  • How to install Dragon Center/Creator Center if I have already installed MSI Center?
    Why do you want to do that? But if you insist on making the “wrong decision”,
    • 1. Follow the steps above to uninstall MSI Center and MSI Center SDK.
    • 2. Search for MSI Dragon Center/MSI Creator Center in Microsoft Store to install Dragon Center/Creator Center.
    • 3. Waiting for the installation to complete.
  • Why does Dragon Center ask to uninstall MSI Center SDK before installing?

  • This is what you get for not liking MSI Center, but you can fix it by opening command prompt and type “reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MSI” and enter “yes” after.
    Note.
    Make sure no MSI Center registry key left in the specific path

I would like to warn anyone who is thinking of updating their bios on their motherboard via the MSI Center to think again , as it all that happened to me was a black screen computer remained on and nothing happened like its supposed to , had to use the bios flashback button to put things right

Whenever I install an older working version (1.0.36.0) the Windows Store tries to update it so I had to turn off "Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows" setting and update my other Windows Store UWP apps manually and disable the download for MSI Center whenever I check for updates because it will trigger and try to update to the current version if you aren't paying close attention. This is frustrating.

From what I have noticed this update seems to have left users of older motherboards behind in favor of their newer products. For instance, the Graphics Fan Tool now only works on motherboards that are PCIe 4.0 according to the release notes. It used to work fine on my B450 Tomahawk MAX (not the MAX II) which is PCIe 3.0. They should have a way to detect the motherboard and install the appropriate software for that particular model. I can't use most of the modules that used to work anymore with the new version and there's no way to shut off updates for just MSI Center which is unfortunate. The workaround is sloppy and unnecessary for just one program. Some owners of newer MSI products are reporting problems too. They should just pull 1.0.38.0 with a statement that they messed up and try again. This one came out in December. I'm sure they have seen the complaints by now.

II have to agree. The Speed Up Devices module disappears and becomes the Gaming Mode module. The Gaming Mode module is installed and displays the same information. It will show up just one time and then disappear. This happens just with version 1.0.38.0.

After the recent updates the Yellow colour disappeared. Now it is a washed out white. If I set to Rainbow then the vivid Yellow is present but not when trying to set a solid colour like Yellow or Orange. Common MSI I spent a lot of money building my pc just to discover that your parts are garbage before the first year of use. My RTX 3070 has a bad vibration, and now RGB does not work properly. What happened?
