It stopped working in version 8.46.

Yeah I got the notification it stopped working as well. :/ You can either grab this .AHK script or use the .exe which does the same thing. It just auto restart HWINFO after 12 hrs. Working for me for now... I will never support this devloper after what I've seen him post on the original fork of this auto hot key mod. https://github.com/Kaan88/HWiNFO-12-hour-limit-refresh
Original fork where the HWINFO dev posted (He deleted everything isn't working use this new fork from above link.): SoFMeRight/HWiNFO_Refresh#1

Thanks for the alternative.

I tried it, but the CPU usage is constantly like this image.

The update didn't require any updates in my environment, so I reverted to version 8.44. hw

Huhhh? What CPU is that? Why the most on my system I just tested the most I saw using that .exe and the actual .ahk script using AutoHotkey itself most I saw is 0.2% It's a hotkey script it shouldn't be using that much CPU utilization wtf.

Welp looks like this actually doesn't re-trick the 12 hour timer after a restart using these AutoHokey scripts, I just now noticed so I'm just going to have to go back to previous version I guess... Damn.
