AIDA64 Extreme has a hardware detection engine unrivaled in its class. It provides detailed information about installed software and offers diagnostic functions and support for overclocking. As it is monitoring sensors in real time, it can gather accurate voltage, temperature and fan speed readings, while its diagnostic functions help detect and prevent hardware issues. It also offers a couple of benchmarks for measuring either the performance of individual hardware components or the whole system. It is compatible with all 32-bit and 64-bit Windows editions, including Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022.
We've created different AIDA64 editions for different needs. While AIDA64 Extreme fits perfectly into a home environment with all the important features a PC enthusiast would need, it hasn't been designed to perform a detailed audit of a corporate network with hundreds of computers.

So far in two weeks, am experiencing two separate cases of these latest MS updates being installed and causing extreme slowdown on computers. In the first case, it ended up being that Cryptographic Services were being engaged and using CPU excessively, and upon investigating it turned out this CS was being called by the Windows Update process. Killing that CS service, then stopping WU from trying to install the [older] KB5004945 (which I think is the predecessor to KB5004237) and then erasing contents of :\windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download (the WU working cache folder for downloaded updates) got the computer working.
Symptoms of that first incident were that the computer boots fine to the login screen, but as you enter the Windows login info, it then took 5 minutes or more just to get to the desktop, and from there, everything was extremely slow (5+ minutes to get Start menu, 5+ minutes to bring up Task Manager, etc., every.....single.....click....delayed reaction by several minutes.
In the second incident from last week (July 13 2021), all the same symptoms of extreme slowness, but no attribution to CryptoGraphic Services. In that case, we restored from a full system image backup, system works. Allowed this latest KB5004237 to install, and the problem began again. However, it didn't install properly I guess - got no errors though - it hung there at Installing: 73% for a LONG time, so we got impatient and rebooted to either cancel or restart the update. It "finished" however, with the pre-boot blue screen stuff saying "getting Windows ready" etc. As any update would, and later in Check for Updates, there was nothing new found. But the problem then came back within a few minutes.
FYI, booting to Safe Mode again worked fine, but of course WU doesn't run in Safe Mode so nothing useful to do there. Booted to the WinRE environment, did the Uninstall recent updates, picked the Quality update, and it removed successfully - and of course, no fix. No surprise there, when haave these tools ever done anything useful?? No restore points in System Restore found either.
Not sure why in my small world, with only two clients having this issue but where the issue is happening virtually identically on both their computers (computers are not at all the same models nor vendor), how is it that nobody else is reporting these problems. All I see are print problems, BSOD and such. I would think this problem would be common, or am I just that lucky? :)
I just tried swapping the Intel Pentium D 940 (Presler) in my Gigabyte 965P-DS3 system for an Intel Pentium Extreme 840 (Smithfield) and Windows 10 x64 won't boot, but Windows 7 x64 does. Windows 10 starts out OK, but half way through the system reposts.
from Wikipedia:
"
Early AMD64 and Intel 64 CPUs lacked LAHF and SAHF instructions in 64-bit mode. AMD introduced these instructions (also in 64-bit mode) with their Athlon 64, Opteron and Turion 64 revision D processors in March 2005[46][47][48] while Intel introduced the instructions with the Pentium 4 G1 stepping in December 2005. The 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 requires this feature.[45]

Ahh so only the 32bit Win8.1 and 10 will work. Wonder what would happen if Win10 was installed from scratch ? Would it actually try to install or abort saying system does meet Win10 requirements ??? .. hmmm
Actually I had the same problem with an Athlon 64 PC (with a Opteron 170 cpu). Windows 7 64 bit no problem, but Windows 10 64bit did not run, the Opteron is missing the CMPXCHG16b instruction, aaaahhhhh
So I ended up with installing Windows 7 32bit, and upgrading it to Windows 10 32bit.
One of the slowest Windows 10 Pcs ever. It has 2GB RAM though, but no SSD, windows 10 is really sluggish without ssd.
The LGA771 to LGA775 adapter just arrived and worked like a charm. I can now boot both Windows 10 and Windows 7. In both cases the Code was loaded by Windows (it's not in the BIOS) with Windows 10 having a later revision.
