AURA Lighting Service using high CPU resources

[louis925]

Same high CPU usage issue on AMD Ryzen 3 3900X CPU if I don't select static light. And, now the Armoury Crate can't even see any ASUS RGB lighting devices. Basically, the Lighting service cannot be started anymore on Windows 10.

ASUS please fix this!!

I noticed an interesting thing. Only in "rainbow" mode is the processor utilization high. For other modes, 0% will be displayed. Even in "music" mode, it's 0%.
The brightness level does not count towards CPU usage (at least I noticed this).
I installed this program componens: Aura_Lighting_Service_V1.00.41, AuraService_3.03.38_NBDTHal_2.2.9.1_20190509, ROG_Aura_Core_Component_V1014

I'm trying to find a shim for LightingService.exe to prevent randomly high cpu usage through Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit:
https://docs.microsoft.com/it-it/win...ed/adk-install (1903 version is ok also for 1909)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...-windows-vista
but it's hard with trial & error method and no help from ASUSTek who coded this broken software.

Aura Sync is rubbish! I ended up uninstalling mine & my 3900X's idle temp dropped by 5c.

I'm surprised by this piece of crappy software released by asus!! well... not only this but every asus software I've installed for my new motherboard is rubbish!! It's surprising! I'm really considering returning the motherboard. What the actual f*** are this guys thinking when releasing this?

Why da hell do I need multiple services for useless stuff consuming resources?

What kind of cheap programmers are allowed to do this?

ASUS DO EVEN CARE ABOUT SOFTWARE QUALITY??? Or is this just and exercise of marketing and making thinks pretty?!

Armory crate reports the wrong latest versions, fan setup software is a joke, some interfaces are mislabeled or don't match with what is in the BIOS or Manual; you can change some fan names but not others; If I want to configure the fans from the BIOS it's even more confusing and irritating! You have to enable some settings in one place then go to the other to use it, I had to waste a considerable amount of time just to setup the freaking fans correctly (or almost)!
Can't change mouse speed to work on the BIOS.


Software organization in the motherboard webpage is another joke! WHY da F*** do you pack everything in zip files?? wouldn't it be better to have things separated and organized by version in a TABLE???
I've downloaded the most recent BIOS version from the website and it needs to be renamed to some specific name... WHY do you need this? you don't because that is useless the file didn't even got recognised when I tried to update the BIOS.

It's too much. Double facepalm for asus!!

No more money for you guys that's for sure! astalavista!

Im having the issue all the time if im using Armory crate and anything different than static - it use always 3-4% from my 9900k at least.I need to open the Aura software and apply from there , because if im apply breathing from example from Armory crate , it always take me cpu ussage (3-4% at least).I also bought asus gladius wireless and sometimes when i put the charging cable its messing up with my Lightning services settings.

Probably I'm missing something. But I don't understand why LightingService is needed at all.
If I can have the light effect working while my computer is turned off then there is no need for sevice...
