SysManager 1.78.1 aflaai

[1.78.1] - 2026-09-07
A tab that uses Windows PowerShell can no longer sit "working…" forever. If the PowerShell host on your PC
cannot start — wedged, blocked by policy, or simply out of room to run another one — SysManager now gives up
after a minute and tells you, instead of waiting for something that is never going to answer.
Fixed
- A stuck PowerShell host no longer freezes the tab that needed it. Windows Update, System Health and
System Fixes all start a PowerShell session when you run them as administrator. Starting one had no time
limit, so if it never finished starting, the tab stayed busy — and because Cancel and Refresh are only
enabled when a tab is not busy, there was nothing left to press. It now fails the same way it already did
when PowerShell is missing entirely, which is a message rather than a spinner.
Added
- A test that a PowerShell session which never starts is abandoned rather than waited on. It uses a
stand-in that deliberately never finishes, so the check is instant and cannot become flaky.
Verify the download
Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.78.1.exe -Algorithm SHA256
Expected SHA256: A94E88C9E8010DDC568EAAED2A68BF80463915A529A34C695810F4AF64C296D6
This build is not code-signed, so Windows will warn on first launch. That is
expected for a small independent app: see what the warning says and what to
click.
Code signing is planned through the SignPath Foundation,
which provides free certificates to open-source projects, with signing performed by
SignPath.io. Until then, the SHA256 above and the build
attestation below are what establish that a download is the genuine build.
Code signing policy
This release is not code-signed. The team roles, release-approval process and
privacy policy required by the SignPath Foundation programme
are documented in advance under Code signing
policy. That
documentation is a prerequisite for applying, not evidence of a certificate. The
attribution line naming SignPath as the signing provider will appear here once a
certificate is actually issued.
This program will not transfer any information to other networked systems unless
specifically requested by the user or the person installing or operating it. Full
privacy policy.
Verify where this binary came from
This exe was built by GitHub Actions from this public source, and the build is
recorded in the Sigstore public transparency log. With the
GitHub CLI:
gh attestation verify .\SysManager-v1.78.1.exe --repo laurentiu021/SystemManager
That proves which commit and workflow produced this exact binary, something the
SHA256 file cannot show, since it is published alongside the exe it describes.
Each release also ships SysManager-v1.78.1.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
