msi dragon center waiting for sdk initialize fix

Perused through DC's install directory but had no file that stood out as a system information log that could be deleted to force a rescan.Įdit: was correct in that deleting all the registry keys would help - however that is not entirely accurate. This is a bit of a strange and particular use-case. Swapping a base level variant of the GPU out for a higher-tier variant of the same card, both manufactured by MSI.Īt first the question was just what I needed, I only needed a way to force an update to show the new card. I however accidentally screwed up my machine by doing a somewhat messy uninstall of MSI's Dragon Center. I then spent the next 6 hours and another 8 hours the next day trying to figure out how to get it to re-install. So for anyone who is stuck with the same problem I had for the past 12+ hours where you could go to Settings > Apps > Dragon Center > Uninstall and then re-download and install from the Microsoft Store only to get stuck on 'Waiting for SDK loading' the fix is in the answer.Īlright - so I'll try to be thorough in my answer. I couldn't find anyone else who had this problem even after multiple hours of searching various search engines. Most people had a problem with 'Waiting on SDK Initialization' which is different (most had the problem with MSI Central Service not starting and that fixed that) but my problem was that the installer thought the first step (of two) was completed when in actuality it was not.
