The timer at the bottom right of the Sensors screen no longer updates in real-time. The only change I've made is to enable SVM/virtualisation in the BIOS. This problem seems to occur sporadically, but is almost-always reproducible when running the CoreCycler script (which only uses 1 thread at a time), with HWiNFO reporting CPU utilisation < 5%.
This occurs on at least versions7.17-4660 up to 7.2, including betas in-between releases. I've only used the Sensors Only mode.
I've tried
The real-time timer at the bottom right of the Sensors window sometimes ticks second by second ((when set to 1,000 ms global), every 2 seconds (which I believe is the new default behaviour), or now most commonly it can tick by with seemingly random number of second - sometimes a delay of only 3-4 seconds, there will be a delay of up to 10,000 ms on occasion (that I've noticed).
This is despite changing global polling period. When enabling Profiling Time to see if there are any devices that have suddenly stopped working correctly, only a few show any delay at all (under 20 ms) with the rest showing a solid 0.
My next idea is to try HWiNFO v6.x portable to see if that changes anything. Apart from that, does anyone have any ideas as to what the cause could be?

I've tried
- Updating to the latest version
- Resetting all HWiNFO settings
- Removing HWiNFO entirely and reinstalling
- Closing other software/services that might be polling the same sensors (Afterburner, Corsair iCUE, etc.)
- Enabling Profiling Time and disabling monitoring of devices with a higher value than 0. This included two SATA HDDs (but not SATA SSDs) with a reported value of ~14 / A Corsair/CoolIt CLC with a reported value of ~10 / An EVGA RTX 3080 with a reported value of ~12.
- Disabling HWiNFO from accessing/supporting Corsair & Asetek products
- Disabling devices one-by-one to see which might be the cause, but that doesn't seem to help.
- Changing polling time/period options from the default 2,000 (Global) | 100 (SMART) | 1 (Embedded Controller), which stops the timer from displaying second in real-time, to options that have worked for years; 1,000 (Global) | 1,500 (SMART) | 1 (Embedded Controller
- Switching between Snapshot CPU Polling and the default method - this seems to make a small difference (enabling Snapshot CPU Polling), but there's no obvious pattern.
