SysManager 1.56.9 download

[1.56.9] - 2026-08-04
Fixed
- Closing the window no longer hides the app without telling you. Pressing the window's X minimized SysManager to the notification area unconditionally, because the switch controlling that defaulted to on and was never exposed anywhere in the UI. The app looked closed while it kept running, with no notice and no way to change it. Closing now asks once whether to keep running in the notification area or exit, remembers the answer, and honours it silently afterwards. Choosing the notification area also shows a one-time note saying where the window went, so it no longer reads as a crash. The stored choice lives in %LocalAppData%\SysManager\close-preference.json; an unreadable or hand-edited file falls back to asking again rather than to an action the user never picked.
- "Export full report" now asks where to save. The About tab wrote the report straight to the Desktop, unlike every other export in the app (System Report, Logs, Resource History, and Profile all prompt). That silently failed where the Desktop is redirected to OneDrive or restricted by policy, with no way to pick another location. It now uses the same save dialog as its siblings and reports the chosen file name.

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.
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-v1.56.9.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-v1.56.9.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
