Need help setting delayed startup

[Sleepless]

Love this program, just trying to find the service to delay for startup. It starts before Corsair iCue so lighting does not respond correctly on peripherals. Have tried 32/64 versions and have priority startup off. Thanks for any help

I asked Corsair to implement something so that the order the programs start in doesn't matter so hopefully they do that and then this issue will be gone.

I don't think there is any way in Windows to delay startup programs. You can also use the 'stop' hotkey to reset the connection to iCUE for now until there is a proper solution.

Ok I'll do that for now Thanks

I found a way to get this to work it's not a fix and I don't know if it will work for everyone as it's just a somewhat setting change.

I disabled steam and wallpaper engine to not startup at startup.
Then added wallpaper engine shortcut to startup folder.
steam://rungameid/431960
It's gives icue a fraction of a sec more to startup and works out.

icue version 3.9.93
wallpaper engine build 1.1.1 2018/11/15
I'm running a 5820k 16gb ram 1080 all oc

Clever, thanks for sharing.

Why not use any of the countless startup delay tools for Windows? ^^

True but I didn't want some more software to change something for some software. Plus most programs you can just delay the service to have it run little after boot.

Ok, then i guess the way you solved this is just fine. :)

So that didn't last. I just made a StartupOrder.bat put it in startup folder edit it to

@ECHO OFF

TIMEOUT /T 1
REM Total Delay = 1 seconds
START C:\Users\Public\Desktop\iCUE

TIMEOUT /T 5
REM Total Delay = 5 seconds
START D:\Steam\steamapps\common\wallpaper_engine\wallpaper64.exe

Hehe...classic batch files, never gets old even today ^^

I had the same problem right now, so i took your approach. But iCUE was opened maximized and i wanted to open it in system tray. So heres my solution if somebody wants it:

• I created a folder => "C:\iCUE_Wallpaper_Engine_autorun_fix"
  
• Than i created a new txt doc
  
• Write: CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False
  
• Save as "invisible.vbs" into that created folder
  
• Create new txt doc
  
• Write following lines:
  
• START /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Corsair\CORSAIR iCUE Software" iCUE.exe --autorun
  
• timeout 5
  
• START /d "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\wallpaper_engine" wallpaper64.exe
  
• EXIT
  
• Save as: "Start.bat" into that created folder
  
• WINR + R => shell:startup
  
• Create a new shortcut: Right-click -> new -> shortcut
  
• type:
  
• C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe "C:\iCUE_Wallpaper_Engine_autorun_fix\invisible.vbs" "C:\iCUE_Wallpaper_Engine_autorun_fix\Start.bat"

Of course you need to replace the locations of the executables with yours.

I hope i could help someone who will find this discussion!

Have fun!

Thanks for sharing. Just FYI, we do have a built-in delay for both Corsair and Razer now since no real fix was ever in sight. A custom delay can be set at the bottom of the plugins options screen and usually 1-2 minutes is enough.
