Timing Configurator - expired certificate.

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?

Not sure what is wrong with my images so here are the links:

Hi Airlock,

Thank you for your post.

Today we tested the utility and it can launch successfully under Windows 11.

For the problem you met, we already reported it to our software team and will keep your guys posted if any updates.

At this moment, we suggest reinstalling the program to verify. (Please uninstall it from the control panel first)

All the best

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!
