Logitech G Hub services (LGHub Agent, LGHub Updater, and Logitech Gaming Framework) must be running in the background. To check this:

1. Right-click the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and open Task Manager.

2. Navigate to the Services tab and look for them.

Top Tip: Right-click on the G Hub shortcut and select Run as administrator.

If this works, right-click on the shortcut again, go to Properties > Compatibility, and check Run this program as an administrator. This means it’ll always run as admin from now on.

5. Update or Reinstall Logitech Device Drivers

All the peripherals you use with G Hub rely on device drivers to function on Windows. If any of these are outdated or corrupted, it could prevent the software from launching correctly.

1. Launch the Device Manager by pressing the Windows key + X.

2. Scroll through the list, expanding each category, to locate all your Logitech devices.

3. Make special note of any devices with a yellow warning symbol, as this suggests they aren’t working properly.

4. Click Update driver and allow Windows to locate it automatically or download it from the manufacturer’s website.

5. Alternatively, PC Helpsoft Driver Updater can recognize and update outdated or corrupted drivers. This driver tool also backs up and restores your system if something goes wrong with the process.

6. Check Windows Update

A corrupted update can mess with Logitech G Hub. Go to Settings > Windows Update > Check for Updates. If Resume is an option, complete the process.
