Thank you Martin!

For me it took doing a lot of stupid things like removing HWiNFO from my registry, deleting the service from performance monitor, uninstalling and making sure I only install the stable release without updating to the beta after all that. Not sure what fixed it but that might fix it for you. We...

I went ahead and submitted feedback about this to Microsoft. https://aka.ms/AAvpn2q Perhaps some upvotes and additional comments could expedite a fix from Microsoft's end.... or perhaps you can tweak it a bit to work around this on your end @Martin

might want to take down this beta so others like myself with fully updated Windows are not affected. This had me messing with registry and troubleshooting for an entire night to suss out.

No one really thinks there is a trojan in it, but we're not making this up that a fully updated Windows 11 Pro installation that is in good shape (sfc /scannow, dism restore health etc show the OS is fine) is rejecting the latest beta, and now we know it's not just me.

Just updated again. Same result.

So Windows Defender antivirus is activated on my PC. No third party things though. And even through Sourceforge, it blocks my download and tells me this: I update to the latest betas all the time and have never experienced any issues like this until now.

MS Edge refuses to download the 8.25 beta because it says it has a virus.

and how do I do a manual update to the installer version of the 8.25 beta? Again, all I see is the portable version.

I do not have MSI Afterburner installed. I run the Installer version of HWiNFO and not the Portable version. I do not see a download link available for the Installer version of the 8.25 beta.

8.24 works. As soon as it updates to 8.25 Beta it is broken. Persistent Driver was disabled in 8.24 before the update. I just replicated this again.

UPDATE: Deleted HWiNFO service from registry and restarted per instructions from Martin in other threads. Uninstalled and reinstalled HWiNFO 824. Was prompted to install beta update and I did it. Still getting Cannot Install the HWiNFO Driver message.

Managed to get to the settings menu after a reinstall to enable debug mode and here's my debug file.

HWiNFO tells me it cannot install the driver after latest beta auto-update. All recommended things do not apply (see topic). Can't get program to launch to enable debug logging. Any ideas?

I did not create my own task or modify the one created by HWiNFO. But I did disable and enable Auto Start as suggested and did a restart, this seems to have fixed it.

Issue still persists for me in 7.73-5375

repro'd here.

No. The latest version downloadable directly from the Stream Deck app's store is 1.1.1, and I thought Stream Deck itself would update these things, and I didn't need to dive into GitHub.. Even asking the BarRaider people in their Discord about it left me with a response telling me to downgrade...

There was a recent public update that I downloaded, and mind you, I actually decided to pay for the Pro license just to ensure Stream Deck functionality even though this license is meant to monetize professional users, and now in version 7.10-4540, Stream Deck plugin support appears to be...

What I am saying is that this cost does not justify my use case for HWiNFO, and enough Stream Deck users will agree to the point where someone else will come through with a solution. What I am also saying is that if I cannot pay for a lifetime license, however much it will cost, I will simply...
