Right-click on the file "OpenHardwareMonitor.exe" and then choose the option of "Run as Administrator". Also, you must run your app with administration rights as you cannot obtain temp and other sensor access without it. After that, go to the User Account Control prompt and then choose the option of "Yes".

Go to the section of temperatures on your app screen and there you can determine the temperature of every core of CPU. You can also view other important information such as the temperature of your SSD drive and hard drive.

Go to the Search Result from Details Pane and select the option of Run as Administrator and select PowerShell from User Account Control. After that, copy and paste the command "Install-Module-Name OpenHardwareMonitor".

After you run the command mentioned above, you are going to view a message that will ask for your permission to install NutGet provider.Type Y in the command prompt and press Enter.

Now, wait for a few minutes and allow NuGet provider installation to complete. Once the provider gets installed, you will see a PowerShell prompt blinking for some time. This is happening because your PC is downloading OpenHardwareMonitor.

After downloading the module, PowerShell will reappear on your screen. After that, type the command "Measure-CPU temperature" and press the enter key.
