Auto Logging to a specific Drive and CSV

[DanielSchneider1990]

Hello,

i used the search but could not find a solution.

So i know the "command line" commands to create or start auto logging. But what i want to do is to start auto logging and let HWInfo write to a already created CSV.
HWInfo is installed on Drive :C but the CSV is located on Drive :S...yes i know i could create the CSV also on Drive :C within the folder of HWInfo but this is also creating a new file always...i want the old file to be overwritten.

So i tried to use this command line:
"C:\Program Files\HWiNFO64\HWiNFO64.exe" -l -c "S:\HWInfo Logs\HWInfo Log.csv"

But it did not work...is there a solution to do it automatically? I dont want to start HWInfo and click on LOG Sensors and choose the File on drive :S and click "YES Overwrite the file".

Thanks!

Use: "C:\Program Files\HWiNFO64\HWiNFO64.exe" -l"S:\HWInfo Logs\HWInfo Log.csv"

Thanks! That was quick and easy... =)

Is this compatible with the AUTOSTART Folder from Windows? Can i just put the File with the Command Line into the autostart folder and it will start with windows and run the logging?

or what is the correct way to automatically start HWInfo with the command line?
I want to avoid the UAC Prompt...

Thanks!

It should be compatible. HWiNFO has also an option to Auto Start which sets up a Task Scheduler task. You can then modify this task to add arguments.

Can you please comment in detail how to autostart via the scheduler so it can run in the background? I have spent the last two days trying to figure out how to do this without success.

Go into the main settings of HWiNFO and select "Minimize..." for all windows that you want hidden. These settings will then be also applied when starting from Task Scheduler.
