* On Windows, OpenRGB uses the [WinRing0](https://github.com/GermanAizek/WinRing0) driver to access the SMBus interface.
* **You must run the application as Administrator the first time to allow WinRing0 to set up. It can be run as a normal user afterwards**
* Early versions of OpenRGB used [InpOut32](https://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/inpout32/). This is no longer needed and should be removed to avoid warnings by some anti-cheat software. You can uninstall Inpout32 by following the instructions [here](https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/issues/669#note_461054255).
* On Windows, OpenRGB uses the [PawnIO](https://pawnio.eu/) driver to access the SMBus interface. You must install PawnIO by downloading and running its installer prior to using OpenRGB.
* **You must run the application as Administrator in order for PawnIO to be able to access SMBus. OpenRGB may be installed as a background service that runs with Administrator permissions.**
* Early versions of OpenRGB used [WinRing0](https://github.com/GermanAizek/WinRing0) and even earlier versions used [InpOut32](https://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/inpout32/). These drivers are no longer used and should be removed to avoid warnings by anti-cheat and anti-virus software. You can uninstall Inpout32 by following the instructions [here](https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/issues/669#note_461054255).
