iCUE v5 creates issues with Windows 11 Desktop

[ckapop]

After installing iCUE v5 on Windows 11 the following things were noticed:

• Additional spacing added between Desktop icons. Had to change registry setting for icon spacing to fix this.
• Desktop background was changed to a solid black color. After changing the background color it goes back to black after signing off Windows account.
• Right clicking on Desktop to bring up context menu causes it to disappear almost immediately. Timing of the context menu disappearing seem to be random but consistent. No fix or workaround found for this.

All these issues went away after uninstalling iCUE v5.

No idea, but I don't have that issue on my rig

I have no issues either.  the only thing that changed for me, is that I can no longer wake up my computer by moving my mouse.  I have to input a key on my keyboard for that.
