Is your Windows gaming PC suddenly complaining it's got a "HackTool" called "WinRing0" on board? Mine did, and I dug into it. Turns out it's underpinning *loads* of popular PC monitoring software, and Microsoft is holding all the cards.

Haha. I've finally used my personal close proximity to Microsoft to lobby for a community cause - a modern, signed, safe WinRing0.
We'll see how it goes.

Well, I guess now I understand why I couldn't find a good system temperature monitor and had to make my own.
Unfortunately mine has the same problem as all the others - WinRing0. So much for putting my first project on GitHub. 🫠

Windowsの「Microsoft Defender」が一部アプリの起動をブロックする可能性 「Winring0ドライバ」の脆弱性が原因（リスクを受容すれば回避策あり）
Windows 10／11にプリインストールされているセキュリティソフト「Windows Defender」が、「Winring0ドライバ」を利用するアプリを“検出”してアラートを発する事象が報告されている。これは誤検出ではなく、≪特定バージョンのWinring0ドライバにおいて脆弱（ぜいじゃく）性が報告された≫ことに伴うものだ。
