Recently attempted this work around on 470 Taichi Ultimate running Windows 10 Pro with mixed results.
Firstly tried the work around as stated, but only got a partial fix, after applying the work around the program loaded but was not working correctly, I had a number of access violations when trying to select options and the program ran very slowly. I re-applied the work around but ran the command prompt as administrator, used the nu51_2.07 file to update and then set PolychromeRGB to run in windows 8 compatibility mode and to run as administrator, this fixed the access violations and the slow running. However this only partially fixed my RBG problems, I still can't change the colour of the outer ring of the Wraith Spire AMD Cooler and can only set RGB colours on one DIMM not both..... Hope this helps others if they are having difficulties. |

The new 1809 (RS5) Windows 10 release is causing some issues with the RGB utility, on the previous 1803 (RS4) it seems to work fine.
Note, this only applies to boards with Addressable RGB, so: B450; X470; Z370 and Z390 Solution: The cause is the new Windows 10 release, and the use of the Windows powershell to execute some commands. When the utility is installed it extracts a number of files to the C: drive Her is how to solve it 1. Download the latest 1.0.26 utility: http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Utility/RGB/PolychromeRGB(v1.0.26).zip 2. Uninstall the RGB Led utility and reboot 3. Install the 1.0.26 utility and reboot 4. Start the utility, it will detect the RGB hardware, (it should also install the firmware update, and that is what goes wrong in the latest Windows version, it doesn't update!) 5. Now we have to manually update the firmware via the command prompt 6. Open the Command Prompt (Windows key+r and type in cmd and click okay) 7. Type (or copy/paste);
8. Type DIR, and check for 2 files wicpflashadsb.exe and nu51_2.07 (this is the latest firmware) 9. Type; wICPFLASHADSB.exe /File=FilenameHere example:
10. Press Enter, the firmware for the LED controller will be reflashed 11. Done This is a known issue and a proper fix is in development. For now, you can either hold off on installing/updating the RGB utility and wait for a fix or you can use this workaround to get things working correctly. This info was provided by my contact at ASRock who requested I share it here for you all. Edited by Xaltar - 09 Sep 2019 at 6:05am |
