Суть проблемы такова: недавно переустанавливал Dragon Center и после переустановки приложение перестало запускаться, точнее, оно виснет на данном этапе:
Вернее, оно не виснет в буквальном смысле, но этот процесс «инициализации» длится бесконечно.
Я чистил реестр, удалял подчистую при помощи Reg Organizer как драгон центр, так и SDK и устанавливал заново — ничего не помогает, я пытался рестартить компьютер после установки каждого компонента, что также не помогло.

UPD UPD UPD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Уже сам нашёл решение, но видел много подобных проблем и такого решения как моё не нашёл, поэтому, оставлю его здесь.
Бесконечная инициализация вызвана остановленной службой MSI Central Service.
В моём списке служб, если найти её и открыть свойства можно было увидеть отсутствующий исполняемый файл.
Для решения я прописал в консоли, запущенной от имени администратора команду: sc delete MSI_Central_Service (имя службы также можно найти в свойствах)
Помимо прочего, я устанавливал отдельно Mystic Light, поэтому его служба у меня тоже была установлена. Её я снёс аналогичной командой sc delete Mystic_Light_Service.
Если у вас есть служба драйверов Nahimic, она располагается там же. С ней проделал аналогичные действия.
И вот после всего этого, я снова установил пакет SDK, причём его в первую очередь, рестартнул компьютер, убедился, что служба запущена, обнаружив вновь появившиеся Central Service, Mystic Light и nahimic, после чего снова скачал последнюю версию драгон центра.
Теперь всё запускается, надеюсь, я кому-то помогу.
MSI Dragon Center unleashes the full potential of your MSI hardware, but only when it’s working properly. Many players are reporting that Dragon Center doesn’t work as expected on their rigs. The prominent issues include RGB not syncing/not working and stuck on Waiting for SDK Initialization.
But don’t worry if you happen to be on the same boat. There’re several ways you can fix it right away.
Try these fixes:
You might not need to try them all. Simply work down the list until you hit the one that does the charm.
- Waiting for SDK Initialization
- Check for latest Windows updates
- Make sure all drivers are up to date
- Reinstall Dragon Center via Microsoft Store
- Check if your system is corrupted
Fix 1: Waiting for SDK Initialization
There’re many players reporting a stuck on Waiting for SDK Initialization issue. If you’re having the same error, you can first try to reinstall Dragon Center completely and see how it goes. Also, you need to make sure the related services are configured properly. Here’s how:
- On your keyboard, press Win+R (the Windows logo key and R key) and type or paste services.msc. Then click OK.
- Right click MSI Central Service and select Properties.
- Make sure the service is running, and Startup type is set to Automatic.
Fix 2: Check for latest Windows updates
System updates in Windows 10 provide hotfixes that target compatibility problems. When troubleshooting software issues, you need to make sure you’re on the latest system.
- On your keyboard, press Win+R (the Windows logo key and the R key) to invoke the Run box. Type or paste control update and click OK.
- Click Check for updates. Windows will then check for available updates. (Or click Restart now if it prompts “Restart required”)
Once you’re done, restart Dragon Center and check if it’s working properly.
If this doesn’t help you, take a look at the next fix below.
Fix 3: Make sure all drivers are up to date
Dragon Center relies on drivers to control your clock speed and RGB. So more often than not it would be a driver issue, meaning you could be using faulty or outdated computer drivers. You should always make sure you have the latest drivers just so you can get the most of the hardware while avoiding tons of strange issues.
You can update drivers manually, by going to your hardware/laptop manufacturers’ websites, finding the correct installer and installing step-by-step. But if you don’t have the time or patience to update manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy.
- Download and install Driver Easy.
- Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
- Click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system.
(This requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All. If you don’t want to pay for the Pro version, you can still download and install all the drivers you need with the free version; you just have to download them one at a time, and manually install them, the normal Windows way.)
The Pro version of Driver Easy comes with full technical support. If you need assistance, please contact Driver Easy’s support team at support@drivereasy.com.
Once you’ve updated all the drivers, restart your PC and test Dragon Center.
If the latest drivers don’t give you luck, simply move on to the next solution.
Fix 4: Reinstall Dragon Center via Microsoft Store
Sometimes glitches happen, especially during installation. Or it could be corrupted profiles or config files. In these cases, a clean reinstallation might just fix the issue right away.
- First you need to purge Dragon Center from your system. On your keyboard, press Win+I (the Windows logo key and the I key) and click Apps.
- Under Apps & features, click the input box and type Dragon Center. Select Dragon Center and click Uninstall.
- Next, search and uninstall MSI SDK.
- Restart your PC.
- You can now use the installer from the official site. Or you can install via Microsoft Store. To do that, on the bottom left corner, click the Windows icon and select Microsoft Store.
- On the top right corner, click the search box and type Dragon Center. Press Enter.
- Under Apps, select MSI Dragon Center. Click Get to install.
Once completed, launch Dragon Center and check if it works now.
If the issue reappears, take a look at the next solution.
Fix 5: Check if your system is corrupted
If none of the fixes work for you, you might want to check the integrity of your system. We use our PC differently, which makes it hard to troubleshoot programs one by one. In other words, you need a powerful tool to check and repair your system.
Fortect is a professional Windows repair tool that can scan your system’s overall status, diagnose your system configuration, identify faulty system files, and repair them automatically. It gives you entirely fresh system components with just one click, so you don’t have to reinstall Windows and all your programs.

