I've found also ROG Aura Core Component 1.0.14 on
https://ivanrf.com/en/latest-asus-drivers-for-windows-10/ and tried to reinstall everything from scratch (Aura Core from MS Store, Aura Core Component 1.0.14, Aura Service* 3.03.38 hotfix). I've also tested without Aura Core Component as suggested on
https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1036500/ *Aura Service == LightingService
Nothing changed for me, still problems...
Also noticed BASIC EFFECTS like Music and Smart do not work anymore and keyboard leds stay off when selected (Customize 1, 2 do work as soon as I select any effect instead):
BASIC EFFECTS:
Music: led colors based on real-time audio play
Smart: led colors based on CPU temp
