The settings in Intel ARC control go back to default settings after pressing alt+i.

[Erwin06]

Hello,

I want to report a bug.

With the latest Intel ARC control version 31.0.101.4369 the settings go back to default settings after pressing alt+i.

To reproduce:

Open Intel control in the system tray do some settings close Intel control, open Intel control with alt+i and the settings go back to default settings or wait some time 10 min or longer and open Intel control again in the system tray and it also defaults the settings.

Also i get a error when pressing on record.

Make sure you are not connected to a VPN. Error code -17

I didn't have these problems with the previous version.

Hello Erwin06,

Thank you for posting on the Intel️® communities. We would be more than glad to help you with your issue.

We are currently working on a fix to solve the issues where the Arc Control settings keep going back to default values after relaunching the app. The driver developer team is investigating this matter. However, we are unable to commit to an estimated time or updates regarding this matter, but rest assured that we are working on it.

Since this requires more effort on our end and to avoid duplicate efforts, we are considering closing this thread. But we would like to confirm whether or not you agree with us to close the thread.

Best regards

Hello Jean,

Does the VPN bug also get fixed or is this part of the same problem recording isnt possible now.

I also have a problem that the Intel driver updates say that there is no internet connection or something.

Best regards,

Erwin.

Hello Erwin06

For the issue with the capture feature on the Intel® Arc™ Control Panel showing the error "Device operation failed, make sure you are connected to VPN, error code -17", you should try the following recommendations:

1. Open Intel Arc Control and go to Studio > Capture > Capture.
2. Check the default File location (by default, it is C:\Users\<userid>\Videos).
3. Go to C:\Users\<userid>\Video using Windows* File Explorer and verify that the Videos folder exists.
4. Go back to the Capture setting from Step 2 and click "Start." Verify recording starts without errors.
5. If an error is persistent, then go to step 2 and change the location to another existing folder location and verify if the issue is resolved.

Regarding the driver update issue, and assuming this issue is part of the Intel® Arc™ Control, we recommend you uninstall and reinstall the graphics driver and Arc Control:

• Uninstall Arc Control:
  • Press the Windows key.
  • Click on settings.
  • Select Apps and then select Apps & Features.
  • Search for Intel® Arc™ Control software.
  • Click on it and select the option to uninstall.
• To uninstall and reinstall the graphics driver, see: Clean Installation of Intel® Graphics Drivers in Windows*, and install the latest driver available, 31.0.101.4255.

However, since the issues you report are different, we recommend you open a new thread for each subject to keep the conversation organized and avoid confusion.

Hello Jean,

I did step 1 to 5 but still the VPN error and when i close ARC control and open it again everything is going to default settings also the path for the video's, so no point of doing this.

This VPN error is also a bug in the latest version ARC control.

Best Regards,

Erwin

Hello,

Also it doesn't make sense to me that a VPN error has anything to do with a file location.

Regards,

Erwin

Hello Erwin06,

Thanks for the information provided.

We understand that you don't see why we recommend changing the File location for the VPN issue; however, multiple users have reported that the issue is solved after doing these steps.

Also, we would like to confirm if you have tried to reinstall the Intel® Arc™ Control using the steps we previously shared.

Best regards

Hello Jean,

I will reinstall the driver, but 42.55 isnt the latest driver, i think u mean 43.69.

After the reinstall i have the same problems still the VPN error, using a different folder doesnt fix the problem.

Regards,

Erwin

[Erwin06]

Hello Jean,

I did a clean install with the previous driver version .4314 and this fixed both my problems.

No VPN error and all settings are saved.

The VPN error is a new bug in the latest version.

Hope this helps fixing it.

Best Regards,

Erwin,

Hello Erwin06,

Thanks for the information provided

We recommend you run the DDU tool to eliminate all the driver files leftovers from the previous driver version. Once you run the tool, you should install our latest driver, 31.0.101.4369. Files from previous installations of drivers can linger on a system which can cause driver updates to not work as expected.

Also, we would like to check when using driver 31.0.101.4225 none of the issues are present, correct?

Hello Jean,

I uninstalled the driver with DDU, then i installed driver .4369 and both problems are back, settings not saved and when pressing record i get the VPN error. audio devices are also set to systemstandard in these settings.

With previous drivers i dont have these problems.

Intel can beter pull this drive from the download site because it hase a big bug making de program unusable. 

Because this Intel card has a boot problem, i will now 1st send it the the shop for RMA.

See other thread:

community.intel.com/t5/Intel-ARC-Graphics/DP-UEFI-protocols-causing-the-problems-with-my-2-Asus-monitors/m-p/1490176#M4637 

With driver .4369 i also see on the monitor tab that the Intel card is connected to DP, but i have the Intel card connected with a HDMI cable.

Best regards,

Erwin
