ICUE 4.22.203.0 crashing

[Sidney_Smi]

I've noticed after I updated ICUE a few weeks ago that I started getting system crashes. I don't think the crashes are related to ICUE, but I also get this error in my event viewer a few minutes before the crash occurs. I've also noticed now that even though I have ICUE enabled at startup, it doesn't synch my RGB across devices until I open ICUE manually. Here is the error log in Windows 11 event viewer. I was following a user's post with a similar issue, but I noticed our error logs had much different information in regards to the faults.

It is definitely icue. Uninstall and see if system crashes. I have the same issue before I rolled it back to an earlier version. There are tons of reports of the new 4.22.203 crashing systems after install.

The error itself shows that iCUE is crashing due to a faulting system level DLL. This points to other third-party software causing a conflict resulting in a crash of iCUE. Most of the time its really old and outdated third-party RGB software/services running in the background. iCUE alone is not going to cause a system to hard crash and it is going to point towards other software as the root cause.

I think it was the weird Viper RGB software that Asus installs when you have one of their motherboards. I uninstalled all of their pre baked rgb stuff except for the aura synch and Icue hasn't crashed since.

I literally just made an account on here just to comment. Receiving the same Error message out of nowhere...Nothing has changed on my machine except for updating to the latest software. Now, every time I click on any built in Hardware profile, it crashes. I've followed your guide on doing a fresh install as well. Nothing seems to fix this. Please help.
