I hardly think this qualifies as a "bug" until we know a lot more. Perhaps you might like to post the code for the skin in question so we can take a look at it.

You might also open a PowerShell window and type in:

Get-NetAdapter | format-table -property "InterfaceDescription", "InterfaceIndex" -HideTableHeaders

Then post what it returns here.

First thing I would try though, is to make sure your SysInfo measures are set with SysInfoData=Best.

I'm on Windows 11, and all the SysInfo network stuff works fine for me.

I seem to have fixed it by adding DynamicVariables=1, but it should be noted that DynamicVariables wasn't needed before the update to 11.

Dunno. This works perfectly fine for me on Windows 11. No DynamicVariables=1 needed, although I would certainly add it on any skin I was distributing.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1
DynamicWindowSize=1

[MeasureSys1]
Measure=SysInfo
SysInfoType=HOST_NAME

[MeasureSys2]
Measure=SysInfo
SysInfoType=IP_ADDRESS
SysInfoData=Best

[MeasureSys3]
Measure=SysInfo
SysInfoType=NET_MASK
SysInfoData=Best

[MeasureSys4]
Measure=SysInfo
SysInfoType=GATEWAY_ADDRESS
SysInfoData=Best

[MeasureSys5]
Measure=SysInfo
SysInfoType=DNS_SERVER
SysInfoData=Best

[MeasureSys6]
Measure=SysInfo
SysInfoType=DOMAIN_NAME
SysInfoData=Best

[MeterDummy]
Meter=String

You pasted in the string twice, that is why that PowerShell failed.

Any chance you are using UpdateDivider=-1 on your SysInfo measures?

[jsmorley]

One possible culprit is that Windows is not activating your network immediately when Windows boots up and Rainmeter starts, and there is no network info detected when the skin is first started. SysInfo won't see the change to the meaning of "Best" from nothing to something unless DynamicVariables is active on the measure.
