Start with the prerequisite, blocked-file and application-error checks before changing CPU or firmware settings.

How to check this on your PC

  1. Restart Windows and record the exact error message
  2. Verify x64 Windows, installed .NET prerequisites and a trusted installer source
  3. Check Windows Event Viewer and the app version for a useful crash detail

How to confirm the result

The app should open and show its dashboard without a new exception.

When comparing results, use the same power scheme, similar ambient temperature and a fixed workload. Save your starting values before experimenting so you can return to them.
