Hi,
Post complete system specifications and components.

Is this a prebuild or custom build?

In the case of prebuilt PC one of the first things I recommend after simply making sure it operates properly is a fresh and clean OS install. Get rid of all that bloatware mess that comes with. After that, I typically uninstall One Drive, go to Ninite and get the installer I need for a few things I use. I then go into the settings and in particular in background apps and privacy settings and turn off or uninstall anything I don't use. I turn off or disable Cortana, turn off recommendations, disable (certain) "widgets" as they are being called again. Basically, reducing the number of processes running. I typically also go to startup programs and turn things off that I don't need to load on start.

Step 1: remove windows
Step 2: install Linux

Joking
You already got SAM and PBO. Make sure your ram speed is right also.

After a clean reinstall, follow this:

Keep in mind if you're going to muck around in Windows that requires elevating user privileges (i.e., triggers UAC), make sure you actually know what's it doing before doing it. Don't just blindly follow a guide or click everything a program says "should be" safe to tweak.

App developers can only assume you're using the default system level settings and/or behavior.

Its a custom built PC (so no vendor software) but i got a PC store to assemble it for me.

Im actually having a problem turning off the RGB lights for the casing and cooler fans...the open RGB software doesnt do anything, and turning off the AURA LEDs in the BIOS doesnt work either.

I dont see anything wrong, seems plugged in correctly :

According to the model of the fans and case they may not be controllable. Many products today are sold with the "pretty lights" that either don't or won't sync with the various lighting apps. IMO with so many variants out there it is often required to build your system with the lighting software as a main consideration for hardware selection.

Where did you see that its not controllable?

I didn't. In reference to your saying you couldn't turn them off or change them and they may just be "on as they are" unless you unplug the power wire for the lighting itself. You mention, if I understood correctly) that these are case fans and case.

RGB control tends to be its own mess, really.
