Hi All,
[RESOLVED]
WARNING! This is for users that are using Corsair Hydra Series H100i Running Windows 10 Build 10240 only...
Corsair has always been my favourite hardware, especially their RAM and coolers. But that is were the praise ends as their level of support. Well it is very bad, very bad indeed. I installed Windows 10 yesterday on my main rig and of coarse the usual thing with CorsairLink not working with Windows 10. There is no surprise there then, as I had the same problem with Windows 8 and 8.1 as it was a nightmare to get working.
I never give up on a challenge, and the more challenging a problem is to support my brain goes into overdrive and after 30 minutes of trouble shooting I have finally got a fix for everybody to use until Corsair actually gets around to fixing the problem, which I doubt will be before Windows 10 has been release as they are very slow in developing their drivers.
Okay where do I start first and what needs to be done to get CorsairLink working again with Windows 10. I have listed below a list of tasks that need to be done exactly as I have explained. So pay attention and follow the below list.
First of all we need to get CorsairLink communicating via the USB cable that runs via the Block to the motherboard which is a simple task.
Step One:
WB + R to Open Run Command then type in the following:-
Type in Regedit in the Run Command window that has opened and then Press OK. The registry can be a little daunting for a novice to you need to pay attention to what I am explaining.
HKLM HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (Expand drop down arrow)
SYSTEM (Expand drop down arrow)
CurrentControlSet (Expand drop down arrow)
Enum (Expand drop down arrow)
USB (Expand drop down arrow)
Look through the list within USB and you are looking for thru following key
VID_1B1C&PID_0C04 (Expand drop down arrow)
6&38cb5e&0&5 (Expand the drop down arrow)
Click on Device Parameters
In the Right Panel you will now see a list where the value for the first 3 are set to 1 one. These need to be set to the Value of 0 (zero)
AllowldlelrplnD3 (Default Value is 1 change to 0 zero)
DeviceSelectedSuspended (Default Value is 1 set to 0 zero)
EnhancePowerManagementEnabled (Default Value is 1 set to 0 zero)
EnumerationRetryCount (Default Value is 0 no change required)
LegacyTouchScaling (Default Value is 0 no change required)
SelectiveSuspendedEnabled (Default Value is 0 no change required)
File then Exit then WB + X Shut down or sign out and RESTART
[RESTART 1]
Step Two:
Now that we have resolved the USB problem we now need to move our attention to stopping Windows 10 coming up with a message telling you that CorsairLink is not compatible with Windows 10.
C:\Program Files (x86)
Corsair
Corsair Link
Look through the list and you will find the CorsairLink.exe Application (Right click and then drag this to the white area of the window and then select from the list Copy here) a window will popup asking for permission, select Continue This will now create a shortcut called Corsair Link - Copy.exe we now need to rename this...
Right click on Corsair Link - Copy.exe and select from the list Rename and then rename this to CorsairLink1 and then Press Enter
Now create a shortcut of CorsairLink1.exe and click on Yes to create a shortcut to your desktop instead. It is important at this point that you DO NOT click on CorsairLink1.exe which is on your desktop.
REMEMBER NOT TO CLICK ON THE APPLICATION SHORTCUT ON THE DESKTOP CALLED CORSAIRLINK1.EXE
Now comes the hard part (if you are familiar with Administrative Tools then you will fly through this section)
WB + X Select from the list Control Panel then Left click on the following listed below...
System and Security
Administrative Tools
Task Scheduler
Look at the left panel and you will see Task Scheduler (Local) and then directly underneath this is a folder called Task Scheduler Library click on the folder (don't expand the folder there is no need)
Near the bottom of the list is Start Corsair Link right click on this and select Disable but leave the Administrative Tools open... Now right click and select from the list Properties then click on the tab called Actions then click on Edit and change the location to the following below.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Corsair\Corsair Link\CorsairLink1.exe" Then click on OK and now Restart your PC for the final time and Corsair Link should now run and load without any errors.
[RESTART 2] (final Restart)
If you encounter any problems just send me a PM
Summary of fix:
I have shared this with Microsoft Windows 10 Community as well. It does work as I have mine working now. It took some detective work and after about an hour I managed to get it working... I am now brain dead from troubleshooting this problem. It was like being it work.
If you encounter any problems then you haven't followed the steps that I have outlined in the fix. It does work but you need to follow what I have explained in this fix.
Thank you for taking time to read this I know that it is a long fix but the more that I explain the clear it is for you to follow and understand why we need to go through this process.
