I am using windows 11, and installed FAH, FAH is worked on my pc a few days ago, but it's not working now.

It's stopped when reads GPUs.txt. https://prnt.sc/zUPY4kM2sILq

How to run FAHClient.exe again?

Did you try deleting the gpus.txt file? I read somewhere online that it is auto-recreated, and that in the current client, any modication to it causes the FAH client to stop working.

That's a bit unfortunate as I have a few GPUs I've seen that are supported, and on gpus.txt - however other GPUs with different windows HWID (hardware IDs in device manager) that have same RAM and same GPU chipset and feature support, aren't on the HWID list, and can't be added manually. I noted this specifically with an ancient card, a Nvidia Geforce 405 OEM range, where there was one 405 on the supported GPUs.txt list, but the card I have isn't on the list, so isn't recognized by the FAH client, even though it's identical to the supported one. I thought of reprogramming the firmware using an external clamp to make the card HWID change to what is supported, but that's really way more effort and time than I have to apply.
