Logitech mouse mayhem traced to expired dev certificate
"Both applications are used for managing Logitech accessories. For mice, this includes everything from DPI settings and app-specific button layouts to how 1337 their RGB lights look. For keyboards, think customizable macros and other automations, and devices like webcams, presentation remotes, and streaming lights are also managed using this software."
""The certificate that expired is used to secure inter-process communications, and the expiration resulted in the software not being able to start successfully," Logitech confirmed via a support page. "It is not related to internet connection and affects the Options+ offline installer as well.""
""Because the certificate also affected the in‑app updater, you will need to manually download and install the updated version of the app," the support article explains. Users can download a new patch installer for the respective mouse management apps, and Logitech said both should retain previously saved settings and configurations after being installed."
An expired developer certificate prevented Logitech's macOS device-management apps G HUB and Logi Options+ from starting by breaking inter-process communications. Users experienced changed scroll directions, nonfunctional mapped buttons, lost custom gestures, and other configuration failures; some could not reinstall due to spinning installers. The expiration affected both the in‑app updater and the offline installer, requiring manual patch installation. Logitech released a manual patch for affected apps and advised users to download and install updated installers; previously saved settings and configurations should be retained after installation. A company spokesperson apologized to affected customers.
