Description
Describe the bug
I recently updated from version 3.7.0 (running as Python scripts) to latest 3.9.6 version (using Windows Installer).
I previously had a custom script to show my local IP address, which now no longer works. With the Windows Installer version, I can't see a .\library\sensors folder like I had before, meaning I can't re-add my sensors_custom.py script.
Please could you advise how it is done with the Windows Installer version?
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Have an existing Python-based install, e.g. 3.7.0 running from a folder on your C: drive
- Install latest 3.9.6 version using the easy Windows Installer method
- Navigate to C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Turing System Monitor
- Observe no .\library\sensors sub-folder like before
Expected behavior
Folder to exist, drop file in, restart, IP address shows on display

Environment:
- Turing 3.5"
- Version 3.9.6 with Windows Installer
- OS Windows 11 25H2
- Python 3.14
- Intel i7-14700, Nvidia GTX 1080, 32GB RAM

Research direction
Inspect the Windows Installer location at C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Turing System Monitor and compare it with the former .\library\sensors location. Trace how sensors_custom.py was discovered in the Python-based install; done means establishing the supported custom-sensor location or documenting the Windows Installer procedure so the IP address appears after restart.
