If you run into an issue where the RGB lighting of your devices changes into a color that you did not set in iCUE, it is possible that your computer system has software that is interfering with iCUE. Follow the steps below to fix this issue.

  • Step 1: Uninstall conflicting programs
  • Step 2: Repair iCUE
  • What to do next if the issue is not resolved
