It didn't come up as v8.14. I eventually just downloaded it from the site.
Is the system tray option in the main setting's general tab? I don't see an option to remove it. Just to be clear, I'd rather not have the HWInfo system tray icon at all. It shows on app launch and persists until I close the application.
Yes, it's in the "General / User Interface" tab. In some situations it's not possible to completely disable the tray icon as it would be impossible to reach certain options.
