MSI afterburner isn't picking up anything. No overclocks were applied to the GPU. After installing openhardwaremonitor for precise CPU monitoring, it stopped showing GPU and CPU stats. It only reports RAM usage. I accessed the control panel, removed openhardwaremonitor and almost all other software, then reinstalled the latest MSI AB version. Still nothing works to detect my hardware properly. I tried EVGA's precision XOC, which does recognize my GPU, but I can't adjust the fan curve there. My goal is for Afterburner to function so I can use the fan curve settings.

System Specs:
Ryzen 5 2600
MSI RTX 2070
32gb Gskill 3200 mhz ram
2 TB HDD
256 GB SSD

It's possible you enjoy playing Valorant. If so, consider removing the 'Riot Vanguard' to access Afterburner, as the Anti-Cheat system has caused issues recently. Fixing it worked for me.

Report on issues encountered. Graphics drivers were removed via DDU and reinstalled after applying the newest MSI AB update, but the problem persisted. Uncertain what further steps might be needed.

It might seem odd, but do you enjoy playing Valorant? If so, consider removing the 'Riot Vanguard' to access Afterburner, as the Anti-Cheat system has been causing issues recently. Fixing it by uninstalling resolved the problem.

Lol I do. I can live without afterburner until they update their already crappy anti cheat system. I'll uninstall just to see if it works tho lol. There are some more demanding games I play and i'd rather my GPU not hit 70-80C if I can. When you uninstalled the anti cheat did you need to restart though? Thank you!

Wow, I accomplished a lot, but it was Riots' actions that caused this. It works. Thank you!
