I think I have resolved this issue. In my last report I hoped that new drivers would fix it, but they did not - the freezing sensors recurred. The resolution turned out to be complete removal of HWiNFO, followed by register cleaning to remove traces of its installation, followed by installation...

An update. In the Win 11 update on Mar 11 [2025-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5053598)], many drivers were updated, among them the ones that were involved in my recent BSODs while trying to enable core isolation. I am now running with core isolation...

Didn't think it was. I'm wondering if the misbehaving driver is also causing the HWiNFO issue, since I see nobody else having this problem. I've been trying to identify old cruft and deleting drivers that are no longer needed, such as LSI 3ware and the like. It's a slog. I know the quick way...

Just to say I am not giving up yet. I've just installed Windows 11 and had to fight several driver issues along with that (what a PITA - it should have been called Windows 9.5, as it seems to be a pared-down version of 10). I still have one outstanding that causes Win 11 to turn off core...

I mentioned CoreTemp, which has never caused an issue before. I have avoided AISuite, as it never has offered anything to me after Fan Xpert was dropped from it. I do have the Lian Li L-Connect-3 running, as it seems to be required by the AIO cooler (GA II Trinity Performance 360), and I have...

Owing to my need for monitoring of the EC, it seems I can no longer use HWiNFO64 to report my sensors. It hangs so badly that only a hard reboot corrects it, and then not for very long - within a day or two it hangs again. So, I no longer run HWiNFO64. If this is not corrected, I will not be...

I downloaded that beta using your link, thanks. I will get some baseline info as you suggest.

I've been up without issues for 3 days now. If it makes it to 4 I will re-enable EC support and see how that goes. Also, replying to red-ray: the system does not lock up and freeze, only the sensor reporting by HWiNFO and Rainmeter. But, if it happens again, I will try to fire up SIV and see...

Issued stop followed by delete. Now to create a restore point.

Here's an interesting wrinkle: when I issue the command "sc query type=driver | find "HW" " I get two hits - both HWiNFO_178 and HWiNFO_204 are found. I'm wondering if there's some kind of conflict/race condition going on. Looks like something belonging to an earlier release got left during an...

Good question. If/when it happens again I will try that. The usual sequence I followed at first was (1) quit HWiNFO, whereupon it would display the stuck sensor messages, (2) then I would try to kill it using task mgr, which would not kill it, (3) try to kill it again, (4) try to do a normal...

All sensors, AFAICT. Starts with CPU, then goes on to fan 1, fan 2... I will disable EC anyhow to see if there is a change.

In my system, with HWiNFO 8.20-5640 (pro) and Rainmeter, using shared memory, about every two days the sensors freeze - all the lines in Rainmeter go flat, and in the sensor window, the values don't change. If HWiNFO is shut down there is screen after screen saying that a sensor is stuck, and...
