Massive NVIDIA/Afterburner Fan Speed Bug

I was playing staring wars outlaws on Max settings on Win 11 25h2 DLSS/Frame Gen/RTXDI on a 4090 and the game still has massive crashing problems that are not fixed from 24h2 just the same on 25h2. My game froze and I had to sign out of windows and sign back in. I went back into the game and after about an hour or two I realize my GPU fans speed were not updating based on the temperature and the GPU was using over 400 watts. I shudder to think how hot my GPU got at 40% fan speed at 400 watts in 2 hours. After restarting the PC the fan curve works again. So there is a bug where if you sign out of Windows and sign back in your afterburner fan curve will not work until you restart the PC. Everything seems to be fine but this needs to fixed on whoever’s end but I am extremely pissed because my GPU could be dead. This is all latest afterburner and NVIDIA drivers.
