Does Fan Control still require WinRing0? I had WinRing0 as an exception in my antivirus until just the other night. I was under the impression Fan Control moved on from WinRing0 to Pawn. However, after removing the exception and Windows quarantining WinRing0, Fan Control is unable to find a lot of my sensors. When I search this reddit, I found a post from 6 months ago with similar errors with the solution of keeping WinRing0 as an exception.

Edit: Fan Control 2.70 is definitely still using WinRing0, at least on my machine. I restored WinRing0 from quarantine, and Fan Control 2.70 can see all these sensors again.

My motherboard is Gigabyte x670e Aorus Master. It has two controllers, IT8689E and IT8792E. Fan Control 2.70 with only PawnIO can only see IT8689E. Fan Control with WinRing0 can also see IT8792E.

There is a third controller, EC (I think embedded controller?), but Fan Control has never been able to access that and still cannot

Hello! In Devices, I have a Razer Addressable RGB Controller. That has 6 channels. The "default strip" for Channel 1 was 40 LEDs, but my hardware only has 12. Like the instructions said, I hit the + to look for my device, and the "default strip" was removed. I found my device, Cooler Master SickleFlow, and added it. However, it only shows 6 LEDs instead of 12.

I went back to remove it, and there's no way to remove it. I added another one, thinking that maybe it always needs at least one. I added a Custom Strip - 12. Now, either of those can be removed. I added a third, and that one could be removed: when I hovered my mouse over it, a little X appeared in the top corner for remove.

I closed and reopened, thinking it was a bug. The first two (Sickle Flow and Custom Strip -12) still couldn't be removed. I added another, just to see, an Airgoo ATX Streamer S1. Now it too cannot be removed. The screenshot shows what I see when hovering over a 4th one added, but those buttons do not appear with the other three.

How can I reset this device? I have just downloaded the program, so I don't care about losing and progress.

Thanks!
