After being forced to update the software, I ran into the issue of my H115i Platinum being undetected and iCUE immediately closing.
After many troubleshooting attempts including full uninstall/deletion of registry entried/folders etc, the only solution was to install an older version (3.30.97) and simply wait for the app to push the latest version on me again, the one that wasted hours of my time last night.
Why there can't be a simple option to at least delay the install of a new version to allow customers to avoid having these time consuming problems that come as a result of these forced updates, yet really do NOT bring any new functionality to the user.
If this new functionality is something we must have, at least allow users the option to wait a while to be sure it's truly well tested in the field.
I do not allow any Win 10 updates (drivers especially) to happen until I have had time to check out the forums to see if the update has clear patterns of the same issues.
And of course Corsair has gone to the trouble of making sure that if a customer chooses to block the updates through firewall rules for example, that they run into entire PC system performance issues due to iCUE utilizing a lot of CPU resources as some sort of a 'punishment' for simply waiting to see if the update is going to impact the general usability of the PC. This is akin to dictator style countries......
