CPU usage always gets high caused by 'LightingService.exe'
Don't fooled by task manager's 2% CPU usage, it's a 4.4GHz 18C36T 7980XE, 2% is high enough.
1. Rampage VI Extreme UEFI 1401
2. ASUS R6E/G.Skill TridentZ/Cooler Master ML360R (no RGB fans installed)
3. Tried power cycle, clean reinstall, update software version, no help.
4. Tried reinstalling Aura, not Windows, there's absolutely nothing to do with Windows.
5. Windows 10 x64 1809.
6. The issue was present in all previous versions.

it's before and after stop LightingService comparation
For users concerned about high CPU usage, we have tested several configurations and verified similar results - 1 to 2% max for software-based effects (lower for hardware-based: static, breathing, and color cycle). It is normal for brief spikes to occur when a new effect is applied - up to around 10%.
Results will vary according to system specs of course, and the number of Aura Sync devices linked. Since our test bench configuration changes frequently, there is always a fresh Windows installation.
Here is the typical CPU utilization we observed while replicating with the closest system specs available.
I tried it it briefly on machine in my specs. After install strips went dark and stayed there and MB just went to arbitrary colors in all zones. Calibration has no effect and selecting any of the effects ironically has no effect. To get back to the unicorn vomit default for the MOBO had to uninstall the software and power down machine completely as in remove input power. After a few years haven't had a single release that worked for me. Other contoller work fine, even the $50 variety and Id settle on that if they could also control the MOBO lighting.
The lighting service interferes with the Far Cry 5 Easy Anti Cheat system and completely stops the game from being able to launch, Easily repeatable, End the process and the game launches, When the process is active the game refuses to launch, Example below.
