Hello, I have a similar problem since about two weeks on a configuration which was working fine since about one year.
My setup is:
- ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore
- GSkill TridentZ RGB RAM (8x8GB)
- Corsair RGB LL fans
- Corsair pump and CPU block and watercooling
- Windows 10 Pro 64-bits
It took me quite a while to setup everything at first, as Armoury Crate was not very reliable and regularly crashed in the lighting service or armoury crate internals at boot time. But in the end, I had Armoury Crate and Corsair's iCue 4 working fine: it controlled my Live Dash motherboard OLED display, the RGB motherboard devices and RAM RGB, while iCue was working fine with it's own RGB stuff.
All this worked correctly since about March 2021.
But then I did an update near December end, and problems started:
- Armoury Crate crashing randomly at boot, visible in windows reliablility report
- Armoury Crate unable to see the mother board as a device, although is sees the GSkill RAM
- Therefore,no Live Dash OLED control, no motherboard RGB control in the Aura Sync panel
- RAM is listed in Aura Sync panel, but it doesn't work
- problems trying to uninstall and reinstall: error message boxes naming AsIO.sys or AsIO3.sys, installation taking much longer than it did one year ago, sometimes not even ending and freezing on inital Armoury Crate screen
I was not ready for this: although I had noticed that Armoury Crate starts a lot of services and processes for something I just want to use for RGB control, at least it was working. I didn't use Aura Creator because I noticed all the animated designs had a handle allocation bug which was gobling Windows Resources over time - this can be seen with Microsoft Process Explorer tools from SysInternals. or at least, it was when I saw it in March or April 2020.
Right now, I have chosen the most radical solution: I uninstalled Armoury Crate and gave up for motherboard RGB and live Dash control. For RAM, I use GSkill lighting control software which is a little buggy (1 of the 8 RAM sticks is not synced with the 7 others) but at least can control my RAM RGB.
Hope this will be fixed soon. I'm not a great fan of Armoury Crate which imposes a lot of useless services but I'd like to get back my live dash and motherboard rgb control.
