Hi.

As of recent, I have been having a problem with SighnalRGB not starting. Well, it tries to start, but it never does. It is a great application, and has worked great for me, until as of late. My system is the latest version of Windows 11. My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. I have 64gb of ram installed. A couple of weeks ago I contacted support and submitted a log file from the program. I have not received any help with this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ll attach the log file info below.

Try changing armoury crate to where it doesn’t open on startup in its settings, and possibly your other RGB processes, like aura sync, ect. an make sure they don’t restart before you open signal. You can turn them off in the settings of armoury crate, but the processes might keep running so you’ll have to close them if they do.

You can also go into the settings of signal and put run as administrator each time you open it or just right click an do it, and turn on the setting that closes conflicting processes. Youll have to restart it after you change it for it to update it, an then probably one more time for it to actually use the settings to close them.
