so i recently got a new Logitech G502 and i downloaded LGS online it worked fine i changed some settings then it randomly wouldn't open anymore and my mouse macros stopped working.
I have tried a reinstall for it and in task manager Lcore.exe is running.
 
Solution
"I have tried a reinstall for it and in task manager Lcore.exe is running."

Open Task Manager, click on Lcore.exe to highlight it, then click "End process".
Wait a few seconds then try uninstalling the LGS software again.

Then download & re-install it.

I have been working at this issue for hours trying every possible solution mentioned on the Internet. Nothing seems to be working. I have a g910 a g502 and a g930. The Logitech gaming software was working just fine until tonight. I did install a new graphics card 970 ftw and updated the drivers. I believe that triggered the issue originally. But now no matter what I do of what version of the Logitech gaming software I install it simply will not open. I have tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers, installing countless versions of C++ and there is nothing. Lcore will not launch at all.

Machine specs are
Mobo: MSI z170 titanium edition
Processor: Intel i7 6700K

RAM: 16gb Gskill rip jaws DDR4 2400

Card: 970 FTW EVGA

WINDOWS 10 Home

I'm having this exact problem after updating today, but your fix didn't work for me. It's rather frustrating.

Hi

Just got a G900, and at first it was fine, with the latest 8.88.3 software, 64bit Windows 10. The I did the in software firmware update. I thought it was ok, but after reboot, I could no longer load the software. It would show up in task manager but never open. If I disconnected the receiver, it then opened, but plugging the receiver back in and the software locked up.

I then downloaded the G900 Chaos Spectrum Firmware, ran it again and it updated the receiver firmware. Now it's all working perfectly.

Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
