Winring0.G gets blocked now

[cloudzcodes]

I wanted to run CoreCycler yesterday and found out that the program uses the Winring driver, which gets blocked now from the Windows Defender.

When will the replacement for it drop?
steps to the solutions?

Yes, it seems that Microsoft has now finally decided to drop the hammer on the old WinRing0 driver.

CoreCycler uses the ZenStates-Core library from irusanov (which is also used in e.g. SMUDebugTool and ZenTimings) to read and set the Curve Optimizer values, so until this is updated, you will need to have to exclude the WinRing0 server to make it work.

I've opened an issue for that in the ZenStates-Core repository, but I'm sure irusanov is aware of that already.

With ZenStates-Cores having migrated to PawnIO now, I can do the same, so setting the Curve Optimizer values will be possible without WinRing0 with the next release.

The Intel counterpart IntelVoltagControl however still uses it, not sure if it's possible to migrate that as well. PawnIO didn't seem to contain any method to set the voltage for Intel yet.
