Hi Ahmed H. Al-Khars,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the Gigabyte Control Center. Let's try to troubleshoot and address each of your concerns:

  1. Issues with Minimizing Windows and Games:
    • Check for conflicting software. Some third-party applications or overlays can interfere with the proper functioning of system control software. Try disabling or uninstalling any such software temporarily to see if the problem persists.
    • Verify if your graphics drivers are up to date. Visit the official website of your graphics card manufacturer to download and install the latest drivers.
      • Disable Overlays: Some overlay features in GCC might conflict with other applications. Try disabling any overlays or additional features.
      • Compatibility Mode: Right-click on the GCC executable and choose "Properties." Under the "Compatibility" tab, try running it in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows.
  2. GCC not detecting RAM, CPU cooler, and fan control:
    • Make sure you have installed the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard. These drivers are crucial for proper communication between hardware components and control software.
      • GCC Permissions: Run GCC as an administrator. Sometimes it needs elevated permissions to access hardware information.
  3. PC Overall Performance:
    • If your PC performance is slow, it might not be directly related to the Gigabyte Control Center. Check for other factors such as background processes, unnecessary startup programs, or malware.
  4. Contact Gigabyte Support:
    • If the problems persist after trying the above steps, consider reaching out to Gigabyte's official support. They may provide specific guidance or updates related to your motherboard and software.

I hope this helps.  If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Your Sincerely

How to Fix Gigabyte Control Center Not Opening After Windows 10 Update | IT trip
April 15, 2025 - Have you ever booted up your PC to find that your Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) just won’t open? You’re not alone—countless users have experienced this after installing the latest Windows Update KB5034843 (OS Build 19045.4123) on Windows 10. In many cases, the issue isn’t just random: it often seems tied to specific .NET dependencies and conflicts introduced by other installed software, especially Citrix Workspace.

Question - Gigabyte Control Centre | Tom's Hardware Forum
April 9, 2024 - If it is neccesary to install BIOS/UEFI updates in order, GCC offers and installs them in order. Since F21 is offered for your motherboard, you can go straight to the latest version. ... Thanks, since I managed to build the pc successfully, and, as you say, the Bios version is very early, I'll take the risk and update, then leave things alone. ... I had a minor blip initially because, when checking the Gigabyte Control Centre info, I noticed that my motherboard was not mentioned in the list of suitable motherboards, so I contacted Gigabyte to check and they responded very quickly in the affirmative.

r/gigabyte on Reddit: Gigabyte Control Center
3 weeks ago -

Does anyone else have the same problem and can explain why GGC can no longer control my RAM RGB? It was working fine until recently, and now the setting is missing in GGC. Could this be a bug caused by updates? I’ve already reinstalled it, but it still doesn’t work.

Afternoon all!

For those that have been effected by the latest GCC updated. Please make sure error logging is enabled in GCC.

And can you respond with the model of your gpu (revision too if its more than 1.0) and a copy of the error log.

You can also drop these error logs to me in the Aorus discord, and i'll pass them upward.

Also, if you can check in C:\Program Files\GIGABYTE\Control Center\logs too, that will be helpful.

for anyone that is still on 23.03.02.01, please, stay there!

UPDATE

If you can forward your error logs before doing this, this will help getting this bug fixed :)

But, for the mean time.

Navigate to C:\Program Files\GIGABYTE\Control Center\Lib\Download

Locate GBT_VGA_23.03.10.01.exe, and reinstall it from here.

This has fixed it my end, but some confirmation would be nice!

UPDATE 2 For those that do not have GBT_VGA_23.03.10.01.exe locally on their machine, here is a direct link from gigabytes servers. https://mb.download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Swhttp/LiveUpdate4/GCC/GBT_VGA/GBT_VGA_23.03.10.01.exe

UPDATE 3 Gigabyte has pushed out an update on the 11th of april that fixes the issue around GBT_VGA_23.04.07.02. GBT_VGA_23.04.11.01 is now available for download within GCC.

UPDATE 4 There may still be issues, if you have any, please post them below.
