Additional context

the laptop is on latest updates for UEFI/EC [Note I modified the bios before but then I restored it by redownloading bios and EC from official MSI site and flashing them from bios update settings in the UEFI settings]

I took the EC dump using YAMDCC on Windows 11

I looked into MSI Dragon Gaming center and the Laptop Doesn't seem to support exclusive features like user scenario and battery charge limit

AmerXz avatar Sep 04 '25 05:09 AmerXz

please make normal dump with no holes

glpnk avatar Sep 04 '25 08:09 glpnk

we need more info, because dump doesn't have regular for WMI1 settings like Shift, Fan, Keyboard, etc.

do you have screenshots of control app?

glpnk avatar Sep 04 '25 08:09 glpnk

For some reason shift-mode settings inside msi Dragon Gaming center has appeared (Maybe because I added 0 to VulnerableDriverBlocklistEnable in registry editor)

Anyway here I made another Dump with inside RW "with sport mode enabled"

I have screenshots for MSI Dragon Gaming Center With Each Mode Enabled

I tried to use MControlCenter in Arch linux Kernel 6.16

I installed msi-ec and did cat /sys/devices/platform/msi-ec/shift_mode

and this error happend cat: /sys/devices/platform/msi-ec/shift_mode: No such file or directory

I launched Mcontrolcenter after installing and it had this error

The msi-ec module is not loaded/installed. Check the <About> page for more info.

These are the settings available in Mcontrolcenter I that's useful

Note: I Don't use the battery at all (I only rely on the charger cable)

Note2 : I can also enable advanced fan control in Mcontrolcenter

Ok I've suddenly noticed something

the laptop has light that indicates battery state which is under the tounchpad alongide other lights

Anyway

the battery light is now turning on with red color (Again I Don't rely on the battery when using the laptop , I use the laptop directly connected to the wall)

That happend on Arch linux , (I haven't check if it happens on windows)

This seemed to happen after I installed msi-ec and Mcontrolcenter then rebooting

AmerXz avatar Sep 04 '25 12:09 AmerXz

Your device can't be supported for now, because it have legacy version format.

I don't see fan curve settings in app, but see them in EC. Does app supports any fan settings?

glpnk avatar Sep 04 '25 12:09 glpnk

I don't have any curve settings in MSI Dragon Gaming center

I don't know why
