Latest bootcamp update causes SMC initialise error

[caimaxtingle]

After updating bootcamp to 6.1 I now get "Error initializing SMC interaction layer" when starting the application, the logs contain

I have tried soft resetting the SMC (Power button for 10 seconds when turned off) and hard resetting the SMC (Ctrl+Option+Shift+Power)

Please try to reinstall the app.

That has fixed the problem, thanks. Strangely enough I had just updated to the latest version after I started getting the error on an older one

Will try to reproduce and fix this inconvenicence.

Similar issue even after uninstalling and reinstalling latest version.

I'm having the same issue. The log is slightly different than what caimaxtingle and FocusGlobalSupply got: [2022-03-27 23:06:15:521] [thread 9228] [app.cpp#305] Macs Fan Control 1.5.11 [2022-03-27 23:06:15:521] [thread 9228] [app.cpp#306] Windows 10 x64 [2022-03-27 23:06:15:521] [thread 9228] [app.cpp#307] MacBookPro16,4 [2022-03-27 23:06:15:521] [thread 9228] [app.cpp#308] Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9980HK CPU @ 2.40GHz [8 cores] [2022-03-27 23:06:15:521] [thread 9228] [app.cpp#309] Qt 5.15.7 [2022-03-27 23:06:15:521] [thread 9228] [Platform_win.cpp#99] AppleSMC service is not enabled

Like caimaxtingle, I also just updated to the new bootcamp. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Macs Fan Control, and hard reset the SMC to no effect.

Please try the following:

• Open services.msc
• Find AppleSMC service and enable it

[FocusGlobalSupply]

AppleSMC service does not appear in services.msc

[kleuter]

Please try 1.5.14 beta https://crystalidea.com/downloads/macsfancontrol_setup_beta.exe

[FocusGlobalSupply]

1.5.14 beta is working Thanks!

[kleuter]

Great!

The issue was caused by disabled SMC service (who did this?), so the app enables it again.
