*A:* – Please make sure to read the description of the video. If something was unclear in the video,
you can find a step-by-step *written* guide there, which will help you with everything you need.
*2โฃQ: “Windows is blocking my OpenRGB Effects Plugin download.”*
*A:* – When you download the OpenRGB Effects Plugin, Windows might block the download because it’s a .dll file, which is usually suspected as a “virus”.
In the video, you will see that it doesn’t block *my* .dll file because I already downloaded the file a couple of times in the past.
*3โฃQ: “Every time I close the program, the RGB effects go back.”*
*A:* – The default behavior of the program is to shut down completely when you press “x”.
To minimize to program, you need to make sure that “Minimize On Close” is โ in the settings tab:
Go to Settings โ General Settings, and you should see it there (the first option).

Man, this is so much better than crappy slow as hell SignalRGB.

Thanks for the thorough explanation my guy! I placed an order for a Nollie ARGB controller to use on SignalRGB, for maximum flexibility. By default, SignalRGB doesn’t support my specific B850 motherboard and so all RGB runs at extremely low framerates and it looks pretty horrendous (I’ve used it on an older Z790 build and it was extremely good because the Z790 was supported). It’s from Aliexpress, so to wait out the month of shipping, I’m gonna resort to openRGB. I prefer SignalRGB because it’s just easier for my monkey brain to process, and I love the GUI & much omre lively themes.
I just want to turn of the keyboard LEDs when I lock the screen. Apparently I need to set up an “off” profile then in system task scheduler, set up two task events. One for Lock and one for Unlock. If there is a built in way in OpenRGB to do this, I would rather do that.
