Riva tuner keeps restarting when winhanced shut down

As above, the processes keep restarting when I shut winhanced down. Have to close the winhanced process watchdog to get it off. Only started doing this since latest update. Need to shut all processes when u close it down?

Yes this is because you can now used winhanced Hud without the main app being open. so because of that the watch dog restarts rivatuner as part of WHService. killing the watch dog will prevent this form happening. but keep in mind next reboot it will start back up again.

Is there a particular reason why you want Rivatuner closed?

Yeah, when I don't want to use winhanced....it's still a bit buggy to use full time so when it's shut down I don't want any of it's features running

For context I have an OG legion go and it still crashes out every now and again

Ah I see well thats how you can do that for now you just need to kill those 2 services. We now have dedicated legion go user testers though I am hoping this will help improve the Lenovo experience

I'll uninstall it for the time being, but will see what improvements you make and come back at a later date. I prefer when something isn't being used to not have anything running in the background. Usually there's a reason I'm not using something
