Can you imagine whatWindows 11 will have native support to control RGB LED lighting of the components and peripherals of your PC? Well, in that case we have very good news for you, since you will soon be able to stop imagining it and start putting it into practice. And it is that, as we can read in Bleeping Computer, Microsoft is already carrying out tests to give native support to LED lighting in Windows and that, in this way, we can control it from the operating system.
It is even more interesting to know that, although this function is not yet active, yes it is already in the most recent builds received by dev channel insiders. This is something relatively common, we have already told you on other occasions that Microsoft had included some functions in various versions of Windows (whether from the test channels or in the production version) but that, for reasons that may be the most various, choose to keep them disabled and hidden.
The idea of being able to control the RGB LED lighting of components and peripherals directly from Windows settings has positive and negative aspects, although at this point it seems important to me to stress that what is negative for some users may be positive for others. I am thinking, for example, that This function will make it possible to dispense with the software of each element with lighting, which in some cases can translate into a few applications.
Windows 11 native support for RGB LED lighting It will have some limitations, yes.. For example, it will only have, at least in principle, four visual effects: fixed color, blinking, rainbow and reverse rainbow. In comparison, the proprietary software of these components and devices usually has many more options. In addition, we will still have to check to what extent it is compatible with the plethora of brands and devices that exist today.
On the positive side, a very interesting aspect is that Windows 11 will allow you to synchronize the color scheme with the one selected for the operating system, something that can provide a point of consistency which will surely be a very interesting option for many users. In addition, and in the case of combinations of components from different manufacturers, it is possible that it allows us to unify the lighting of all of them, even though they are not part of the same ecosystem.
As I said before, this function is hidden in Windows 11 build 25295 on the Windows Insider DEV channel and, since it was discovered by Albacore, they have already published the necessary codes so that we can activate it using their popular ViVeTool tool. . They are the following:
vivetool /enable /id:35262205
vivetool /enable /id:41355275
