SysManager 1.65.14 download

[1.65.14] - 2026-08-18
Turning off a startup program could fail on a PC where nothing had ever been turned off before — which is
most PCs. That is fixed, along with two internal checks that were quietly passing when they should have
been failing.
Fixed
- "Disable" failed with a confusing error on a clean machine. Windows keeps the on/off state of startup
programs in a list it only creates the first time something is disabled — through this app, Task Manager,
or Settings. On a PC where that had never happened the list does not exist, and SysManager reported
"StartupApproved key not found" and refused, rather than creating the list the way Windows itself does.
So the feature failed on exactly the machines most likely to need it, for every kind of startup entry and
not only the 32-bit ones added in 1.65.10. The list is now created when it is missing. If the write is
genuinely refused — the all-users entries need administrator — the message now says that instead of
blaming a missing key.
Verify the download
Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.65.14.exe -Algorithm SHA256
Expected SHA256: D56FA73D362F789BC980FF612C67E64C81F904A801AAFEEB6880012B5AFC3337
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-v1.65.14.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-v1.65.14.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
