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.

This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.
- Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
- This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
- You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
- There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.
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.

hwmonitor.portable has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
Congratulations! This package passed automatic validation review without flagging on any issues the validator currently checks. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.