Ошибка фирменного софта MSI, связанная с неработоспособностью некоторых служб.
Данное сообщение может появляться при запуске фирменного софта компании MSI, например — Dragon Center, пример ошибки:
Данная надпись может висеть вечно. Повторная переустановка программы, чистка реестра, использование утилиты CCleaner — не даст желаемого результата.
Ошибка Waiting for SDK initialization (бесконечная инициализация) вызвана остановкой сервиса MSI Central Service. При попытке вручную найти данную службу (запустить список можно зажав Win + R > команда services.msc) — пишет отсутствует файл. На форуме MSI было найдено следующее решение:
- Запустите командную строку от администратора, далее укажите команду удаления службы: sc delete MSI_Central_Service
- При наличии установленной утилиты Mystic Light — также удалите сервис данной программы аналогичной командой: sc delete Mystic_Light_Service
- При наличии службы Nahimic — удалите таким же способом.
РЕКЛАМА
PS: узнать название сервиса для удаления можно в свойствах (Win + R > services.msc), смотрите поле Имя службы.
После удаления сервисов — первым делом повторно установите пакет MSI SDK (предварительно выполнив деинсталляцию), после выполните перезагрузку персонального компьютера, убедитесь в корректной работе служб. Далее — устанавливайте фирменный софт MSI (например Dragon Center).
PS: удалять пакет SDK можно используя специальные удаляторы Revo Uninstaller или Uninstall Tool. Однако сперва необходимо создать точку восстановления, а лучше образ системы.
Некоторым работоспособность ПО Dragon Center вернул сброс настроек BIOS (обычно отвечает настройка Load Setup Default).
Один пользователь предложил способ исправить: сперва деинсталлировал MSI Dragon Center, после — удалил MSI SDK, далее перезагрузка компьютера. Затем — установка Dragon Center, как результат — приложение стало корректно функционировать. Также пользователи пишут — достаточно удалить SDK > запустить Dragon Center > далее следовать подсказкам на экране.

