TaskManager+ v2.5.1 — Fixes app hanging on startup

A patch release fixing a startup hang that affected some machines.

The fix

  • No more "Loading processes" freeze — on systems where Windows' hardware-info service responds slowly, a background query for AI-accelerator details could stall indefinitely. Because all hardware readings share a queue, that one stuck query blocked everything, leaving the app stuck on "Loading processes" forever.
  • Bounded queries — those lookups now give up after a few seconds and continue without the optional detail, instead of waiting forever.
  • Isolated failures — a single hardware reading that fails or is unavailable no longer prevents the rest of the app from loading. The process list now appears even if an optional sensor can't be read.

This mainly affected machines without a dedicated AI accelerator (NPU), particularly some AMD laptops.
