Unfortunately the problem still persists. Here is a screenshot for what it looks like in the taskbar. It does the same thing for all versions. I really do not want to resort to resetting my PC, but I might have to do it since my PC heats up badly when I cannot control the fan speeds.
While the MIO-Board is mostly virtualized these days, I think there is still a small primary micro-controller on the motherboard that helps run the LEDs.
Did something drastic happen to this computer? Have you check the connections inside ?
Anyway, looks like you might have a motherboard problem. However, I have seen a clean-Windows install fix similar problems. You could always drop in a spare drive and try it.
Yeah I finally resorted to resetting my PC and the version that came with the installation of Windows from factory definitely works as intended. So an operating system or software issue versus a hardware issue. I wish I knew what causes though or if there were another way to control the fans.

I downloaded the BIOS and the AWCC 4.8.23.0 from this link.
Thanks

I ran AW-CC v4.6.20.0 on my Aurora-R6 for a long time ... I suggest you try that one:

Thanks for your help either way!
