Sorry to read that. Seems that systeminformation is also using wmic which is deprecated in 24H2:

I am also looking for a solution to read wmi with nodejs without wmic with nodejs / electron.

@wald-tq @xwenzheng ... since version 5.9.7. we removed the use of wmic (as it is deprecated - see also https://github.com/sebhildebrandt/systeminformation/issues/616). Anyway, there seems to be an issue in powershell calling:

Get-CimInstance win32_VideoController | fl *

Can you confirm that this is not longer working (when calling this from powershell)?

Thank you for testing.

[wald-tq]

@sebhildebrandt thanks, I solved it in my app by calling powershell. I didn't know that you already solved that in your library.

Get-CimInstance win32_VideoController | fl *

This command works on my laptop with Windows 10

@sebhildebrandt will this issue be resolved in the complete rewrite (6.0)?

[sebhildebrandt]

@Spartan-Hex-Shadow @xwenzheng @wald-tq ... the latest version 5.23.11 does not use wmic. I am using Get-CimInstance win32_VideoController | fl * (see line 831) ... can you try it once again and provide the full error message?

Just realized i was running on an old version. I do not see the error anymore, thank you!

@wald-tq @Spartan-Hex-Shadow @xwenzheng ... then I can close this issue, right. If you still have any errors, please feel free to reopen this ticket.
