In the 6.2.7 release of Precision XOC there were some major changes to the hardware monitor. I have encountered a few problems:
 
- I use system tray icons for gpu temperature and cpu temperature. These no longer persist after restarting windows and must be manually enabled through precision xoc after every reboot.
 
- The osd also no longer stays enabled after a reboot and resets to its default set of measurements/information, e.g. cpu temp is not shown in the osd in game by default and must be re-checked in the hardware monitor window prior to launching a game after every reboot of my system.
 
- Lastly, the hardware monitor window is buggy for me. The drop down menus that let you add or remove graphs for different system components, etc, disappear and are only visible while resizing the window.

The HVM screen doesn't even show up. In the tray, when I click, the two screens show up but when I select the HVM screen, nothing.

If you need all the fans to run - just revert back a version or 2
but you may have to live with out LED sync :-)

HWM isn't in the Tray, only Precision and PrecisionX Server are in the Tray, along with any items from HWM you may have selected to put in the Tray..The HWM button is in the top-left corner of Precision..Clicking HWM button in Precision should open HWM, no?

Mine will not save my settings on system restart. No matter what I do, click apply, check the box to apply previous settings on load, closing the app and restarting before shutdown, none of those makes this app retain all my settings from a system restart or reboot.

 

It seems as though your custom changes might not be getting written/saved to Precision's .cfg files for some reason.

Perhaps if you explain exactly what you're trying to do, solutions could be offered..You may be failing to do/overlooking something simple, but maybe not.

Also state what graphics card(s) and OS you're running, and if you're using the Standalone version of Precision or the Steam version, and what version you're using if other than 6.2.7.

Older versions are available at the bottom of the Precision download page.

I am setting a custom fan curve where the fans spin up in 20% increments set at every extra 10 deg C from 40 on upwards. I click the AUTO button which applies the fan curve setting. I also set my temp target to 60 deg rather than 80. It works fine once I set it. I can even turn it off and turn it back on in Windows and the settings remain. But a system reboot always either changes the temp target back to 80 degs and/or turns off AUTO which kills my fan curve setting.

I was almost gonna say in my last post that I bet you're running Windows 10 Pro..I don't know why that particular OS seems to have the most problems with Precision, but it does..Seems like you've done everything right which would be make a fan curve..Then click OK to activate it and to close the Settings..Then close Precision and open it again.
 
Maybe right-click the Precision installer and 'Run as administrator' when installing..If you right-click on Precision's desktop shortcut (or the .exe in Program Files (x86)\EVGA\Precision XOC)  and then Properties, there's 'Compatibilty mode' and the Compatibility Troubleshooter and 'Run this program as an administrator' options you could try..Or you could change Permissions.

You can right-click Precision's .cfg files in the Program Files (x86)\EVGA\Precision XOC\Profiles folder and change permissions in the Properties -> Security tab..I think I like this idea the best because your changes don't seem like they're being written to the .cfg files and improper write permissions might cause that.

There's older Precision versions at the bottom of the download page..There's Revo Uninstaller (Free) you can run in Advanced Mode to uninstall Precision and remove leftover files/folders/registry items (only remove registry items that are in bold text) should you want to try another version and start fresh.

I don't know what else to tell you right now, I don't have Windows 10 Pro to mess around with it..Just some ideas here..If you figure it out, post your fix..Good luck.

I just did two things and did a reboot, and the OC software finally kept my settings. 
 
1st I took Bob's advice on the cfg file permissions and changed it to allow all users write control.
 
Then I went into OC precision and changed the skin to Kingpin. On that screen there is a button with "Start up (Windows LOGO)" and checked the box.
I shut down OC and restarted it, and my settings were still there, and then I did a reboot, and again they are still there!
 
I hope this is the final solution!

Well that's good news so far 

I hope we're onto something here with the .cfg file write permissions in Win10 Pro..More testing would be needed to confirm that though..I think Win10 Pro may be more stingy with permissions and allowing changes to things than Win10 Home.

Let us know.

'Apply previous settings on load' in the Defualt skin does the same thing as 'Start Up' in the Kingpin skin (just named differently, like in PrecisionX 16), far as I can tell.

So far so good. After several reboots and restarts I still have all my settings.  I forgot to mention "apply previous setting on load" was one of the settings that was always turned off. I would check the box and when I came back it was always unchecked. Not so now for "start up with windows" in the kingpin skin, and the latter is on the main skin page, where "apply previous" is in another window on default skin.

You could uninstall Precision, restart, and then delete the leftover .cfg files and then install Precision again without giving permissions to the .cfg files and see how it rolls.

If permissions for the .cfg files are what's needed, we're nailing it down, and that would be very helpful to the developers and other users.

I changed back to the original default skin, and did a reboot, and it kept all my settings, including the "apply previous setting" checkbox, so I would venture to say it is indeed the EVGAprecision.cfg file permissions that were preventing the settings from being retained. Other than switch skins to kingpin, that's all I did. I did not reinstall OC at any time.

evga precision xoc v6.2.7 turns off by itself. In other words, it always shuts off and I have to reconnect it.

Hello and Welcome to the EVGA Forums
I have my Evga precision XOC v6.2.7 here for long time which I have no problem with this! 
How exactly is your evga precision xoc v6.2.7 shut down itself? I don't see any here mmm that strange to hear this!
Let me try help you so can you try full shut down Precision and make sure OSD server shut down as well so you can check in your task manager see any evga precision server or any precision still running then force to end run and then go to your EVGA Precision profile folder to delete all four *****.cfg.
Try again open evga precision xoc v6.2.7 and setup again and test again!
If not good so only way uninstall evga precision xoc v6.2.7 and reboot your Pc and reinstall run as ADMINISTRACTOR. Before you reinstall evga precision xoc v6.2.7 please delete evga precision profiles first

It sounds as if you might have a 2D and/or 3D Profile assigned in Precision, which is a bug and can cause Precision to unexpectedly close..I can reproduce it here 100% of the time.

In the Profile tab of Precision's Settings, change '2D Profile' and '3D Profile' to 'Not assigned' if they are not..Then click OK..Then close and open Precision again so that the changes stick.

That 100% fixed it for me. Thank you so much!
 
(I even logged back in to this account after ~10 years just to post my thanks.)

 
..Welcome back.

x1 has never worked for me as far as osd. and now that they are no longer making gpus i doubt there will be much support for software that has always had issues.
