I am an experiencing a consistent memory leak.
hwinfo.exe will leak gigabytes of ram over a few hours, 1-5gb easy.
CPU usage will also slowly increase till its heating up my CPU and my fans start roaring.
Disabling all of the sensors doesn't seem to stop the leak, I will keep testing/isolating and report findings.
I have disabled all logging and monitoring for unused items.
I tried disabling GPU Power based on suggestions from other threads, as well as all of the sensors.
OS: Windows 11 64bit
HWInfo Version: 7.36-4960
System: Intel i7-12700KF, AMD 6900XT, Gigabyte Z690M AORUS ELITE AX DDR4
All my drivers should be the latest available as well as HWInfo version.
UPDATE (Resolved)
The leak was actually from an Elgato Stream Deck Plugin which has a hwinfo.exe that had/has a leak.
I deleted the plugin and now there is no hwinfo.exe to leak.
