Coretemp will NOT run with Bitdefender on Windows 11

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I recently installed Windows 11, and had Bitdefender running with Windows 10 and Coretemp. When I went to Windows 11, and I tried to launch Coretemp, I got the error "Potentially unwanted apps detected", and the coretemp error "Driver has failed to load". I went on chat, and they couldn't solve my issue. I uninstalled Bitdefender and reinstalled Webroot, and Coretemp came up fine. What the heck is going on?

Hello,

Have you tried to add an exception for 'Coretemp' in Bitdefender? Check the following articles for instructions:

If adding exceptions doesn't make a difference, you can make an inquiry and submit a sample to the Bitdefender Labs using the form available at the link below:

I'm afraid that this hasn't worked. I added "Core Temp.exe" to the exception list, and the same inability to load the driver results. This problem appears, then goes away, then appears again. I would estimate it has happened three if not four times over the past year, but only ever on my Windows 10 machine, not on the Windows 11 PC.

@mwMC I have tried nearly everything, and the driver still won't load. Bitdefender still has not come up with a solution. I uninstalled Bitdefender and reinstalled Webroot, and Coretemp works fine. I really depend on Coretemp and the Coretemp gadget.

Bye bye Bitdefender.
