3 weeks ago Just wanted to comment to say that I just encountered this exact bug today and came here to see if it had already been reported! If needed, I can also upload my log as well as the config jsons.

Describe the bug I randomly encounter an issue with FanControl, say about once in two weeks, when I open the application and find out that all the fans are not configured/not calibrated.
When trying to load the saved json configuration, I either get errors about missing sensors or no error at all, but still all calibration is missing. If I save the configuration in this state, the original calibration json data with the old sensors is lost, so I always make a backup. The message that i get is something like Missing speed sensors: /lpc/it8689e/fan/2 etc.
Although sometimes this issue can be fixed after multiple restarts of the application and the configuration can be loaded properly, most of the time I have to manually redo my configuration because of the json being overwritten automatically.
Is there a log.txt file next to FanControl.exe with recent date entries? Here is the log file from the last couple of days: log.txt Here are the last two configuration jsons: The first one is the last known good one which now when loading it says it has missing sensors (but the sensors are present in the file), the second one is the same, but it has been overwritten by an older version of FanControl and now has missing the sensors in the file itself. userConfig1.json userConfig2.json
Relevant hardware specs and setup My PC has a Gigabyte Z790 motherboard and I use FanControl to control only 3 case fans attached direcly to the motherboard, all other fans are ignored (controlled by Corsair iCUE or nVidia hardware itself).
