Perfect, put WindowsDynamicLightning to 3 by using a temporary number (Set it to 4 first, and then to 3) while moving the AmbientHAL from 3 to 2 as well.

I am dragging "Armoury Crate" to the top of the list under "Background light control" and am putting "Dynamic Lighting Background Controller" at the bottom while doing so to deprioritize it. Whenever I exit out of the Dynamic Lighting tab or exit settings, then go back in, it always resets or doesn't save and goes back to the "Dynamic Lighting Background Controller" being on top. How can I make this setting save?

Then you can rename the value to a higher number temporarily so you can rename the value you need to 1 and then reorder the others in the same way.

2025-08-18T10:56:15.15+00:00 Hi,
I'm Sumit, here to help with your query on the Microsoft Q&A forums.
Apologies for any inconvenience you are experiencing. I am happy to help you today.
Let me suggest Regsitry edit to fix this issue.
Press Windows+R keys on the keyboard, or Right-click Start on the Taskbar and choose Run.
Type regedit.exe
Press Enter.
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Lighting, and select the providers folder.
Take a screenshot of this and post in the next reply.
I look forward to your response and am eager to collaborate until we find a solution.
