I'm not really sure how to answer. If you have mapped a HWiNFO sensor to show the CPU Usage that you want, then all you would do would be to reference the HWiNFO plug measure that retrieves that value in the meter that displays it.Sorry for the necro, but came across this after updating to Windows 11 on new build.
Can you tell me where I would add this code you so kindly made. I've looked in a few files, but not sure which file or where it should go.
I know you make Gadgets, Im just used to the look of Rainformer for years now. I only use cpu / gpu on a small screen inside my case.
I've read and understand the points you've made, about it being a Windows issue. I'm probably way wrong here, and this might be Rainformer specific not Rainmeter.... But I can manually select which sensor in HWInfo64 reports my cpu temp, gpu usage etc. I can even select the 'right' cpu usage. Just there is no option to assign it. There is only temp, fan, clock in the SMV option.
I currently set the fan rpm, to actually read total cpu usage, this aligns with other programs showing cpu usage. Sensor 0xf0000300.
So for example, if the measure is [MyHWiNFOMeasure], then change the meter that displays the old usage value to use your measure instead (typically, this could be something like MeasureName=MyHWiNFOMeasure or maybe a reference in the Text option. You'd need to package up your skin and post it here to get a more exact answer.
