1903 broke Clevo Control Center again

Yes, i did uninstall the CC3 app and the CC3 driver.

I think i'll try it again and see how it goes.

I get a few error messages such as these,

Ok, i just created a new account on my laptop and control center seems to be working again.

I guess my current local account as screwed up CC3 that it doesnt work.

Guess i have to port over to a new account...

 

The thing really roots into your PC, it appears. Yes, could be an account issue. Strange, but at least it works now. I'm glad to know that.

As for some of those messages: some are in relation to .net framework and others being that they're already updated to the newest version. Nothing really to worry about if they weren't successful.

 

I thought the 2nd command was to clear any dependencies from the previous control center installation.

I tried a couple of times to uninstall and reinstall control center, finally i thought i might as well try it on a new account before i had initially decided to reset my windows. Luckily it didnt have to come to that.

Ok, i just found out the culprit which caused the control center from launching, it was the bloody rivatunerstatisticsserver software which was preventing control center from launching, once i closed it, control center was back up and working again!

 

Yes, it clears and fixes dependencies. But if you got software that interferes with CCC, that's a whole different story. In my case, I had a messed up Windows installation or something. I had missing drivers, too, after upgrading to 1903 from 1803. Now I got a whole different problem that requires me to RMA my laptop. But I'm happy to know that you sorted it out. I had literally reinstalled Windows myself in the past just to fix CCC's not launching problems. A little extreme, and that didn't even fix it. The dependencies thing did for me.

 

I've been trying for days to figure out why CC3 wasn't opening (I discovered it when I wanted to change my keyboard lights to holiday colors). The event viewer was showing an error in ControlCenter30.exe related to d3d9.dll. I tried uninstalling, cleaning, going through the registry, turning off fast boot, trying the Obsidian PC utilities instead. I was about to try some of the more drastic stuff. I saw your post about RTSS and sure enough, closing MSI AB and RTSS allowed my Control Center to function again. Thanks for finding this.

 

It is good to have afterburner and RTSS on a delayed startup otherwise, CCC3 cannot poll the sensors on the GPU.
