Where Does ASRock Polychrome Store Profiles?
Where ASRock Polychrome RGB keeps profiles on Windows, plus BIOS versus app roles. See the folder table below.
Last updated
ASRock Polychrome tunes RGB from Windows with local profiles. Your effects and zones live in config files on the PC. The motherboard keeps separate defaults that survive app reinstalls.
Same board plus Polychrome release means profiles apply. Exact config names shift with releases. Keep the service running for applied effects to hold. If profiles vanish, check the version first. Major updates often migrate formats and drop incompatible effects without warning. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.
Where ASRock Polychrome stores this, by platform
C:\ProgramData\ASRock\Polychrome (profiles, plus AppData cache)
Profiles live locally in ProgramData and AppData config files. Board keeps separate defaults. Match Polychrome releases before importing old profiles.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Polychrome profiles to a new PC?
Profiles live in Polychrome config files under ProgramData and AppData, so copy those with the app closed. Board lighting also follows BIOS settings on some models. Install the matching Polychrome release first, since new versions sometimes refuse old profile formats.
Does Polychrome change BIOS lighting?
No. Polychrome writes effects to board controllers from Windows. The BIOS keeps its own independent lighting defaults. App profiles live locally. Deleting app data resets views but never touches board defaults. Effects need reapplying after reinstalls.
