Aurora R12, OC Controls incompatible with WSL?

Question

For a long time now, I have been having issues with OCC Controls on my Aurora R12 (first CPU adjustment sliders could not be moved and more recently the entire CPU and memory components disappear form the Fusion tab in AWCC). After having my Aurora R12 motherboard replaced and reinstalling Windows 11 100 times or so, I guess I finally figured out why I am having those issues: WSL. It looks like WSL and OCC Controls are incompatible in some way. When I enable WSL and reboot, I immediately start seeing the issue mentioned above. Uninstalling WSL does not sort things up but reverting to a restore point immediately before installing it restores the OCC Controls functionality. Anyone around also using WSL that can confirm this?

Windows Subsystem for Linux. FWIIW, this is an optional component of Windows 10/11 installs.

What is WSL?

Are you saying in our original factory operating system build, that WSL was enabled?

BrunoGA · Answer

Nope. I am saying that when one installs it, OC Controls break.