MSI Dragon Centre NOT Installing! Waiting for SDK…… FIX
OK, so my MSI dragon centre went a little funny on me the other day and would not function after removing it I got what is all over the forums about it will not work after a reinstall or the SDK is waiting forever here is the fix I have found and tried and tested it.
1 — Uninstall MSI Dragon Centre the usual way of ADD/REMOVE Programs via windows.
2 — Navigate to: This PC, Local Disk (C:\), Program Files (X86), MSI
In here there may be a hidden folder so Click View and select Hidden Items. If a file shows up then delete it.
3 — Reboot your system
4 — Click this link provided and install it https://liveupdate.msi.com/autobios/OneDC/Release/OneDC_SDK.exe
5 — Now install the latest version of MSI Dragon Centre (DO NOT LAUNCH THE PROGRAM)
6- Reboot again, upon this reboot MSI Dragon Centre will auto start and you should see it fully working again.
There is another way that works also.
1 — Have your broken Dragon Centre installed
2 — Download and install the link provided for the SDK
3 — Download Revo Uninstaller and install
4- Open Revo Uninstaller on the list you will only see MSI_SDK (Good)
5 — Windows ADD/Remove Programs and delete Dragon Centre ONLY.
6 — Revo Uninstaller and uninstall MSI_SDK. This will bring up another box click advanced and remove is all EVERYTHING will go from the registry and left behind files. If done correctly Revo will tell you to reboot to remove the files remaining.
7. Revo Reboot.
8. Microsoft Store — Dragon Centre and install
9. Open MSI Dragon Centre and you should now be prompted that you need MSI_SDK. Just follow the instructions provided.
10. Dragon Centre will automatically realise that the SDK file is installed and will continue to do all of its own updates until fully installed and working.
I hope this helps most of you out there as this is not the first time this has happened to myself and I forgot how to fix it so now I have made note.

If your MSI Dragon Center keeps crashing or stops working after a certain time, then you need to install a stable version of this app.
Usually, people download this utility app from the official site by selecting their laptop/desktop model number. But the problem is, most of the application files aren’t compatible with your laptop. That’s why you need the offline version of the app.
Almost 80% of the MSI Dragon Center app errors will be solved if you get yourself the offline version of the app. We have the updated 100% working version of this free app. So, don’t wait and download MSI Dragon Center and enjoy your glorious time with your gaming setup.

How to Fix MSI Dragon Center Blocked by Firewall
MSI Dragon Center often gets stuck, showing a message that it’s being blocked by Firewall, antivirus, or any other applications. Minor adjustments to your computer can fix this silly problem. Fixing MSI Dragon Center blocked by Firewall is very easy. All you need to do is go to C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\One Dragon Center and run the MSI.CentralServer.exe file as an administrator. After that, open MSI Dragon Center and will not show that error again.
If you still face the error message, then be sure to exclude the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\One Dragon Center from scanning inside your antivirus application, and your problem will be solved.
Usually, other apps don’t clash with the MSI Dragon Center app. But if you have RGB light controlling apps on your pc other than the MSI Dragon Center, then I would recommend you to uninstall it or at least close the application from the task manager while running MSI Dragon Center. These utility apps run in the background, and that’s why you need to close these apps by right-clicking on them in the task manager and selecting End task. from our site.
If you want you can also Download MSI Mystic Light RGB Utility from our site.
MSI Dragon Center Alternatives
MSI Dragon Center is an awesome app as it has so many features built into it. You can do almost everything from controlling your RGB lights to overclocking your PC components which is a very tough job if you do it manually.
But using the app won’t be worth it if it doesn’t run on your device properly for any hardware compatibility issues.
That is why I will recommend you to use the MSI mystic light sync app for RGB lighting controls. And use MSI afterburner for hardware monitoring and overclocking. These two apps are also official apps from MSI, and they will do a perfect job in serving you for sure.
MSI mystic light sync is a user-friendly app by which you can control the RGB lighting of your PC components. You will get various gorgeous lighting presets with this app. And there are options to change lighting color and effects of each PC component individually too.
On the other hand MSI Afterburner is the number one app for overclocking your PC. People use this app for monitoring and custom tuning(overclocking) their graphics card processor and case fans. And the best thing is, this app can overclock almost every GPU released so far seamlessly. And so, MSI Afterburner is the king of all overclocking utilities.
MSI Mystic light sync and MSI afterburner together act as a great alternative to MSI Dragon Center for both the MSI laptop and desktop users.
