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.
