PC gamers recently encountered an unexpected issue when their computers triggered Windows Defender alerts due to a kernel-level driver called WinRing0. This software, used by various hardware monitoring applications, was flagged as a potential threat, causing some systems to behave erratically.
For instance, fan control applications were affected, leading to fans running at high speeds after the tool was quarantined. However, this was not an actual attack but rather a false alarm caused by Windows Defender detecting WinRing0 in apps like Fan Control, Razer Synapse, SteelSeries Engine, and others.
