Aura 1.07.71 and earlier versions - Aura service is currently unavailable

[evlqueen1186]

Hi y'all. I'm getting kinda annoyed about this software. I have followed the guides to completely remove it with revouninstaller, I've used the aura cleanup software, I've rebooted like 4000 times, I've manually run the aura service installer about a dozen times, but still when I try to launch the app it says that the auraservice is currently unavailable. I've also unplugged the computer overnight as someone mentioned, but honestly I think that is bull**** because it's a software issue.

Software shouldn't be this messy or this difficult to uninstall completely. Please do something about it!

I have a Crosshair VI Hero.

Is there anybody here who knows what the frig they're doing that can get this working for me? I want to be able to control the lighting. I spent a lot more money to have RGB and I just want it to work as advertised.

Also, put the captcha at the bottom of the screen on this. Holy crap.

Same at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ (deleted the lightingservice folder)

I reinstalled just the lightingservice component and then rebooted, and sh...it just started working. Try it out. I don't know if it's related, but I also updated my AMD radeon driver to 19.7.5 by downloading from the amd website and choosing "Clean Install".

For being sure: "lightingservice component", what is it for you, the exe file in the install folder?

I check before re-installing Aura, I have nothing in Registry right now. But I will try it.

Thank you

I forgot my login to RoG forums, reset my account, waited for emails, etc., just to reply THANK YOU! I've been dealing with this problem since I upgraded to my new Asus Maximus XI Hero weeks ago. THANKS!!!!!

I just deleted LastProfile.xml and it sorted my pc out. Thanks a million, I was close to doing a full re-install! After many attempts to uninstall and reinstall many different versions of Aura!

I signed up this website just to say thank you 🙂

Me too! I installed the latest October chipset drivers for my Maximus X Hero and Aura just stopped working - tried pretty much everything, was at the point of just uninstalling Aura permanently until I found your post - deleted that one little file, restarted and started working again 🙂

I'm indebted to you sir!

OMG THANK YOU - you are a Genius.

I've been trying all manner of stuff for days to get my Aura working again after the latest armoury crate installed and Broke everything.

I deleted the folder, cleaned registry with CC Cleaner and reinstalled Aura. No reboot necessary.

Thanks

This worked! Delete the XML and run ccleaner to wipe old registry keys.
Thank you!

I did install and uninstall Aura several times, cleaning inbetween, etc. Nothing worked. Frustrations, angryness, etc. Than I saw this post and because nothing else worked.... Removed the LastProfile.xml file and Aura is back.... THANX!!!
