Hwinfo needs a comparative benchmark module.

no it doesnt

Just a simple FLOPS or Mem bandwith would be very nice. Something like CPUz has, just way less heavy for old HW

I've started using winget on Windows 10 to perform updates to various programs. One of these is HwInfo. The problem is that with the change from installer to just copying the new version in, is that the installed version as shown in registry is incorrect, so winget wants to do an unnecessary upgrade.

My request, is that when HWINFO is run, that it check to see if registry entries exist, if so, if the version info is incorrect then update those fields. Winget looks at the displayed version field, but may as well update the others as well. If there's no registry entries then do nothing.

Not implemented in the latest release 8.44, I wonder if the author even read it.

I have read it, but don't consider this as a good solution. Running a portable build on a system with an installed version would overwrite this version and could cause issues with uninstall inforamtion.

There's no choice for 32-bit computers. I used to run the installer, but then that was taken away and only the portable version can be used. So I copy the portable exe on top of the previous one, but it doesn't update the uninstall info. What other choice do I have?

I guess I can make a reg file to update the fields myself.

Hippo 15 board V1.11. Hwinfo reports it as Hippo12.
