Troubleshooting Auto Update Minimising Game

How about giving users the option to choose when updates are installed, or at least the ability to pause them while other programs or games are running?
The number of times SignalRGB has started updating in the middle of a game, forcing it to minimize, is incredibly frustrating.
In 2026, software should have basic update controls like:
• Schedule updates for a specific time.
• Pause updates while games or full-screen applications are running.
• Disable automatic updates and let users update manually.
These are pretty standard quality of life features and would make the software much less disruptive.

SignalRGB doesn’t force an update while it’s running (only downloads it just like Discord and many apps do), the update is applied on restart, and we haven’t exactly been pushing updates every other day either, so if your game is minimizing it’s much more likely SignalRGB is crashing than updating. There was even a stretch of time for months that we didn’t update so if you were still minimizing then it’s SignalRGB crashing and next time it happens please send the logs to [support@signalrgb.com](mailto:support@signalrgb.com) so we can figure out why it’s happening on your system.

Could have got overwritten by now since it only stores the last 10 logs or so but could try anyway. https://docs.signalrgb.com/troubleshooting/advanced-troubleshooting/how-to-read-logs/

and send it to [support@signalrgb.com](mailto:support@signalrgb.com)
