About ASRock Polychrome failing post-Windows 11 update with driver missing?
After updating my Windows 11 last night, I've encountered an issue where three drivers fail to load, specifically related to my ASRock Polychrome RGB software. The problem persists during updates, getting stuck in a loop of loading the LED firmware. Restarting doesn't resolve it. These driver errors appear every time I open the software, likely because there are three ARGB fans involved. Removing the software is the only solution I've tried, but ASRock Polychrome RGB remains the only functional option on my motherboard. I've also used OpenRGB and singleRGB before, but they don't work for me.
Consider verifying whether your motherboard requires any BIOS updates. Regarding your application, what method are you using to remove it? You might want to access Device Manager and check for entries marked with a yellow exclamation mark.
I first used the control panel to uninstall it, which is how I usually remove most of my files from the PC, but it didn't work well. I kept encountering a driver not found error at startup and a small pop-up from the software. After checking the software folder, it was still there but wasn't visible in the control panel, so I manually removed those folders, which resolved the errors. Now there are no more issues, but I still need to use that software, so I reinstalled it to see if the problem returns.
