Hey @Aaron44126 -- thanks for getting back to me and the extra info.
No worries, I can certainly appreciate both (a) having competing demand on your time, and (b) that it is unrealistic / unreasonable to ask you to support a tool that you cant even easily test yourself nowadays before it is only applies to laptop 3 years old or more! ππΌ
I would offer to help if I could (I do various bits of development in several languages), but don't have any experience with hardware monitoring / control (sorry)... Also, following what I said above, "as is" basis is fine and understandable (thanks for clarifying) -- I just hope to god Microsoft don't change something and DellFanManagement stops working, as if I have to go back to using that 1GB+, piece-of-sh*t bloatware "Alien Command Center" just to manage my fans, I will be really unhappy! ππ
Ah OK, I don't think I know DellFanCmd but in the interim I have been using DellSetThermalSetting in a similar way, if that is more or les the same tool?... It is quite handy being able just to double-click something and change the fan mode to Optimized, or UltraPerformance ππΌ
Not sure if DellFanCmd can do extra things on top of this that are worth me knowing about(?), but happy to experiment and try it out -- where's the best place to get it from plz?
PS -- Have been trying to figure out a way to bypass the UAC prompt when I do say DellSetThermalSetting.exe Optimized but no joy so far... Realise you don't have much time for this project anymore but just as you're familiar with this area, if you have any ideas you can share that would be great! (I was counting on the task scheduler 'hack' to do this but it didn't work).
Fair enough, it was just a suggestion that came from me realising I had no idea if I was on the latest version or not -- but again, as you've said there's basically no updates planned at this time, then that's fine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again, thanks for developing the tool and continuing to engage with the community!
Hope everything goes well with your other projects!
Martin
[PS -- Just saw that you got back to me on the same day I posted! Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly!... Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I didn't get a notification / realised you had replied at the time and was just logging in today to check if there had been any updates -- will go and check my notebooktalk.net user/notification settings!]
