Windows 11 might allow users to control RGB lighting without third-party software. The feature is expected to appear in an update, and we have some screenshots.
Windows 11 with ARGB lighting control could appear in an upcoming update
As we know, controlling ARGB lighting requires a third-party application in Windows. However, Microsoft will soon have a solution ready, with an integrated and universal tool that will make this possible.
Some screenshots have been shared, where we can see some menus for adjusting the lighting and various peripherals detected natively by the application. We can see that the app can control peripherals such as Elgato’s Stream Deck.
It seems that the application will support controlling all USB-connected peripherals, but it is not confirmed if it will also be able to control motherboard or graphics card lighting, which would also be very useful.
At the time of writing, Microsoft has not officially announced this feature for Windows 11. The feature might be available in a future update of the system, which is constantly being improved year after year.
This addition could help users manage all peripherals and components with ARGB lighting, which is more and more common nowadays, in a much easier way. The integrated solution that Microsoft proposes seems to be an excellent idea.
RGB lighting refers to lighting technology that uses Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or liquid crystal pixels to produce a wide range of colors. RGB lighting is commonly used for various applications, including computer lighting, gaming setups, automotive lighting, home decoration, and event lighting. RGB lighting allows users to control the color and intensity of the lighting, creating a customizable lighting experience. RGB lighting is popular due to its versatility and ability to create a wide range of different lighting effects.
In the context of computers, RGB lighting is often used to add a colorful, visually appealing touch to a computer setup, with the lighting being controlled through software. Many computer components, such as case fans, RGB LED strips, keyboards, and mice, now feature RGB lighting, allowing users to coordinate the lighting with their other components.
Currently, there is no confirmation if these options would also support motherboard and graphics card RGB, but technically this should be possible. However, it could be that the OS development team needs additional attention. We will keep you posted on the latest news.
