Interacting with buttons on gui has massive lag, usually 10 seconds to change ANY option/button/switch. As in when on my destop, trying to click betweeen game and say, internet.....has about a 10 second delay. Same with taskbar rightclick to change.
Now after some testing, if I close out Corsair iCue, the problem goes away. I can replicate this every time. I thought it was MSI Afterburner, but it's iCue. Sadly, I have wireless KB, Mouse and Headset. Si I cant just close the app permanently.
This just started recently, last week or so. I wonder if it has anything to do with a recent windows update. I kno for sure iCue closing makes Throttlestop gui and interaction work instantly as intended. But, with no recent iCue updates in the last 5 months or so I dunno what changed.
This is a new alienware laptop and been using iCue and Throttlestop since May of this year with no issues.

Has anyone come across anything similar. It's not a gamebreaker, just the input lag represents something is conflicting and so far iCue is the only one when closed fixes the issue.

EDIT: I just went to iCue and seen there is a newer version for 11/7/2023. I dont remember downloading it and it was set to autoupdate. Which would explain why some hardware monitors in iCue running I never turned on. Will, download earlier 2023 iCue and see if that corrects the issue.

Usually the default Microsoft driver will allow the keyboard and mouse to work even if the iCue software is not installed. I am not sure about the headset.

Try running LatencyMon

This might help you find the driver that is causing the severe latency. Contact Corsair if you can prove that their software is a buggy mess. I love my Corsair AIO but I immediately uninstalled their iCue software. Good hardware, terrible software.
