Is my WinRing0 driver corrupt? Are others blocked by Defender?

[tallpeak]

I think Microsoft Defender has banned my use of RyzenAdj, by blocking WinRing0 (VulnerableDriver:WinNT/Winring0.G ; see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?name=VulnerableDriver%3AWinNT%2FWinring0.G&threatid=2147947097 ) I've switched to UXTU, and it seems to work reasonably well for my use-case, even if a bit clunkier than my old AHK script, but might like to switch back to using my script if I'm convinced WinRing0x64.dll is safe.

I used to use my RyzenAdj.AHK as a wrapper ( https://github.com/tallpeak/AHK/blob/main/GTA/AFKMoney/RyzenAdj.ahk ; the reason it's in a game folder is that I encountered severe throttling (to 399 mhz all-core, 2w to 4w, due to ProcHot Ext asserted per HWinfo64; HP laptop may have a faulty sensor and/or faulty VRM) when running that game, and RyzenAdj helped me to alleviate that problem by throttling to between 9 and 13 watts, where the problem tended not to occur.)

Anyway now I get this error when adjusting the wattage, and I think it's due to Defender blocking the driver:

But I'm using the same driver, and I doubt it's modified on my end. I've included an sha256, just in case.

Technically speaking WingRing0 is a backdoor into Windows kernel witch allows user space software write arbitrary IO or memory, that's why microsoft think it's unsafe.

#382 Proposed an alternative, I have not look into it closely.

AMD Modules got updated. Is that enough to migrate ? namazso/PawnIO.Modules@0.1.6...0.2.0
