Does Atlas actively block WinRing0?

[bigern2300-sys]

I have an application (EVGA DG Tuner) that uses WinRing0 for PC temperatures and cooling fan(s) monitoring and adjustments. However, when I attempt to download the application, the WinRingo.exe file is blocked and immediately closes without explanation. This causes the DG8 Tuner application not to load correctly. I also believe it is preventing from loading the needed HID devices as a pop up states they cannot be found.
The app I am trying to use is the EVGA DG Tuner version DG-8 2.0.1 BETA.

This is likely due to an AV that's blocking it specifically due to it trying to access WinRing0. Try to check windows defender or whichever AV you have

I use a Malwarebytes premium lifetime subscription. If it has blocked the application, it hasn't flagged or logged it. Also, when applying the application running Windows 10 and the Malwarebytes, I have no issues loading the EVGA app. It only seems to be an issue with the atlas OS Coincidentally, Malwarebytes flags the atlas OS with a couple of PUP detections which the Malwarebytes are set to ignore.

Malwarebytes flags AtlasOS because it changes registry values, they're false positives.
I'll test things out and talk with the other devs to figure out if this is a one time issue or if this is a bug with AtlasOS. I'm also pretty sure we don't block WinRing0.

Edit: I was just informed that vanguard uses winring0, and vanguard works perfectly well on AtlasOS.

That would be great!
Thank you!

Can you please look at this download file for the EVGA application and see if there may be an instance that doesn't agree with the AtlasOS?
