in unplayable experience until you alt-tab out

Disable Logitech Ghub

Logitech GHub takes samples of specific parts of your screen to match the colors with the light to create cool backlight behind your pc that matches your screen, that sampling is causing the memory leak with Geometry Dash
