Settings are in the registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Dell Fan Management

Many thanks Aaron, even though it didn't fix the problem but good to know where it's located when needed.

Have a question, where are the settings actually stored as recently, it seems like my EC Fan control off button is no longer showing the full circle, I have tried replacing all the files and it is reading the settings from somewhere.  Thanks!

First of all Aaron, thanks for releasing the software since it does help greatly with the Dell XPS 15 9570.  I don't remember when I discovered Dell Fan Management but I recall even the first build I downloaded was from December 11, 2022 didn't have a build number either so everytime you posted a link, I just name the folder based on the date of the post itself.  I realize there is no further development as I know you mentioned atleast a few months ago and more recently, you already moved to a different system and not even running Windows anymore either and you also mentioned that Dell locked down things.

Err, I am the software author so I generated that build.  It is an internal work-in-progress build.  The 3.0 version never had a final release.

I think you misunderstood my comment as obviously, I know you are the software author and released the build.  My question to the person I quoted originally where was the v3.0 even mentioned because the person I am quoting asked specifically for release v3.0 and in all the internal work-in-progress builds, it never shows the build number as it will says "Dell Fan Management, version DEV" as seen below, I always label the folder based on the date you posted it so I will always have whatever you release as the latest even though it might be more helpful if it did list something after version like the date or something to distinguish the different published builds provided.

Hi @Aaron44126,

Could you please reupload release 3.0?

Thanks beforehand.

Where did you even get the version for the release from as it just says dev version but no version number is shown anywhere.

I just add an additional question: Do you know what could be the reason why the screen brightness controls on the keyboard of my XPS 9560 do not work when your fan control tool is running?

Thanks for mentioning this and on my XPS 9570, it works correctly if you are talking about using Fn + the F11 and F12 keys.

I'll fix the link.

"Restart BG thread" button lights up only if the background thread crashes.

I managed to get the "Restart BG thread" to light up which happened when I installed the nVidia drivers.  However, it seems the program has hanged solid and not responding so had to restart the process using System Informer, formerly known as Process Hacker.

The link in the first post for:
NET 6.0 runtime (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/6.0/runtime, desktop x64) actually links to 5.0 and not 6.0

What is the "Restart BG thread" button actually used for as there doesn't seem to be a way to enable it as it's greyed out.
Thanks!

I am running Dell Fan Management - the version in your December 11, 2022 comment at the link 

on a Dell XPS 15 9570 using Windows 11 x64 Professional Edition 22H2 and there seems to be a major resource leak as it is using over 224,000 handles after 3 days, I manually run it as soon as I login to Windows immediately after the system starts as seen in the screenshot below from System Informer (formerly known as Process Hacker):

Also, a suggestion might be to actually include a version number or date in the about section.  Other than that, many thanks for providing the program.
