Hi @JohnR65 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Yes! You can turn off the flashing colored lights on your OMEN by HP 25L Gaming Desktop using OMEN Gaming Hub. Here’s how:

• Open OMEN Gaming Hub (if you don’t have it, download it from the Microsoft Store).
• Navigate to the Lighting tab.
• Select each Zone individually and set its Mode to OFF.
• Click Apply for each zone to save the changes.

If you’re still seeing lights, some users have found that older software versions (like OMEN Control) don’t work properly, so make sure you’re using OMEN Gaming Hub.

Let me know if you need more help—you're on the right track! 🚀

My Omen gaming hub didn't work so I uninstalled it and downloaded another one, Where are the lighting settings to be found? All I could find was a lighting studio and that didn't help. I'm an old technophobe so need more help please.

Thanks for getting back to us. I appreciate your time and efforts!!

It sounds like you're having trouble finding the lighting settings in OMEN Gaming Hub, especially after reinstalling it. No worries—I’ll guide you through it!

Steps to Turn Off Flashing Lights

Open OMEN Gaming Hub

• If you don’t have it, download it from the Microsoft Store or HP’s official site.

Navigate to the Lighting Tab

• Click on Light Studio (this is where lighting controls are now located).
• Select your OMEN device from the list.

Disable Lighting for Each Zone

• Click on each lighting zone individually.
• Set the Mode to OFF or choose a solid color with low brightness.
• Click Apply to save changes.

Run OMEN Gaming Hub as Administrator

• Close the app completely.
• Right-click the OMEN Gaming Hub shortcut and select Run as Administrator.
• This can help if settings aren’t applying correctly.

Additional Troubleshooting

• If Light Studio isn’t working, try reinstalling OMEN Gaming Hub from HP’s official site.
• HP’s RGB Lighting Guide explains customization in detail here.

Let me know if you need more help—I’ll make sure you get those lights turned off! 🚀

Thanks,

I have the light studio and can see my pc but don't see any zones soo can't turn them off?

@JohnR65, I see you were interacting with @Hawks_Eye however, he's away for now and I'd love to help you out!

Thanks for hanging in there—and I totally get how frustrating all those flashing lights can be, especially when you just want a calm workspace!

Since you're in Light Studio and can see your PC but not the zones, it likely means the software isn’t fully detecting the lighting components. Let’s try a couple of quick steps to get those zones to show up:

Try This:

Update OMEN Gaming Hub and Light Studio Plugin:

Open OMEN Gaming Hub > click on Settings (gear icon) > Check for updates.

Make sure the Light Studio plugin is also installed and updated (you might see a prompt for this).

Restart Everything:

Close the app completely.

Right-click the Gaming Hub icon > Run as administrator.

This helps give it permission to talk to your lighting hardware.

Reconnect the Lighting Service:

Go to Windows Services (Win + R > type services.msc)

Look for something like OMEN Light Service or HP Lighting Service.

Right-click > Restart.

Once the zones load, you should be able to click them, feel that little satisfaction of switching the mode to OFF, and enjoy a peaceful, darkened rig again 🌙✨

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!

Still doesn't work. I can see the light studio  but the zone selection only shows 3 buttons and select by devices.
