Deployment Method: Individual Install, Upgrade, & Uninstall
To install HWMonitor (Portable), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To upgrade HWMonitor (Portable), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To uninstall HWMonitor (Portable), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
Deployment Method:
This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url
(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
2. Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download hwmonitor.portable --internalize --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade hwmonitor.portable -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade hwmonitor.portable -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

4. If applicable - Chocolatey configuration/installation
See infrastructure management matrix for Chocolatey configuration elements and examples.
This package is likely a meta/virtual (*) or an installer (*.install) or portable (*.portable) application package.
- Meta/virtual (*) - has a dependency on the *.install or the *.portable package - it is provided for discoverability and for other packages to take a dependency on.
- Portable (*.portable/*.commandline (deprecated naming convention)/*.tool (deprecated naming convention)) - usually zips or archives that require no administrative access to install.
- Install (*.install/*.app (deprecated naming convention)) - uses native installers, usually requires administrative access to install.

HWMonitor
HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that aggregates several data points from from your PC hardware's sensors, and enables easy tracking of current and some historical (minimum and maximum) values, which can optionally be saved for future reference. These can be useful for performance tests, benchmarks, and troubleshooting.
Supported Data Points/Sensors
- Voltages
- Temperatures (configurable as either Celsius or Fahrenheit)
- Fan speeds
- Hardware utilization (available capacity, load, storage space, activity, etc.)
- Power utilization
- Power current
- Clock speeds
- Counters (SMART data, PCIe errors, etc.)
- Battery capacities (design capacity, capacity at full charge, current capacity, etc.)
- Battery levels (load, wear, charge, etc.)
- Performance limits
- Speeds (read/write for storage devices, upload/download for network adapters)
Supported Hardware Types
- Motherboards
- Central Processing Units (CPU)
- Random-access memory (RAM)
- Graphics Processing Units (GPU)
- Network adapters (physical or virtual)
- Laptop batteries
- Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
Package Parameters
Parameter | Environment Applicability | Script Applicability | Description |
---|---|---|---|
/PreserveAllBinaries |
64-bit only | Install | Opt out of removing the 32-bit binary. Separate shortcuts will be created for both binaries. Not honored for 32-bit package behavior (whether an actual environment or forced with --forcex86 ), as the 64-bit binary should be incompatible. |
/NoDefaultShim |
All environments | Install | Opt out of creating the default GUI shim, and removes any existing default shim. |
/ShimWithPlatform |
All environments | Install | Creates a second GUI shim with an explicit platform name (i.e. HWMonitor_x32 and/or HWMonitor_x64 ). Use if you require disambiguation for your commands/scripts. |
/NoDesktopShortcut |
All environments | Install | Opt out of creating Desktop shortcut(s). |
/NoProgramsShortcut |
All environments | Install | Opt out of creating Programs shortcut(s) in your Start Menu. |
/DontPersistSettings |
All environments | Uninstall | Uninstalling the package will normally exclude the generated settings file (hwmonitorw.ini ) to facilitate easier reinstallation. This switch will include the file during cleanup. |

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
