Troubleshooting Windows

Troubleshooting — Windows

Bridge offline

Check that the HWControlBridge service is installed and running.

Default endpoint:

127.0.0.1:8080

Missing telemetry

Check the installed GPU driver and sensor provider. Windows telemetry can use LibreHardwareMonitor WMI or a WMI fallback, so available fields can vary.

Control command fails

The current bridge deliberately returns an error when the hardware-control backend is not available in the build. This is different from a UI error and is expected on builds without a control backend.

Installation problems

Use the MSI install log generated by the CI smoke test pattern and verify that the downloaded release checksum matches the published SHA-256 file.
