Hello guys,

I really enjoy nbfc since a pretty long time on my ASUS G501JW to avoid both fan being too loud and CPU throttling. I reinstalled Windows 10 two days ago, as I upgraded to a new SSD, reinstalled nbfc too, and suddenly, after my computer woke up from sleep, it won't launch anymore :(

As it was the last 1.5.3 beta, I uninstalled and tried the regular 1.5.0 but it didn't change anything. I don't know what to do next, as I tried to fix it with CCleaner and it was not even a bit more successful :(

Please install 1.5.3 again, try to start it and then attach the service's log file here (see https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc/wiki/Files-and-directories-overview for where to find it)

That's the client log.
The service log should be at C:\ProgramData\NbfcService\

From your logs it looks like is running problems, but since the client can't connect, there must be a problem. I guess the service's settings file is corrupt.

Please try the following steps:

  • open a powershell as Admin
  • stop the NbfcService via stop-service NbfcService
  • save C:\ProgramData\NbfcService\NbfcServiceSettings.xml somewhere, so you can upload it here later
  • delete C:\ProgramData\NbfcService\NbfcServiceSettings.xml
  • start the NbfcService via start-service NbfcService
  • start the client (NoteBookFanControl.exe) and select a config

If this solves your problem, please attach NbfcServiceSettings.xml here, so I can find out what went wrong.

Well, I think we have something there : I stopped the NbfcService and went to C:\ProgramData\NbfcService, but I only have "NbfcServiceLog.txt" and absolutely nothing else ! How is that possible ?

If you don't select a config, the service doesn't create a settings file.

I think I had this same issue; I have a G501VW however. If you are running MSI Afterburner, you need to update RivaTuner Statistics Server to 7.0.0, and then a conflict is fixed and NBFC can run.
