OmenCommandCenterBackground.exe blocks taskbar access.

[cock0sorus]

Few days ago, Omen Gaming Hub v1101.2505.6.0 updated and now, when i run it, the taskbar is not accessible. I have it set to Auto hide as i like it that way and NEVER had any issues before this update. When OGH is opened and active, ANY program in full screen or Maximized prevents access to the taskbar, meaning, when i hover over the bottom to UNhide it, it doesn't unhide. I have to either terminate the process 'OmenCommandCenterBackground.exe' or run my programs NOT in full screen mode which is ridiculous! Once the process 'OmenCommandCenterBackground.exe' is terminated, my fans go to Normal speed from Quiet which is also very annoying. I have all overlays off, no boosters, everything is disabled as i only use OGH for the fans and LED lights, nothing else. 

Also, my windows 11 24H2 starts up with Do Not Disturb ON when i have set to OFF. This update is really bad and should NOT be overriding any options in windows!

I have Nvidia RTX 3060Ti and most recent drivers and do not use ANY overlays or 3rd party software for that purpose. Nothing has changed on my desktop since this OGH update.

UPDATE: I have just uninstalled the 1101.2505.6.0 version and reinstalled my older Omen Gaming Hub v1101.2410.6.0 and everything is back to normal! My taskbar functions as it should, my fans are on Quiet mode and no issues.

I have blocked OGH from accessing the internet and also blocked MS Store from doing any updates until this gets fixed!
