This is an unusual problem. I've been using HWInfo for many years and have always been extremely satisified with the performance except for when on windows 10. I install HWInfo64 by manually placing it in a Program Files\HWInfo folder and providing write permissions to that folder for the .ini file. After my initial use of HWInfo, my system freezes randomly. Even if I stop using HWInfo64, my system continues to freeze as often as every 5 or 10 minutes. Removing HWInfo does not stop the freezing. Finding a viable restore point and restoring my system to a time prior to the initial use of HWInfo will clear up the freezes and the system stays that way if I don't use HWInfo. I've observed this behavior with ASUS Z170 Deluxe and ASRock Z170 OC Formula motherboards and with builds 1511 and 1607 of Windows 10 released by Microsoft in November of 2015 and August 2nd, 2016 respectively. Once HWInfo is used, the system continuously freezes. I've been extremely satisified with the HWInfo product, but as an alternative, I tried Speccy which coincidently does the same exact thing. After Speccy's initial use around October 13th my system started freezing every 5 minutes and I can't find a good System Restore point to eliminate the problem. At this time, I can only report the problem with HWInfo and can't investigate the problem. If you have encountered this issue before, please let me know about your findings and I will investigate once I clear up my current problem. I am using a Samsung SM-951 256GB m.2 Gen3 4X card as my boot drive which I noticed is in common with other systems reporting Freezes, but I've found no other experiences where the system freezes occur when HWInfo is no longer being used on the system. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
