Why does Intel Power Gadget fully freeze the system? I have installed Intel Power Gadget. When I've tried to start the app it fully freezes system. I then need to reboot.

I have the problem with a MacBook Air (i7, 2012) with a clean install of macOS 10.11.6. On an iMac (i5, 2014) also U CPU model, and same macOS 10.11.6, starting the app works and it shows what I need.

Why does Intel Power Gadget not work on the MacBook Air.
I would uninstall Power Gadget fully then reinstall from a fresh download of 3.5.2.

I have it running successfully on an 2012 13" MBP i7 w/ 10.11 w/ no problems, as well as a 2015 15" MBP i7 w/ 10.13

Is everything else ok, e.g. Apple Diagnostics/Apple Hardware Test, SMC, etc.?
