Ok, Good to know that it sounds like they may have finally fixed the issue. My first post indicated that this was an issue with a specific, earlier version of the software that was confirmed to be a problem. :)

That's nice - but what version of iCUE software are you using now?

I haven't had 'ANY' issues with this, since getting rid of that DLL. On a side note - i haven't bothered to update the iCUE software either, so I can't say if it ever was fixed in a later version. Everything does what I need, without the lag - so why bother upgrading and running into the wall again :P I'll update the software when it absolutely needs it and deal with it then :laughing:

So after renaming the suggested DLL, issue does not appear to be occurring again. The question is - what specific functionality are we losing by doing this now?

@DevBiker I"ve just renamed the DLL you mentioned, and restarted. Will test today and see what happens. Thanks for your input. :)

For a while I've been trying to narrow down an issue I've been seeing with random video stutter. Any type of graphic output would freeze, and then surge ahead like it was buffered to get caught up to where it should be. It then dawned on me that this issue did not occur until I followed the prompt from the iCue software to update from 3.4.95 to current. I was able to validate my findings by completely removing the iCue software, and any remnant profile/files and just let it run for my normal day to day usage, gaming and streaming. Not 1 stutter occurred. I re-installed 3.4.95. For 3 days, not one issue with stutter, lag or video freeze. I then did the "check for update" again, and re-applied 3.7.99. Shortly after that - sure enough, I started seeing the issue again with video lag/stutter. So leaving the software installed this time, I exit/quit the iCue software, and then: 1) Bring up Windows Task Manager (Windows 10 fully updated) 2) go to the "Services" tab - stop the Corsair Service. 3) go back 1 tab to the "Details" tab and "End Task" on the "CorsairServiceDisplayApapter.exe" And start using my PC like I normally would - the issues are gone again. It's pretty clear at this point something in the iCue software is causing an issue. No matter what light profile I use for the LL Fans. So anytime I plan on doing any kind of streaming or gaming, I have to do this so I don't lag out for 1 to 3 seconds. It would be helpful to get a fix for this.
