On HWINFO startup on some of my computes, I see HWINFO first showing "examining system information", then "detecting sensors" when I launch sensors. When I shutdown HWINFO and restart, the same thing repeats. These messages take some time, especially during "detecting sensors".
However, on one of my machines, when I start HWINFO, there is no such message and sensor panel would launch right away. In other words, HWINFO does not seem to look for new sensors on this machine.
Why is this? Is there a benefit to detecting sensors on startup? Can BIOS upgrade or driver upgrades expose more information to HWINFO and therefore detecting sensors can find them on startup?
Thanks.
