I updated CoreTemp to version 1.20 and cannot seem to get it to allow
showing both CPU usage and highest core temp. I used to be able to
display all of that plus memory usage in the taskbar. Now if I click an additional circle it just goes to that one and doesn't allow both.
Anyone else using CoreTemp notice this.

Is this some Addon to it, or the main program ?

No, that's an add-on and unnecessary.
I decided in your honor to let AI have a chance and Google gave me this: --------
How to Restore Your Missing Icons
To bring back the CPU load and memory usage icons in version 1.20,
follow these steps:

Open Settings: Go to Options > Settings in the main Core Temp window.
Navigate to Notification Area: Click on the Notification Area tab.
Enable Extra Sensors: Look for the "Extra icons" section. Here, you
must manually check the boxes for:
Processor load
RAM utilization (Memory usage)
Apply Changes: Click OK. Your icons should reappear in the system
tray.

Why Did This Change?
The version 1.20 update introduced a new notification tray configuration
that allows users to show or hide any available sensor individually.
Because of this structural change, the developers noted that all
existing color and display configurations were reset to a "clean slate"
during the upgrade
-------

This advice turned out to be 100% correct. What I had failed to do is
scroll down in the "sensors" box. They are back to how I want them now

Both boxes in the picture go away and all you get is the three settings
in the taskbar. In this case Ram utilization, CPU load, and highest
core temp. I changed the colors after this pic and rearranged them, but
you get the idea.

Thanks!

That picture shows good context. The red color for the thermal one
is a good choice, even though 93F is a bit less than human body temperature,
so as processor temperatures go, that's pretty low.

I don't run that many queries through the AI separately. The Google AI Summary one, appears sometimes and not others, and it occasionally has a full answer. The Google links these days, are mostly worthless by themselves, I don't
get too many answers that way. What's really shocking though, is some
topics absolutely refuse to appear in a search, as if there is an active
effort to filter them off. I have tried and tried to get a Disk Management image for the laptop Micky has, and it just does not appear.

https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/core-ultra-5-225.c3783

Hybrid Cores: P-Cores: 6
(Arrow Lake) E-Cores: 4

AI Boost NPU 3: 13 TOPS
TDP: 65 W
PL1: 65 W
PL2: 121 W

On a desktop, that should be relatively easy to cool.
