v1.7.28July 2026
Honest words, working instruments
The app now says plainly when a repair was stopped by the Windows permission prompt, and the anonymous GPU statistic that was blank on nearly every PC now actually reports.
- When the Windows permission prompt stops a repair, the app now says exactly that. Every repair that changes your system first asks Windows for permission, the standard blue prompt. When that prompt was declined, or ignored until Windows dismissed it on its own, the app used to show a raw PowerShell error and claim the fix was rolled back. Neither was true: nothing ran, so there was nothing to roll back. The message is now one honest sentence: the repair did not run because the Windows permission prompt was not approved. We reproduced a real declined prompt on a clean test machine and read the words it produced before shipping them
- Care went into not overcorrecting. A repair that genuinely ran and then failed keeps its full failure story, even if its error text happens to contain a cancellation phrase. Only the app's own permission-prompt detector, which sees the prompt outcome directly, can produce the new message, so a real failure can never be dressed up as a harmless decline
- The anonymous GPU statistic now reports. The app keeps optional, anonymous hardware stats, including whether a PC has a dedicated graphics card, which is how we decide what to build next, like the graphics acceleration pack. That reading was only taken on machines that ran a manual command-line scan, which almost nobody does, so it was blank on 99.5 percent of active PCs. The launch check now takes the reading itself. Nothing new is collected: the same GPU yes-or-no answer and adapter name that already existed, just no longer blank. If you have stats turned off, the check never runs at all
- When a repair script dies without finishing, the failure note now records whether it produced any output first. That one detail separates a repair that never started from one that was cut short mid-run, which is exactly the evidence we need to chase the remaining failures
- The update intelligence knows the July 28 preview update (KB5101684), verified against Microsoft's own release notes and marked clean. No new repairs; the module catalog is unchanged
