Fixed:
Dialog window refreshing issue.
Autostart which now can work from wherever sidebar is installed!
Changelog display bug
Assembly versions of sidebar so it shows the file version correctly
Upgrade notes:
SidebarDiagnostics is now a .NET V8 application built to a support minimum of Windows 10.
Only standalone build supported at the moment.
Known Issues:
The standalone build will not auto-update.
if SidebarDiagnostics is showing zero values for CPU metrics this is likely due to the Winring0 to PawnIO transition in LibreHardwareMonitor. To solve this make sure you have PawnIO installed. if still not showing values check if your specific chipset has been added to LibreHardwareMonitor.
Standalone Installation:
To run the app without installing, download the the zip file, extract it to a location of your choice and run "SidebarDiagnostics.exe". If you have an existing settings.json that can be copied into the folder its running from.
