HWiNFO64 8.20-5640 hangs

[Raimoraimo]

This is a new Core Ultra 9 285K installation, Asus HERO Z890 and Asus RTX4070, Windows 23H2. HWiNFO64 will be "not responding" in TM, but TM CPU usage is System/System Idle Process (and very high, the system becomes choppily unresponsive. If manage to End HWiNFO task, system returns to normal, possibly needs an Explorer.exe restart as well). With these conditions it seems hard to create a debug file. I first thought that it might be due to it polling the iGPU so I disabled that and it seemed to have an effect, but it still keeps happening. The Asus EC sensors have been disabled when asked to.

It should be still possible to create the Debug File. Just start in Debug Mode and after killing the task grab the DBG file.

Okay, I can try. Problem is that the problem is also still somewhat random, so it won't do it always.

...And it didn't trigger. On my first try I did see very high CPU usage but the full choppy system didn't trigger even then. I closed and restarted HWINFO for a second attempt, but no luck. Here's the Debug and HTML anyway. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/jlp1...bjIPEmZQ?rlkey=tbv8ra1jd52iz22tjw10ei34v&dl=0

I added a second small Debug file to that folder - the issue didn't trigger but I saw abnormally high "Intel(R) System Usage Report" in TM, maybe a new form of the bug? Still not the mouse choppy full system hang though, could run my demanding work app (Pro Tools, audio mixing) as well while it was happening.
