I have the latest build (1803) of Windows 10, 64bit. The PredatorSense software from acer driver page for both machines result in a predator sense service being installed, but no launchable GUI (not even in compatibility mode or after troubleshooting compatibility.)

I managed to install one of the other model's predatorsense version for my PH317-52 (version "Predator Sense_Acer_2.01.3005_W10x64_A" ) and it works fine.

However, none of the available versions work for my girlfriend's PH315-51. SpeedFan was an alternative I tried, but it doesn't detect the motherboard and fans (nor does Argus Monitor).

Please Acer (if anyone's reading) if you could fix each predator sense version for it's own laptop to work, that would be appreciated. Till then, community: If you have any alternatives or a solution, please let us know :)

Thanks!
