Shared Memory 12 Hour Limit Popup

When using HWiNFO in a Windows Server 2016 environment, a 12-hour limit pop-up for shared memory appears.
Shared memory is disabled in the HWiNFO configuration.

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO HWiNFO64 COMING SOON

Dear users, Today, I'd like to share with you some important changes coming to HWiNFO (especially HWiNFO64) in the near future. For many years it was possible to maintain this project as an unconditional freeware model and cover the expenses and effort with some income from advertisements and...

I am aware that Pro is required to use SHM for more than 12 hours.
I have SHM set to Disabled. Is it correct behavior to see popups in that state?

That's not expected, the warning should not appear if that option is initially disabled.
Try to disable the Shared Memory option, restart HWiNFO and make sure it's disabled.

When HWiNFO was restarted, the configuration was in a state of rollback.
We tried to perform a reconfiguration from initializing the settings.
Popups seem to no longer appear.

Hi, I think I have same issue, I assume RTSS OSD doesnt count as sharing?

I played game last night, using some values from hwinfo on OSD, and then put PC to sleep, today I woke it up and hwinfo pops up saying 12 hours exceeded, I dont know what the default is for the setting, but I know I never manually turned it on.

v7.46-5110

RTSS still working, so not sure why I got the popup.

Not seen the popup since, so maybe I did turn it on before or it was a one off issue.
