Problem with GPU metrics on Windows 24H2

[TheRedfoox]

Describe the bug Since the Windows 24H2 update, almost no GPU metrics (usage, temperature, power, etc.) come up. However, on another PC running Windows 23H2, the metrics come back correctly.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use the function systeminformation.graphics().
2. Run the application
3. Observe GPU metrics

Current Output GPU metrics (usage, temperature, power, etc.) are not available.

Expected behavior GPU metrics (usage, temperature, power, etc.) should be available, as they are on a Windows 23H2 PC.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• systeminformation package version: 5.22.11
• OS: Windows 24H2
• Hardware: i7 12700k, RTX 3080, 32Go RAM DDR4

To get all needed environment information, please run the following command:

After putting a few debuggers in the code, I realize that getNvidiaSmi() is in error

With even more searching, I see that fs.readdirSync(basePath) would expect to have only directories but actually with my explorer here C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository I see .ini's which may have the same name as some folders.

I think that since Windows 24H2 there are files in FileRepository, which wasn't the case before and which now poses a problem.

[TheRedfoox]

Something like this should solve the problem by simply checking whether the element we're testing is actually a directory.

const candidateDirs = fs.readdirSync(basePath).filter(dir => {
  if (fs.statSync([basePath, dir].join('/')).isDirectory()) {
    return fs.readdirSync([basePath, dir].join('/')).includes('nvidia-smi.exe');
  }
});

I don't know if it's up to me to make a pull request or how to format it to propose this change to fix this problem on Windows 24H2. In any case, I'm available to fix this problem as soon as possible.
