My computer refuses to start Omen Control. My lights array slowly changes through the entire color spectrum and it's a bit annoying. Whenever I try to start it it gives me the error "HPOMENCont.exe: This application failed to start correctly (Error 0xc00007b). I tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it from https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Notebooks/Download-Omen-control-panel-software/td-p/5981195, as well as the HP event utility, but it still doesnt work. Also tried reinstalling the .Net drivers and still no luck. Any advice?

@TeslaShock Welcome to HP Community!
Here's what you need to do:
Click here to download the latest OMEN Command Center to resolve this issue.
If the issue persists, Click here to find and install the Bios and chip-set driver updates,
If the issue persists, is recover the original application from the recovery manager: Click here for instructions to retain the original Omen controller.
The only other thing to do is to uninstall the software and install a fresh copy from the Microsoft store: click here
