Windows Update Unveils Game-Changing RGB Control Platform
Say goodbye to the hassle of managing your RGB devices with Windows Update's latest feature Microsoft has finally introduced a unified RGB management platform, eliminating the need for additional software This new development is a long-awaited upgrade that makes controlling your RGB lights a breeze
Microsoft is taking necessary steps towards establishing a unified RGB management platform on Windows. Despite being dominant in the gaming and enterprise industries, certain changes in recent years have compelled Microsoft to adopt long-awaited features.
One example of this is Valve's release of the Steam Deck, which quickly gained popularity as one of the best modern handheld gaming devices. This presented gamers with a viable operating system alternative to Windows - the SteamOS. While SteamOS is not yet a true contender to Windows as the go-to gaming OS, it is evident that Microsoft's seminal operating system is no longer the only option available.

Microsoft has taken a step towards increasing the functionality of the Windows OS for gamers by introducing a new feature that manages RGB lighting. Currently, most peripheral manufacturers provide their own proprietary RGB management solutions, such as Corsair’s iCUE utility. This has resulted in users being unable to connect third-party devices and synchronize their RGB lighting with each other. However, with the introduction of Windows 11’s Dynamic Lighting menu, users will be able to solve this issue once and for all.
Microsoft has announced that Windows users will soon be able to customize their RGB-enabled peripherals through a simple menu screen, without the need for third-party software. This new Dynamic Lighting feature shows that Microsoft is working to improve the overall user experience of the OS. While Valve's SteamOS has introduced several innovative features like OS-wide power draw and framerate caps, there has been no official announcement on its release. If Microsoft wants to compete with SteamOS, it may adopt similar features to create a more enjoyable gaming experience for Windows-based handhelds.
.
More positively, Microsoft and Xbox are on an upward trajectory. Recent revelations indicate that the CMA overstated Microsoft's cloud gaming market share to block the company's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. With various developments in the case, Microsoft may come out on top, securing a long-term win for the gaming giant.
