[Under construction] (tell me if something looks wrong or seems missing )
Do this with client closed ( check in task manager if there is not running process of League ):
. First, go to the folder above the blue arrow ( "Riot Client" folder)
. And copy the 3 files indicated with orange arrow, to Desktop ( arrow with 3 axis )
. Note I have enumerated the files. Order is going to matter in next steps
. Now, create a new folder on your Desktop and a new text document inside it.

----------
. Go back to the files you copy to Desktop y copy the name of the first one. This way is quicker:
Right click > Rename > Copy

--------------
. Back to created folder, open text file and go to File> Save as
. You get save dialog. Select "all files" in the very last drop-down menu
. Then got to the textbox right up there, and paste the name you copied. Append .exe in the end
. So click Save and that will create the first dummy file we need

. Do the same with file labeled "2"
. File number 3 is almost identical procedure but, instead of adding .exe, you add .dll
. If you did all right, now you have the 3 dummy files. Now copy that back to Riot Client folder
-------------
. Next, one at time, to the same with those 3 files you just copied back to Riot Client:
Right Click > Properties > Security > Advanced options > Disable inheritance (Select remove to confirm in the dialog box) then apply or save in every window to continue
Repeat with file 2 and 3

. Now again, one file at time:
Right click > properties > Read Only and save

And you are done.
I advice you to back up the files left on your Desktop.
---------
To undo the process, Right click > properties:
. Security>advanced>Add>click the blue text ( the only available option) > Advanced search> Select "everyone" or "all" . That's up to your OS language
. Save everything until all windows close and you are done. Now you can delete or replace the 3 files with your backup ( original) files or simply "repair" client or just update.

Sometimes New League Client WILL try to repair itself upon startup but will fail. Just ignore the message ( don't push "retry" but click the other button)
