7. Previous version of firmware or software that worked as expected
2.7.0.8

8. Clear description of your issue
Unable to access the "Device Settings" tab. I can click on it and it sees my motherboard, but when I click the entry it just spins forever making it impossible to access things like power off color settings, and ARGB header LED count. This seems to be adding to the issue of aura Creator not being able to change ARGB header connected LED's.

Originally Aura Creator just wouldn't see the LED headers at all on 2.7.0.13, now on 3.0.4.0 Aura Creator is actually seeing there are headers but when attempting to apply a profile, the headers completely shut off. With the 3.0.4.0 update to Armoury Crate it seems to be able to control the headers again, but applying Aura Creator profiles through it also results in ARGB headers shutting off.

This may also be tied to the ridiculously buggy C8H BIOS's as updating from 1105 to 2010+ versions started causing half the LED's on the headers to randomly shut off AFTER a reboot and logging into Windows (so when the AC services start) until going into the Device Settings (when it still worked) in Armoury Crate and changing the LED count to some other number (didn't matter what) and back.

9. Any screenshots of the issue
none

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

How the heck are we supposed to PM you that log? There's no way to attach it, and trying to copy/paste the contents completely froze things up and I had to kill the browser after it told me the page wasn't responding and I told it to wait.

[flyinion]

Ok, I waited, and it pasted, when I sent it, the forums gave an "access denied" message. You guys need to set up an email for this or something. This is a MESS.

EDIT: Now it's giving a different error. I am UNABLE to send logs. I don't even know what language that first part is. Yes I had a subject and the message body had a short text from me and the pasted info from the log file.

There are random cscript.exe blank windows opening up over top of games which then causes the game to hiccup & I lose control of the game until after cscript.exe disappear. Started during last version of Armoury Crate. Windows 10 version 2004.

Here is the latest stable configuration for my desktop computer:
Item Version
---- -------
Armoury Crate UWP App 3.0.4.0
ROG Live Service 1.1.2.0
AURA Service (Lighting Service) 3.04.15
Armoury Crate lite service 3.0.4
ASUS AIOFan HAL 1.1.11
ASUS AURA Extension Card HAL 1.0.22
ASUS AURA Motherboard HAL 1.0.65
AacVGA 0.0.2.6
KingstonDram 1.0.24
AURA DRAM Component 1.0.42
ENE RGB HAL 1.0.17.0
PHISON HAL 1.0.3.0
Patriot Viper DRAM RGB 1.0.8.2

I know that some of these software components are not the latest. However, I know that if I do an update, the DRAM rgb will stop working. Either the whole set is not recognized , or only 3 of the 4 sticks are controllable. The DRAM is G.SKILL Trident Z Neo. Motherboard is Zenith II Extreme Alpha. Also, sometimes after a reboot, the Aura effects comes up in the rainbow settings instead of the static setting that I had it set at. Each time things go out of control, I have to resort to reinstalling a system image I made a few weeks ago. For now, I'm sticking with the above configuration, because it works.

I spent some time updating software components. I've got a stable working configuration with these versions:

Item Version
---- -------
Armoury Crate UWP App 3.0.4.0
ROG Live Service 1.1.2.0
AURA Service (Lighting Service) 3.04.15
Armoury Crate lite service 3.0.4
ASUS AIOFan HAL 1.1.11
ASUS AURA Extension Card HAL 1.0.22
ASUS AURA Motherboard HAL 1.0.66
AacVGA 0.0.2.6
KingstonDram 1.0.24
AURA DRAM Component 1.0.42
ENE RGB HAL 1.0.17.0
PHISON HAL 1.0.3.0
Patriot Viper DRAM RGB 1.0.8.2

If I update ASUS HAL Central to version 20200720, then DRAM RGB will no longer work correctly.

Found some new behavior. I created a new Aura Creator config now that it "sees" the ARGB headers with the AC 3.x update. New Aura Creator layouts actually can change the color on the headers. However you guys REALLY broke some integration with it in the new Armoury Crate. Whether I do a static color, or rainbow, or whatever, when it's applied it makes ALL the lights flash off and back on every couple seconds in a pattern of on for about 3 seconds, off for 1, repeat. When I say all lights I mean headers, motherboard, and RAM.

Currently working configuration so far need further testing on bug fixes like only 1 led lighting up bug that happens every now and then either quite common or rarely from time to time, please do not push any broken updates least for a week so i can make a clone backup of this working configuration cos i am not gonna waste anymore time on this and provide a proper uninstaller that cleans EVERYTHING! EVERY USER SETTING EVERY REGISTERY ENTRY EVERYTHING LEAVING NO REMNANTS GIVING OUT OF BOX EXPERIENCE FROM WHAT YOU GET ON CLEAN INSTALL.
......
Also if never been able to control my corsair ram even tho they provide aura sync plugin on there web page it does not work.

This configuration is working atm hopefully i can make a clonezilla clone backup by tonight cos i certainly do not trust Asus that they wont break things again.

AROKHANTOS not sure if it helps you with uninstall but I found a pretty good post on GSkill's forum the other day about dealing with conflicts with their lighting software and how to uninstall/reinstall. It doesn't clean up the registry but they did provide a batch file that searches through Program Data for the leftover device controller files from AC for stuff like the "Patriot Viper" etc. "drivers" and gets rid of them (or you can do it manually). It didn't help me fix the 2.0.7.13 version of AC, but it did at least help me install and get GSkill's software to work when I was stuck in rainbow puke mode on my RAM after that AC update. I can try to find the post in my browsing history if you want.
