Windows 11 24h2 freezing after installing V240

[ishikyoo]

The Windows 11 24H2 completely freezes when I try to open FanControl V240.
I've tried to install the PawnIO manually, with no results. It still locks up the whole system.

Same here with Windows 10 PRO 22H2. The whole system freezes after the first restart after the update. After rebooting and checking at what point it crashed, I found out it was on FC start up. Booted on Safe mode, removed both FC and PIO and the system works just fine.

I have an old version stored in my disk, so Ill go with that one until you get it sorted.

No.

Wait the program itself or the whole system? Whole system that would be a new one.

The whole computer crashes, no BSOD or anything, it just freezes.

The whole computer hangs. In my case, it didnt crash until after the computer suspended. It installed the update and worked just fine. I left the pc, it suspended and when I woke it up it crashed, after that, it crashed everytime at start up. Complete hang of the whole system. PawnIO installed correctly in my case.

I checked the windows event viewer for clues and found an abnormal amount of DCOM 1084 on several services I never heard of before.
