Sierra 10.12.4, Activity Monitor Crash

After updating from the AppStore, the very same problem in the Probook.
 
I'm on the same boat.

Do you know, if eventually we can use a clover kext patch to inject the model, serial and manufacturer for the battery?

Cheers!

Battery status has nothing to do with Clover.

I see.

Well, another interesting fact. When I'm on AC, I can see the time until the battery will become full. When I'm on battery, there's no time remaining. So, I think the energy tab crashing has to do with no getting the proper charge/discharge rate info.

Off-topic: Your fork of GenericUSBXHCI kext works on 10.12.4 and I can use it with my FL1000G chip. I do have to plug the devices more than one time to be recognized, but it works. The other thing is that USB devices don't appear on System Profiler in USB. Drives appear only in Storage.

Cheers!

That is a feature.... that Apple removed.

No.

Both as expected/known issues.
 
It is a known problem, already documented:

More interesting would be someone running 10.12.4, with working battery status, that *does not* have the issue...

@RehabMan: A quick tip to put into the guide: if you lock the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist file, you can reopen it after a crash (triggered by selecting the Energy tab) without deleting the .plist again. It always defaults to CPU view.
Note that you have to click "Ignore" after the crash and then manually reopen it. If you click "Reopen" in the crash notice tab, it tries to reinitialise the same instance and it crashes nevertheless.

Thanks for the tip. Added...
