I owned a Corsair Vengeance K90. Occasionally it would stop working. About once a month, it seemed like an issue with unplugging. I could only fix it by removing it and plugging it into another USB port. Since I had a Rampage IV Extreme, I had several. After about a year, I ran out of ports. The keyboard stopped functioning. I reached out to Corsair, who tried to assist but sent me a K95 instead. I got that one, plugged it in, and the same problem returned. Interestingly, the keyboard itself wasn’t broken—it was a new K95. The issue was with Windows; when I booted up, all functions worked normally, but at the "starting windows" screen it went dark and didn’t detect anything. Even if I unplugged and plugged it back in, nothing happened. I tried reinstalling drivers, tweaking settings, and even used a guide from SmallVoid, but nothing resolved it. I also looked into Ghostbuster, which helped remove old drivers, but it didn’t fix the Windows conflict. Now I suspect a small part of the Corsair driver or service is still in Windows, preventing detection. I’m hoping someone can point me to the registry entry to delete and see if that resolves it. Thanks for any help!

I tried this software recently since my system had slow startup times. It helped install drivers for vintage headphones, mice, and a few programs that were still loading even after uninstalling them, which improved my audio output.

I see, I have around 50 entries that look yellow or red. Maybe I should review them and remove some. Thanks for the update! I have about 1000 total entries, but none resemble Corsair. Check the scroll bar here: http://i.imgur.com/80LtW9M.png. Someone with expertise might help me find what to do. I've shared everything online: https://mega.co.nz/#!aYVmzZYa!jNgV5NEz8g...3CFEcDiW2w

That's correct, there isn't an option called "corsair."
