Absolutely - nothing is impossible. In this case though, it's quite unlikely, despite our best efforts, since it's not like we're able to retrieve the Task Manager data, and Windows itself is closed source. The fact that SilverAzide's suite, one of the most accurate if not the most accurate in that regard, isn't able to do it is a good indicator of the available possibilities. Normally, I could give a helping hand in such cases since I'm one of the guys that doesn't take no for an answer either, but I don't have a good opinion about Win 11 (to put it mildly) and I don't plan on installing it very soon (if ever).OK, OK, I get your point...![:D]( "Big Grin")
What I mean is, I get that it's not a Rainmeter bug or miscalculation issue. MS changed the way this works.
But if Task Manager shows the right data then it must be a way around this.
Surely we cannot wait for MS to fix something just because it affects third party tools, right?
As for the Rainmeter developers, they do their best too, but in essence Rainmeter is just a tool that retrieves data from other sources (mostly Windows itself) in these cases, it's not a HWiNFO or MSI AB to try and get such data on its own through various low level techniques, hacks or workarounds, so the possibilities are limited in that regard as well.
So, it's not like there's no willingness to "fix" this from the Rainmeter side, it's just that all these tools are based on the Windows ecosystem to provide data, and when the latter doesn't offer many alternatives, there isn't much one can do about it - that's all I'm saying. Many other tools tried to alleviate such discrepancies in the past (the Task Manager readings issue itself, in various forms, is an old issue, by the way) and most of what could be done was guesswork and tricky workarounds, given that MS isn't known to bother answering these things (in fact, it almost always locks these questions out of their great concern for user opinion, of course)...
