I also am having the same issue. I just built a PC today with a Corsair 500D case w/ included Commander Pro and an H115i Elite Capellix that required a Commander Core. I plugged both the Pro and the Core into my 2 motherboard USB 2.0 connectors and both were initially recognized by the iCUE software, but the Commander Core is no longer recognized after failing to install firmware v 1.6.135.
When I click update the Commander Core, the progress sits at either 0%, 7%, or 10%, and eventually fails and disappears from the recognized device list.
