HWiNFO 7.66 crashes on start of any program whose name contains non-ANSI characters

[CoolCmd]

1. run hwinfo 7.66, sensors only
2. copy notepad.exe to мазафака.exe (you can pick any non-ANSI characters from charmap.exe)
3. run мазафака.exe
4. hwinfo will crash LOL

hwinfo 7.60 is OK

Martin, tell me why hwinfo monitors the launch of other programs?

Ah, I can see the problem now - it's Intel's PresentMon. It's monitoring FPS presented by other applications and that's crashing.

 

[CoolCmd]

how can i turn off this glitchy presentmon? i do not have any intel hardware on my computer.

There's an option in main settings of HWiNFO to disable PresentMon.
I'm have submitted this bug to Intel:

Crash when launching an application with non-ANSI characters in filename · Issue #191 · GameTechDev/PresentMon

When launching an application with non-ANSI characters in filename (e.g. try to copy notepad.exe and rename it), PresentMon crashes in HandleProcessEvent here: PresentMon/PresentData/PresentMonTrac...

And also working on a fix.

There's an option in main settings of HWiNFO to disable PresentMon.
