tested on H61 and H81 SMB "nothing found"

[ankarle]

Hi, tested on H61 and H81 SMB I get on both "nothing found", is there anything I have to do or the chipsets aren't supported yet?

Are you running the program as admin?

[ankarle]

yes I did run as admin, moreover I tried in the meantime on another two pcs with LGA1150, same result. All the pcs have windows 10 x64

[1a2m3]

When you run the program, does event log show any driver info?

Please also post a CPU-Z report by running report.cmd from the archive attached and paste the txt contents here (or on pastebin and post a link).

[ankarle]

no, which driver should I install?

[1a2m3]

The WinRing0 driver is loaded automatically when program is started as admin, no manual installation is needed. Make sure all winring0 dll and sys files are present in the same dir where the program is located. The program has to be run from a directory located on a local drive. Also some anti-cheat software might be blocking the driver from being loaded, so try disabling/uninstalling if you have any of those running.

I did it again but same result, it doesn't load the driver

[1a2m3]

Run this as admin and show me the event log contents.

Ok, that explains. Either your account type isn't administrator, or the program isn't detecting it properly. Try this and show me the log output.

on H61 doesn't start, I just get a black window

Something is preventing from acquiring full administrative rights. The test2 build uses two different methods to checks for administrative privileges before loading the driver.

Make sure your account has full administrative rights. Open command prompt as administrator, enter command "whoami /priv" without quotes, and post the output.

Ok, your privileges are good.

Try this build and post results. It skips test for administrative rights and goes straight to SMBus initialization.

(You can right click on any event log line and select "copy all lines..." to paste here).

unfortunately same as before, just a black window

[1a2m3]

Try this, I've removed embedded manifest, run manually as admin.

If main window doesn't appear, post console window contents, otherwise post both event log and console contents.

[ankarle]

just console windows showing 4 messages, the last one is Initializing SMBbus

[1a2m3]

Added extra debugging info, try again.

OLS_DLL_DRIVER_NOT_LOADED

[1a2m3]

Post the full output, I need to see what happens before and after that line appears.

[ankarle]

first run

[ankarle]

second run, it doesn't do the same anymore

[1a2m3]

Try this and post the results. It's part of original original WinRing0 source code bundle, it's modified to load the driver and display the results only. Run the exe as admin.

WinRing0Test.zip

[ankarle]

no results, no any windows gets open, running on the powershell also no output

[1a2m3]

Issue identified, stay tuned for fixed test build.

[1a2m3]

Try this. Should be working this time.

Restart your system before running this, in case previous builds caused SMBus to lock and you are seeing console window only or "nothing found" in the connect window.

Previous versions didn't work on non-English Windows. This build was tested on English and non-English versions of Windows 10 x86 and x64 with HM55 and NM10 based systems.

Hey, seems to work now, congratulation! :) I tried the reading function, I currently cannot test the writing function

[1a2m3]

Great! I'll be closing this issue and will release an updated version shortly along with other fixes. If you discover another bug, open a new issue as this one is resolved.
