Fan Control Don`t launch at startup

[Chicora470]

After the last update the program does not start at launch, i need to start manually, even if i set the startup and in windows startup section

I'm having the same issue except I can't even run it manually. I run it, get the UAC prompt, then nothing after that. No FanControl.exe task in the task manager either.

Hello,

I have the same problem.

I also tried to run the Updater.exe file and I got this error.

The error can be translated to "Access to the access path 'C:\Program Files\FanControl\FanControl.Releases-120\de\Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler.resources.dll' is refused."

The error occurs when applying update for v174 so maybe something's up with it ? I got no clue.

I also found the crash dumps when i tried running the program.
I tried opening it with Notepad++ and nothing was readable.
FanControl.exe.15448.dmp

I just took a copy of my config, deleted the install, downloaded the latest version (v174) and then copied my config back across. Seems to be working okay now.

It worked for me too

Same here, but the first install wouldn't even start manually anymore. Reinstalled -> wont launch on startup again, however I can manually start it now.

This also worked for me. Remember any plugins you have installed too! Either copy them or install again before loading your config.

Did that too afterwards, worked like a charm.

It's the first time I've had an issue with this software (or just the update).
Pretty good ratio for the amount of time I've been using it. 👌🏻

FYI, you just need to rename Newtonsoft.Json.dll and run the updater to have it fixed.

Hello i did a fresh install of the .net 8 and im still having the issue, i deleted everything except "Configurations" folder and then extracted the .net8 version

Has the Same Problem, i fix it with Download the Netframework 4.8 Version and Copy over my Installation.
After this my Fancontrol runs fine again. Think the Problem came from the Netframework 8 Version, maybe some in the Updater who select the wrong Version over the Installed.

Fix:
Download - FanControl_net_4_8.zip

Unzip and Replace all Files with your Exist Installation.

( Updated FIle found in the Release Assets Section https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/releases )

Than you can Run the Programm fine again.

I'm having this issue on FanControl V194_net_4_8 and the October 2023 version.
I attempted the workaround of making it start at user login via Task Scheduler. Had to check the admin privileges box.
It doesn't work consistently for some reason as sometimes the task just doesn't run.
The issue got fixed when I downloaded FanControl_194_net_8
Windows 10, 64 bit, latest update.
