Windows 11 and RGB management
Windows 11 takes over management of PC RGB lighting. It is possible that this “native” functionality will be offered for testing soon.
The information is official, while recent sightings confirm that development is underway. The option, which affects the RGB of keyboards, mice or other controllers, was spotted in a preview of Windows 11 offered through the Windows Insider program. At the moment it is not activated.
It is located under: Settings > Personalization > Lighting.
Windows 11 and RGB management, a dedicated page
A screenshot shows the option “Use dynamic lighting on my devices” and indicates the possibility of enjoying dynamic lighting on all devices. Then at the bottom we have the “Lighting Devices” entry, which probably lists all the compatible and manageable devices.
It will be interesting to follow this dossier as RGB has conquered the PC world in a couple of years. Many device manufacturers have their own applications. Should we prepare for her disappearance? The competition will be fierce and the arguments must be strong to prevail. With native settings, Windows 11 will likely simplify things with a less extensive but more streamlined and centralized approach.
It’s hard to say yes at the moment, but Microsoft hopes to offer a solution to “add energy and emotion to your PC experience.” The addition of advanced profile management (creation, activation and switching between profiles according to preference) is reported. There’s a good chance that many peripherals are compatible, but developers and hardware partners would be slow to test integration and deploy compatible drivers.
Microsoft also announced “Copilot” and a bunch of little things here and there for Windows 11. For example, AI will come to the store
- automatically organize the list of the best applications,
- Highlight the best results in the search bar.
- optimization of application detection,
- and create assessment summaries.
Another novelty will concern the “Backup and restore” function. The focus is on preserving applications when moving from one device to another. It explains that apps are automatically restored from a backup on another device.
