I apologize for necroposting, but this is the first result on google when searching for this error.

Disabling driver vulnerability protection is something that some users do not want to do.
I found another way to make it work.

FIX: Uninstall your current version of Timing Configurator. Go to a recent and expensive ASRock motherboard page (not all of them will have the link for TC, so try more than one), then download from there the latest version of Timing Configurator, and it will work, with the updated driver.

For example, i solved with 4.1.0 version:

Hi. I know this is an old post, but I JUST ran into this issue myself. The EXACT same issue.

The problem is Microsoft is blocking the driver from being loaded because Microsoft is deeming the Asrock driver required for the asrock timing configurator to be "vulnerable". The driver block list is updated periodically, probably with each cumulative update from windows update. So newer versions of AsrTC can eventually also be added to the block list.

I also found the solution.

You need to start menu -> run -> regedit -> go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Config -> go to "VulnerableDriverBlocklistEnable" key and change the value from 1 to 0. Reboot. Now Asrock timing configurator will work!

Hello ASRock TSD,

Thanks for your reply. Yes several people I have spoken to are also able to run the timing configurator on Windows 11 without any issues. When I installed the timing configurator Core Isolation/Memory Integrity which blocked the driver from running. I wonder if this is the issue on my machine.

I have tried reinstalling the program several times (with Core Isolation this time disabled) but continue to get the error "Driver cannot be loaded, reinstall the program may fix the issue". I also get the error in Event Viewer: "The AsrDrv102 service failed to start due to the following error: A certificate was explicitly revoked by it's issuer"

Any help from the software team to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. ]]> Wed, 15 Sep 2021 16:12:56 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19554&PID=90232&title=timing-configurator-expired-certificate#90232 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19554&PID=90217&title=timing-configurator-expired-certificate#90217 Author: ASRock_TSD

I think the person or company that made the driver needs to fix it. I don;'t think there is anything an end user can do to fix it..


Try to google the issue maybe there is a workaround..]]> Mon, 13 Sep 2021 22:34:16 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19554&PID=90205&title=timing-configurator-expired-certificate#90205 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19554&PID=90198&title=timing-configurator-expired-certificate#90198 Author: Airlock

I have an issue with Timing Configurator 4.0.9 on my Windows 11 Pro machine. I get an error "Driver cannot be loaded, re-install the program may fix the issue" when trying to run it.

I found in Event Viewer that the following:

The AsrDrv102 service failed to start due to the following error:
A certificate was explicitly revoked by its issuer.

I checked the digital signature properties of the AsrDrv102 driver located at C:\Windows\sysWOW64\Drivers and it says "This certificate is expired or not yet valid."

How can I correct this issue?
