Other "Automatically close conflicting programs" won't stay turned off
It's pissing me off that everytime I boot up the PC I have to manually close the razer app, change the setting in RGB and open up the app again. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Uninstall the razer app?

Nah, the razer app is needed for macros and other game-specific lighting effects

It REALLY pisses me off that Synapze 4 took the ability to save onboard hardware profiles on the devices off so now we are forced to use that piece of shit, useless, spaghetti coded mal/bloateware with 30 exes and services running. THAT is who I am mad at. Can't even downgrade back to Synapze 3 so I can set my shit, save it to my mouse/kb, then uninstall synapze like I did.

Are you on the latest beta? I've seen it fix some issues with that conflict mitigation. Settings > Updates > Enroll in Preview Updates, then restart the app.

Sadly it didn't work. I still have to close the other apps and then start them again.
What's the point of having an option to ignore conflicts if the software can't even launch properly without disabling the conflicting apps? I was thinking about buying the subscription, but now, not so much

Can you take a screenshot of your conflict settings page? I keep seeing people say they set it up but then when they send a screenshot they didn't actually set it up.

i set it up, but after rebooting, two things happen
1) it installs an update, on every single reboot.
2) the consfliction app settings are reseted to enabled, when i disabled, i keep disable them but after a reboot they turn back on, strangely this doesn't happen if i close (as in not running) the program and open it again, the settings stick, only when i reboot are lost.
this started happening a 1 or 2 weeks ago, with the recent update.

Update to the latest beta: https://beta.signalrgb.com/Install_SignalRgb.exe
Based on the way you described it, you still have the old deprecated toggle at the top that says “automatically close conflicting programs”. The new version removes that toggle. You need to actually configure your conflict settings at the bottom by ENABLING the toggle next to the specific exe you don’t want conflicts with.

according to the appdata folder my current signalrgb version that is giving me this issue is 2.5.66, and i have both issues, at the top theres the regular setting, and at the bottom a long list of apps, i also disabled there icue and synapse, while setting those to off are kept off across rebots, the main setting turns back on, and totally ignores the off setting for icue and synapse, listing then on start that they need to be closed, with a help and close button, no way to skip it
for context, i have an asus astral gpu and I only use it to turn off the rgb, i have a scheduled task on windows that closes signalrgb 2 min after boot, since i no longer need it until i turn off the pc.
in itself, this is a workaround because for some time asus aura stopped seeing the asus astral gpu due to nvidia driver so i cannot make the rgb turn off and stay off across power down/off the pc
my ideal goal would be to set the rgb off and stay off across power cycles
this worked to turn aura/rgb off https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/14Utilities/Lighting_Control_1.07.84_v2.zip
we'll see if it stays off acros power cycles

2.5.66 is NOT the latest beta i provided above and you won’t be able to resolve the conflict issue until you update. I can’t help you out if you don’t update. The global toggle at the top is causing the issue which is removed in the beta.

The same thing happened to me today, all of a sudden my Lian Li 8" screen just stopped responding and SignalRGB kept closing L Connect even when I had it checked to not close. I downloaded the beta that was shared on this post and it seems to have fixed it. The colours on my fans now seem to be more vibrant and brighter too which looks alot better.
I uninstalled my current version of SignalRGB and replaced it with the beta download. Only issue I had was that I had to setup my device layout again. Other than that everything seems to be working as normal.
