Windows 10 - Driver fails to load

Post by Ratty »

Coretemp 1.08RC - Windows 10 Pro - Intel Skylake i7-6700K. M.2 256GB Boot device.

Core Temp (latest version) worked seamlessly on the PC when it was running the W10 upgrade from W7 but now that I have done a clean install it will no longer load the driver.
Curiously 1.06RC loads and displays temperatures although not recognising the Skylake CPU!


"Driver has failed to load. This program will not continue"

Is this likely to be a driver signature issue that was ignored during the upgrade?

Thanks for a great piece of software.

So today it works fine!

Yesterday evening I installed OpenSuse Linux on one of my SSD's, to do so I had to switch Secure Boot to 'Other OS' and away it went. Being smart the install also picked up the W10 install on the M.2 drive and added a link in the start menu. This worked (as expected) until W10 installed updates....

Back on W10 with Secure Boot set to Windows Bootloader and Core Temp is working normally.

I surmise that when W10 was started from Linux the driver was allowed to register - thus continuing to load when 'normal' operation resumed!

So call it solved, even if in an odd way!

Maybe other users if faced with the same issue can replicate the secure boot change to verify if it indeed was this :)
