First of all, thanks you for your project.
I modified it a bit to start desired mode automatically on program launch and also put this program in autorun on my system.

For anyone wanting to use this software - you can corrupt your bios if you dont stop the program before system shutdown.
I had my NUC working normal as usual, but when i started using this program, in one of reboots it just didnt come back.
The LED ring was stuck in a white color + 0.5 Hz fade, but the system was unresponsive, i wasn't able to access boot menus or bios itself.

After a few boot tries i got this message on screen:

BIOS has detected unsuccessful POST attempt(s).
Possible causes include resent changes to BIOS
Performance Options or recent hardware change.
Press ‘Y’ to enter Setup or ‘N’ to cancel and attempt
to boot with previous settings.

And it wont boot, no matter what i tried.
Flashing bios didnt helped either.

Only thing that helped me - removing BIOS security jumper inside (then led ring goes back to default blue color and it seems to helps with accessing bios) and then switching "SW control" to something else in options for led controller.
Then after returning orange jumper system boots again.

This issue is for people who got into same situation as me.
My nuc model is "NUC6CAYS"
