RivaTuner : Some system components cannot be hooked right now

[Desolate Eden]

Anybody know how to fix this? It's driving me insane. It was totally fine before I installed windows updates.

I have reinstalled msi afterburner and rivatuner twice already, no idea what else i can do

Maybe see if there is updated versions of those, also check the exe file properties and make sure they are not running in compatibility mode.

[Desolate Eden]

Hmm yeah I have the latest version I reinstalled it two times, dont think the exe files are running in compatibility mode no, thanks anyway

[emoticorpse]

you reboot yet? have you tried toggling administrator mode for both the afterburner .exe and rivatuner .exe?

[Desolate Eden]

Just ticked administrator mode for both and rebooted and its still happening

[emoticorpse]

you try disabling antivirus? did you uninstall both before you re-installed? if not try a complete uninstall, then delete the respective folders, then reboot, then re-install after that. One of those steps might make the difference. If that doesn't work Not sure really apart from trying another account or something else.

Ddu wipe everything gpu driver wise and reboot and reinstall latest gpu drivers and Vulkan Runtime. If needed update or reinstall very latest for MSI AB + RTSS. Set MSI AB Settings to use Kernel Mode. Set EXE for anything related to MSI AB or RTSS to Run As Admin for All Users within exe file properties

So apart from that message, any other issues?. Does the information still display on screen? Because I just did a small Windows update and looks like I get that same message now but the information is still being displayed so whatever. If you're in the same situation, then I guess just a small cosmetic error.

Edit: Except my ram says 4GB. damn. Not sure if that's normal because the game I'm testing with is Half life 2 Episode one.

I think I fixed it. It seems the latest version no longer works with the newest windows update and you have to use the beta version of a newer one. I guess that would be the newest version instead then. Thanks for all the help though

If a beta for msi AB or RTSS is needed to address issues, get it from guru3d.com as they always provide the most updates ones on there such as the beta vetsions, which are generally needed as a short term hot fix until a fixed official version comes out

[Desolate Eden]

I got it through the update button on the rivatuner program which directed me to the guru3d website yes, ill just have to remember to update it once it comes out of beta

[Bad 💀 Motha]

That's for official version. No user can stay on just the official version if you keep installing the very latest Windows Updates, the beta will be required to hold you over til a new official version comes out. Nothing new, I had to do that the entire time I was on Win7 as well.

Just go to guru3d.com and look up MSI AFTERBURNER and also RIVATUNER. On the download page, notice the different links. Official vs Beta.

This happened to me a week ago so I signed into The Guru of 3D and it turns out due to major changes w/KB4598291, it was necessary to get a beta version of RTSS out quickly. Please install beta version 7.3.0 Beta 10 from Guru3D, it works perfectly on Windows version 19042.789.

Big ups to the dev for taking it seriously.

Why are folks updating their Win10 quickly and blindly anyways? Disable this and allow it to stay disabled for a good month or so, allowing MS to hotfix broken or bugged updates and pull or re-issue proper updates once such fixes, if needed, have been addressed. MS issues Win10 updates too quickly without proper testing because they are relying on YOU to be a non-paid ginny-pig beta-tester for them. And with that note said, your PC and Data be damned as far as they are concerned. Force WU Off via ShutUp10 or Group Policy and then keep up to date with those update release notes by reviewing the Online Win10 Update History, along with Community Forums; before you do any Windows Updates to your machine. This time that you leave WU disabled, as new updates come out and you are staying on a slightly older, but stable OS, this allows proper time for Drivers and other Apps to issue updates should they be needed whenever MS goes and makes changes that basically would require others to make changes on their end.

Well, I take this as a comment to the general public but me? I run Insider builds in the beta channel. I also beta-test various software from time to time and sometimes identify potential issues before Windows goes to release. It's purely voluntary and I kind of know what I'm doing. Usually, anyway.

Microsoft enlists literally billions as "guinea pigs" just by having 'diagnostic data" enabled by default. Nothing new. By running Insiders, I must have telemetry fully enabled. OMG!!! Yikes!!!!!

In this context, it's sort of a payment for using a good software like RTSS for free. And if Windows messes up (and at rare times it does), an image or an ISO has rescued me.

Insider builds is just a very bad idea; its an even worse experience then the public branch; as you as the user will have to wait even longer for proper drivers and app updates.
