Win 8.1.1 - No Autorun at all

[dream3]

No matter what I do, it won't autoron. With windows 7 everything was fine. I even tried ataching the app to the registry startup. The autorun setting is enabled.

However, when I checked the startup folder, theres no icon there.

Any ideas?

on Windows 8.1 MFC uses Task sheduler to create autorun entry. Can you check it?

[dream3]

Yeah it's there.

Trigger: At log on
Details: At log on of any user
Status: Enabled.

Even though, no autorun. However, I did spotted a weird setting under the Condition tab.

It says "start the task only if pc is on AC power". And I cant change that, it's grayed out. Why wouldnt we want macfan to run on battery?

I dont think that condition exists over the OS X side. Considering the discrete GPU cant be turned off in bootcamp, meaning the mac will always be hotter on windows, I think there are no downsides in running macfans on battery at all.

Thanks for sharing this info!

Can you please try this .exe?

Please UNCHECK and CHECK "Autostart minimized with system" option.

Hey Steven!

Here's what I got when I tried to run the .exe:

Program cant start because Qt5core.dll is missing from computer. Try reinstalling...

Place this .exe to the program folder of MFC:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Macs Fan Control

[dream3]

Haha dumb mistake.

Anyway, you've nailed it Steven! All good now.
