Description

Description:

The Hashtopolis client fails to run on my Windows 11 system due to an issue with the wmic command. The error occurs when the client tries to retrieve CPU information using wmic. However, wmic is deprecated and no longer available on modern Windows 11 installations. This results in a subprocess.CalledProcessError.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download agent.zip
2. Run python main.py on a Windows 11 system.
3. Observe the error.

Thanks for your detailed bug report. I think the best solution for this would be to use python code to determine the cpu architecture when on windows. For example use the platform.processor() function. That way we wont be reliant on which windows version is being used.
