Well i’ve experienced the black screen during install on a vm install before as well, so i feel like it has to be a more common issue atleast. I do agree with the rgb/fan software just being pretty ass in general, but i was also having issues with openrgb just not starting at boot randomly, but it worked when launched normally, so that does seem more like a windows issue to me, though i will say it has been working fine for a while now. In my vm install i’ve also had a windows update stopping my usb dac from working. Had to revert the update to get it working again, after finding a weird chatgpt article online about what was causing it lol.
