The app won't start

[iKirby]

Hi,

I would like to try this app so I downloaded it from GitHub release, but it didn't work.

When I started the app, it adjusted fan curve to 'Fanless' (guessing from the noise). Then I pressed function keys but they did nothing. From Windows Task Manager I couldn't find its process, and there is no log file created.

I have disabled all ASUS services. The registry key created by ROGManager, HKLM\SOFTWARE\ROGManeger (this is a typo I think?), is empty.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, please download the debug build of the binary here.

Once you have it downloaded, open a Powershell/Windows Terminal with Administrator privilege then run the binary, and attach the full logs here.

(and yes indeed that was a typo 😂)

It's because that my fresh installed Windows 10 has only one power plan "Balanced". After creating the other two power plans, the app works well.

Changing power plans can be annoying as they have independent brightness values, and I would have to adjust brightness manually every time when I change power plan (because environment lighting changes). So personally I keep using Balanced plan. I think it would be great to have an option to toggle whether to change Windows power plan when changing fan curve.

I will keep that in mind when I implement customizable config. Thank you

Thanks for the follow-up. I will close this issue as my problem has been solved.

Perhaps you should add this info to readme, because in fresh Windows 10 installation the one and only power plan available is "Balanced". Users need to create other plans manually.

By the way, in Windows 10 we have this "Power mode" slider. I think this is why Microsoft removed the other two plans.
