PawnIO driver as an alternative to WinRing0
Author: birdie-githubCreated Jul 11, 2026Updated Jul 11, 2026
WinRing0.sys has recently become really cumbersome if not impossible to use for those who want to run with Secure Boot enabled, so it would be great if the developers behind this project considered switching to PawnIO instead: https://pawnio.eu/
Sadly I've no idea if this project provides the APIs that are necessary for XMRig to function.
