Is there a way to permanently disable the suggested destinations in Google Maps on Android Auto, or are we just stuck with this?

Every single time I drive, Google Maps decides to helpfully recommend destinations like Home and Work, presumably based on the time of day, my location and driving habits.

And sure, I get the idea. It's trying to be helpful. But here's the thing: I bloody well know where I live and where I work. 😂

The suggestions take up a ridiculous amount of screen real estate, so I have to tap the little arrow in the search bar to collapse them and actually see more of the map.

But wait, there's more! Switch to Spotify, go back to Google Maps, and BOOM. There they are again. It's like the suggestions have the memory of an elephant, except they completely forget that I just dismissed them five seconds ago.

Why can't Google just remember that I prefer the suggestions collapsed? Better yet, why isn't there a simple setting to disable them permanently?

Am I missing something obvious here, or is this just another one of those Google features that nobody asked for but we're apparently supposed to love?

Has anyone found a permanent solution that doesn't involve switching navigation apps or disabling useful features elsewhere?

Hi Corsair team,

First off, I love iCUE. I've invested heavily into the Corsair ecosystem, and one of my favourite things is creating game-specific profiles with their own lighting, fan curves and cooling behaviour.

However, there's one limitation that has been bothering me for years, and after months of experimenting, I genuinely believe this would be much better solved inside iCUE itself.

> TL;DR: iCUE currently switches profiles based on window focus. This is especially noticeable for single-monitor gamers, where a quick Alt+Tab to Google something causes iCUE to revert to the Default profile even though the game is still running and generating heat. I'd love to see an optional process-based profile mode that keeps the game profile active until the linked application closes.

The problem

Today, iCUE switches profiles based on window focus.

For many users that's perfectly fine, but for those of us who primarily game on a single monitor, it creates a surprisingly frustrating situation.

A typical gaming session looks like this:

• Launch World of Warcraft.
• iCUE switches to my WoW profile.
• My fans ramp up because the game profile uses a more aggressive cooling curve.
• I Alt+Tab for 30 seconds to look something up on Wowhead, Reddit or Discord.
• iCUE immediately switches back to my Default profile because WoW no longer has focus.

The problem is that the game is still running and actively using the CPU and GPU.

My system is still under gaming load, but iCUE has already reverted to my quiet desktop profile simply because another window has focus.

In my case, my Default profile is intentionally tuned to be almost silent while browsing and working. That's exactly what I want... when I'm actually browsing.

But during those quick Alt+Tab moments, the PC is still effectively gaming while cooling has already dropped back to desktop levels. This can lead to unnecessary temperature spikes simply because I wanted to Google something for a minute.

I don't think I'm the only person who regularly Alt+Tabs during a gaming session.

After months of frustration...

Instead of continuing to work around it manually, I decided to build my own solution.

Using AutoHotkey together with a Virtual Stream Deck, I detect whether a game's process is running and automatically trigger the corresponding iCUE profile.

The result is exactly the behaviour I was hoping for:

• Launch the game → activate the game profile.
• Alt+Tab as much as I want → keep the game profile active.
• Close the game → automatically return to my Default profile.

I've been running this solution for about five months, and it has worked flawlessly.

That convinced me this isn't just a theoretical idea—it's a workflow that already works extremely well outside of iCUE.

My suggestion

I'm not suggesting changing the current behaviour.

Instead, I'd love to see an optional per-profile setting, something like:

> Keep this profile active while the linked application is running (use process detection instead of window focus).

When enabled, iCUE would simply keep the selected profile active until the linked process exits, regardless of which window currently has focus.

When disabled, iCUE would behave exactly as it does today.

That means existing users wouldn't notice any change unless they specifically chose to enable the feature.

Why this would be useful

While fan curves are what originally motivated me, this wouldn't just benefit cooling.

It would also improve the experience for users who have game-specific:

• RGB layouts (no more lighting changing every time you Alt+Tab)
• Mouse DPI
• Macros
• Key remaps
• Fan curves and cooling presets

These settings are generally intended for the entire gaming session, not just the moments when the game window happens to have focus.

One of iCUE's biggest strengths has always been customization, and more flexibility is rarely a bad thing. Adding this as an optional feature would allow users to choose the behaviour that best fits how they actually use their PC, without changing the experience for anyone who prefers the current focus-based system.

I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks.

Am I the only one running into this, or would you also use an optional process-based profile mode?
