Hello,

I have a Framework Desktop with the AMD AI Max 300 series running Windows 11. To turn on the ARGB fan lights, the framework_tool.exe is required to be run. However, Windows Smart App Control is blocking the tool. Is there a way to selectively turn Smart App Control just for this exe application? Or if anyone has any other way to run the tool without completely turning off Smart App Control please let me know. Thank you!
