Since the introduction of Windows Dynamic Lighting (WDL), some people may be wondering how to keep Armoury Crate as the main application for controlling the lighting in supported devices. Here's how.

 

1. Install Armoury Crate.

2. Configure Windows Dynamic Lighting 

Mouse right-click on the desktop, then select Personalize

Go to Personalization > Dynamic Lighting

Follow the 3 simple steps above, and you're set! Now you have full control over the lighting from Armoury Crate.

 

Aura Sync still undetected/grayed out

If the device is still undetected by Aura Sync or greyed out, replug the device's receiver in a different USB port and wait a few seconds. Double check Window's Dynamic Lighting settings to see if Armoury Crate is still given top priority, just as you have done in the previous steps.

If so, perform a full power cycle by turning off the PC, unplugging the power cable, replugging the power cable, and turning on your PC again.

If not, it means Windows is defaulting priority for WDL, which is why Aura Sync cannot take control of your device lighting.

What's the fix if Windows is defaulting priority for WDL?

@Karim27nyc Do you mean the priority keeps reverting back to WDL?
