Sorry, I was suggesting unplugging the RGB cable from the GPU itself, it looks accessible without disassembling anything. There are two headers right next to the PCI-E connector and I’d say the 4-pin one is the one to remove. Can always plug it back in later if you happen to change your mind and need that sweet RGB LED action! :)

Looking at pictures of the card, the rgb header is right next to the PCIE connector. Could just unplug it.

Doesn’t hurt to try. I weened myself off Windows by using linux every single day and fiddling around for a few hours. Eventually it just clicked and i very rarely boot up Windows nowadays for apps that will not run on linux. Good luck!

omg! I had this same exact shit happen when I tried to delete the game folder for a game pass game. I spent literal hours escalating permissions, shifting ownership around and banging my head against the desk. Nothing from within Windows allowed me to gain sufficient power to delete that folder. That made me realize I didn’t own the computer I was using, Microsoft did. Live-cd booting into Ubuntu made for a quick resolution, though.
