Hello SilverAzide, hello forum users,
my english is not so good that I could understand it all but...
I have understand as far as I was able to configure the program at my new PC in combination with HWiNFO64 with the help of that
tutorial so that it works for me now under Windows 10.
I use Rainmeter 4.5.13.3632 with the last Gadgets skin under Win10 64bit (Pro).
One thing makes me a little bit headache: In a user account (with limited rights on Windows 10 that means I'm not at the administrators group) I must start HWiNFO with admin-rights (
right click -> Start as Admin -> Password input) and then Rainmeter with admin-rights too!
Otherwise the values for the graphical card and some of the CPU not available. The fan speed at CPU Meter (only in %) is still not displayed - maybe is the reason that my motherboard sensor only transmit values in rpm?
Is it possible to change this?
Well, and is that normal with the permission of admin rights for operation with HWiNFO (and can it be a security risk)?
I think that HWiNFO for access of some of the sensors need advanced rights. But why can Rainmeter (with Gadgets Skin) not access of the values without advanced rights under a user account?
My sensor entry list looks as follows:

I have CPU and GPU configured under/with the digit 0 (CPU #0/GPU #0). I don't know if that helps...
PS: It was not possible for me to configure a autostart function of HWiNFO64 with admin rights on a Windows user account
Thanks for your attention!
Have a nice Sunday
