This problem has been posted before (https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/foru...nter-problems-on-recoil-ii.60305/#post-448687) and as it exactly matches my current issue i quote:
"I've got a problem with the Control Center (or GamingCenter) on my Recoil II.
It used to work fine, but for some months now i can't change the keyboard color and also i can't change the brightness.
The application works fine, but when i choose lighting settings it doesn't show up anything under Color Backlighting Wizard, but i can change the front bar color without any problem. After changing the bar color if i try to go back to the keyboard backlight wizard, the program crashes"
I've tried:
- reinstalling the application (and pretty much all versions currently available online)
- updating keyboard drivers
- going into BIOS to change the backlight settings from here (doesn't work)
- asking help from PCS (they are responsive but quite slow and not very effective)
added on 31/03/2020:
- PCS provided BIOS update
- Clean re-install of Windows 10
initially, sometimes one of these changes would result in a temporary fix, but usually after a couple of reboots the functionality would again fail. The last month nothing has worked and I am stuck with a backlight thats always turned on. The main problem i have with this is that it unnecessarily drains my already very poor battery-life.
I am considering flashing my BIOS but would greatly appreciate any tips, feedback and / or suggestions. Also i am curious if more people experience this or a similar problem.
Many thanks in advance...
