I have had Spledid on my ASUS PC ever since I got my PC a year ago, and it doesn't seem to do any beneficial. Almost everytime I shut down my computer, my PC says colorUservice is preventing it from shutdown. So I have now uninstalled Splendid and expect colorUsevice to stop annoy me anymore when shutting down my computer. The computer seems faster now, but I'm not sure. I have not seen any downsides yet of having it uninstalled. I will report back here if I see any downsides of unistalling Splendid which contains colorUsevice.exe

@Jake - had same problem after upgrading to Windows 10. Copied msvcp100.dll from win\system32 to win\syswow64 and that solved missing .dll message but still getting colorUservice error.

I developed this problem when I loaded Windows 10 onto my ASUS notebook. I went to the ASUS site and contacted support via chat. They said that ColorUService allows you to adjust screen contrast. They gave me a link to a site where I could download a new copy/update. It seems to be OK now.

Great website I just found. Had same problem as others after upgrading to Windows 10 on ASUS laptop. I had two occasions of msvcp100.dll missing. One was caused by ASUS Splended that I uninstalled. The second was caused by Adobe Reader that I reinstalled. Both problems are now resolved.

Hi. When I was on Windows 8.1, I used to get a pop-up window everytime I shut down my system warning me that ColorUService was still running.
Now that I upgraded to Windows 10, I don't see this pop-up anymore, but I'm still not sure if I need to do something and what to do exactly.
Should I uninstall it from my PC ?
Will it cause problems if I do so ?
