Subject: AXTU Not working in Windows 10
Date Posted: 03 Aug 2015 at 1:40am
I upgraded to Win10, now on computer startup, I get the following pop-up -
Error 0xFFFE
This Utility is not for this platform!

This worked fine on Win8.1 for me.  Will there be a Win10 version of AXTU?  I notice by browsing the forums, this is happening on both Intel and AMD motherboards...

Meanwhile, anyone have suggestions how to control the fan speeds?  They seem to be cranked on high all the time now (kind of noisy).  Will SpeedFan work?

No idea what board you have so look in the BIOS for any possible fan options to choose from

As wardog suggested, the BIOS has the identical fan speed control options for your board that you find in AXTU.

What version of AXTU are you using? What board do you have?

AXTU is designed with a shared main program for multiple mother boards, with configuration files for each board that it supports that match the capabilities and options of each board.

Newer versions of AXTU may add support for new boards or fixes for existing boards, but most boards won't have any changes to their configuration files.

I've been able to use the ASRock A-Tuning version 2.0.257 supplied for my board, compatible with Win 8.1, with Win 10. If your board uses AXTU, you must use that as the other ASRock utilities won't support your board.

AXTU was supplied with boards up to ~2013, with different utilities like A-Tuning after that.

It sounds like AXTU needs some maintenance to work with Win 10.

Ok I may be able to actually help with this. I am getting the same error, Z68, 2500k.

So I installed Win10 (coming from Win8, did the 'keep nothing' option) and then updated it, while I was waiting for the updates to download the fan noise was starting to annoy me, so I installed AXTU to quieten them down. It worked.

A few hours later the updates finished and did their installing overnight.

The next day I boot up to those errors, so I'm thinking it had to be something the updates installed.

Uninstalled AXTU

I went to the asrock site a while ago and had downloaded my motherboard drivers and so I then installed this driver (file name, can't remember download name got it ages ago): 
INF_Win7-64_Win7_Vista64_Vista_XP64_XP(9.2.0.1021) 
sub-folder: INF(9.2.0.1021)

The INF Driver here I think is the one I used:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z68%20Extreme3%20Gen3/?cat=Download&os=Win764


You should be able to find it on the driver download page for your motherboard on the asrock site.

Once the INF Driver was installed and I'd rebooted I then reinstalled AXTU and it's working fine now.

Hope this helps.

Try installing the INF drivers from the Asrock website. That is what fixed it for me.

And it is broken again, only worked for a few days.

For me it apparently only works after an actual reboot so even after turning the PC off and turning it back on, I still have to reboot to get it to work.

Can anyone else confirm this works? If so I can make a sticky about the solution, it seems to be a common problem with windows 10 and certain boards.

If you do an upgrade installation of Windows 10, and then do not install at least the INF/chipset files for your board, then you have not completed the Windows 10 installation.

I have the same problem.  Z75 Pro, Windows 10 Pro - this worked for a few days, enabled at boot time - then just stopped with the same message? This was very useful to set fan speeds (noise) and check the temps. I did install all the drivers.
Is there a reason/solution?

Sorry - i meant this solution:
Please re-install AXTU once again on http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?toolid=10029&campid=CAMPAIGNID&customid=CUSTOMID&catId=58058&type=2&ext=252086647967&item=252086647967" rel="nofollow - windows 10 x64 .

    By default AXTU installer put files in: c:\Program Files (x86)\ASRock Utility\AXTU\

 

   Now please make new install path and put AXTU in windows 10 x64 program files folder:

   c:\Program Files\ASRock Utility\AXTU\

it works once or twice after reboot and then stops working.

hmm...looks like there is no solution at all.

No. it's extremely frustrating. I'm currently having to uninstall it, clean the registry of references to it, reboot, then reinstall. Just to keep the program working for a day or two. Can't someone at ASRock look into this?

I'm also having the same problem with the asrock tuning utility. It doesn't work on startup, but when i restart my pc the program is working normally. Reinstalling the software didn't work for me. I'm running a Windows 10 64 bit PC.

I'm using the tuning utility because controlling the fan speed via bios/uefi doesn't work for me either. Has anyone a solution for that, (too)? 
I have a Z77 Extreme4-M mainboard with the latest firmware (vers. 1.80) and a corsair carbide 200r series case which came with two fans already installed. If you need any detailed information on my system, please feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance for your help. Hope Asrock is fixing the problem.

Simple solution :
run regedit
find ( CNTR -f) AXTU
remove it
restart
AXTU run - works
if it stop again - repeat
For me, it do not need to do it often

Have the same issue. 

 I found out if you right click on utility tool and choose exit before shutting down your computer , axtu will work after reboot. 
if you listen carefully when shutting down while not exiting axtu first you will probably hear a ping (windows error notification) a second before pc powers down

The solution works for me..

I got the Installer from the AsRock site
The latest I could find was version 0.1.434
I found it under the Windows 8 64 bit section of my motherboard(a75m-dgs) download page

Change the install folder to
C:\Program Files...
instead of
C:\Program Files(x86)

Run the AXTU executable

Make sure to tick the option 'Auto run when windows starts'

Thanks to support team, I hope you can update the look to match windows 10

Hi, I have the same problem with H67DE3, INF driver ver:10.1.1.8, and ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) ver:0.1.434.

Yesterday, I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Everything looked fine but after a reboot, AXTU didn't work saying "This utility is not for this platform!" with title "Error 0xFFFE". I installed the stated INF and reinstalled AXTU (to "C:\Program Files" instead of "C:\Program Files (x86)") but this didn't solve the issue.

The dreaded AXTU Error: 0xFFFE This utility is not for this platform can simply be fixed by setting the power plan back to normal and rebooting.

Since i've set
Control Panel - Preferred Plan - back to "High performance" and rebooted the error is gone.
