Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What “TOP” typically means in this context

In unofficial releases, “TOP” usually indicates:

1. Windows Defender Alerts: Because ChipGenius accesses low-level driver ports (Ring 0), some antivirus software flags it as "HackTool." This is a false positive. Add an exclusion to your folder.
2. No 64-bit driver signing: On Windows 10/11 with Secure Boot enabled, you may need to temporarily disable driver signature enforcement to run the USB 3.0 detection.
3. Useless for SD Cards: This tool works for USB flash drives and USB-connected hard drives. It does not work for SD cards inserted into a laptop's internal reader (use USB Image Tool for that).
