HWiNFO keeps auto starting itself.

[Kol12]

When I close HWiNFO it restarts itself (to the small box with Run/Settings). If I close off the small box it instantly pops open again. Sometimes on system reboots it's auto starting itself in this fashion as well. Is this a bug?

Do you have MSI Afterburner configured to use the HWiNFO plugin? If yes, that's causing it.

 

[Kol12]

Yes I do. So I cannot close of HWiNFO as long as the plugin is enabled in MSI AB?

 

[Martin]

Yes. It's not HWiNFO, but MSI AB restarting it in such case. Not sure if it has an option to prevent that.

Yes. It's not HWiNFO, but MSI AB restarting it in such case. Not sure if it has an option to prevent that.

I can't see anything in MSI AB or RTSS settings related to the HWiNFO plugin specifically... Is this something the MSI AB dev needs to look at?

 

[Martin]

Yes.

 

[Kol12]

OK.
