How to configure

Connect your UltraBARX to your Windows PC in a few simple steps.

Connect CoreBar to your PC

Use a data-capable Type-C cable to connect CoreBar's PC port to your Windows PC's USB port.

Make sure the cable supports data transfer (not just charging)
Windows will automatically detect CoreBar as a HID device
Note: Deep PC integration currently supports Windows 10 and 11 only

💡 See the Getting Started guide for connection details →

Open Ultra Workspace

Launch Ultra Workspace on your PC. Your CoreBar should appear in the device list.

If CoreBar is not detected, check the Type-C connection and restart Ultra Workspace
Make sure Ultra Workspace has the necessary permissions

Enable PC Integration

In Ultra Workspace, navigate to Settings → Integrations → PC and toggle Enable PC Monitoring.

Ultra Workspace will start collecting system data
You'll see CPU, GPU, and RAM usage appear in the widget library

Add System Monitor widgets

From the widget library, drag CPU Usage, GPU Usage, RAM Usage, or Network Speed onto your CoreBar screen simulator.

Arrange them however you like — gauges, graphs, or compact indicators.

💡 You can add these widgets to any Profile. They'll update in real time.

Configure PC Boot (optional)

If you have the optional PC Boot PCIe module:

Install the PCIe module in your PC's motherboard
In Ultra Workspace, go to Settings → PC Boot
Follow the pairing instructions to link your CoreBar to the PCIe module
Once paired, you can power on your PC from anywhere in the room via CoreBar

🔌 PC Boot works even when your PC is fully powered off (requires standby power).

Common issues

Quick fixes for the most common PC connection problems.

⚠

CoreBar not detected by Windows

Check that the Type-C cable supports data transfer (try a different cable)
Try a different USB port on your PC
Restart Ultra Workspace and re-connect the cable
Check Device Manager for any driver issues
