GhostDeck v1.24.1

[1.24.1] - 2026-07-29

Added

• Fan Boost can switch itself off (#51, thanks @cesarcamps) -
  Settings → Power → "Turn Fan Boost off automatically after": 30 s, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 or 15
  minutes, or any custom value up to two hours (off by default). The countdown starts whenever
  Fan Boost goes on - tray, hotkey, the Scenarios tile or the command line - and when it
  elapses the fans go straight back to whatever the active profile or curve was doing, with an
  on-screen note and a change-log entry. Turning Boost off by hand cancels the timer.
• Temperature readings on laptops without MSI's EC interface (#48,
  thanks @SavAlexander) - a few MSI models ship firmware that does not implement the EC
  control interface at all (proven on a Delta 15 A5EFK: the owner extracted the BIOS and the
  interface GUID is absent from the firmware tables). GhostDeck used to be completely dead on
  such machines. It now falls back to MSI's own WMI sensor blocks and shows live CPU/GPU
  temperature on the Status tab and in the overlay, with a plain explanation that profiles,
  fan curves and the charge limit are unavailable on that firmware. Read-only, no driver.
• Custom fan curves survive a reboot (#49, thanks @inokra) - the
  EC resets to its factory fan mode on every cold boot, so a custom curve always needed
  re-enabling by hand. A new opt-in switch (Settings → Power → "Restore fan curve after wake /
  at startup") makes GhostDeck remember the curve that was active - a preset or a manual one
  from the editor - and re-apply it a few seconds after startup and resume, with a change-log
  entry each time. Profile restore also re-asserts its state now even when the EC happens to
  boot into the same profile.
• Status sub-tabs got icons - Charts / History / Gaming / EC bytes / Change log now carry
  the same icon style as the Settings sub-tabs.
• One-click diagnostic package (Settings → System → Diagnostics) - a single zip with a
  read-only EC dump (or the exact error it produced), settings, the change history and
  errors.log; everything a bug report keeps asking for, attached in one file. No personal data
  lives in any of these files.
• Battery health panel (Settings → Power) - design capacity vs full-charge capacity,
  wear % and charge cycles, read straight from Windows' battery WMI classes; the natural
  neighbour of the charge limit.
• Estimated battery time - while discharging, the tray tooltip shows Windows' own
  "~2 h 40 min left" estimate, a new box on Status → Charts shows it too, and a new optional
  overlay metric puts it in the HUD during gaming.
• Storage panel with per-disk S.M.A.R.T. temperature - Status → Charts lists every
  physical disk with its name, used/total space (with a usage bar) and live S.M.A.R.T. temperature (no kernel driver; the hottest
  disk also available as an optional overlay metric); NVMe drives can throttle during long
  sessions.
• Every Settings card now has an icon and the Backup card moved to the left column of
  System.
• Raider A18 HX A7VIG (182KIMS1) promoted to Tested (#50, thanks
  @afk789) - per-scenario capture matches the shipped map, all three hardware checks passed,
  and fan-RPM readout is enabled. That's 15 tested models.
• GP66 Leopard 11UG / GE66 Raider (1543EMS1): fan curve verified and RPM enabled
  (#52, #53, thanks @krystian-pytlik) - the owner's test
  curve was found byte-for-byte at 0x72 / 0x8A, so the editor's "unverified" tag is gone.
• Raider GE76 12UE (17K4EMS1) promoted to Tested, fan curve verified
  (#45, #47, thanks @moragab1993) - the per-scenario
  capture matches the shipped register map, the owner's test curve was found byte-for-byte at
  0x72 / 0x8A, and fan-RPM readout is enabled (0xC9 / 0xCB).

Fixed

• Super Battery on the A18 HX boards no longer writes a register MSI Center leaves alone
  (#50, #54) - two independent captures (Raider A18 HX
  A7VIG and Vector A18 HX A9WHG) show 0xEB staying at 00 in Super Battery on those AMD
  boards, so GhostDeck now mirrors MSI Center exactly and skips that write.
• Buttons react to the mouse again - outline-style buttons (Details in the release list,
  Try again, backup buttons and others) had no visible hover state on the dark theme; they now
  highlight under the cursor.
• A clearer message when the EC cannot be read (#48) - the capture
  wizard used to end with a bare "Details: Unsupported". It now says what actually happened
  (the firmware refused the request) and points to reporting the model, with separate wording
  for access-denied and for machines without MSI's WMI interface at all.
