Sækja SysManager 1.66.0

[1.66.0] - 2026-08-24
Startup Manager now shows a hiding place it was missing. Windows has a "policy" startup list that Task
Manager does not display at all, which is exactly why unwanted software likes it — you turn off
everything you can see, restart, and the program starts anyway.
Added
- Startup Manager reads the policy startup list. Programs registered under Windows'
Policies\Explorer\Run key, for your account and for the whole machine, now appear in the list like
any other startup item, with the folder they came from shown as usual. Windows gives no way to switch
these off from an app, so each one says "Set by a system policy — managed elsewhere" instead of
offering a switch that would do nothing: if you try anyway, it tells you plainly rather than reporting
success and leaving the program to start again next time. On a PC with no such entries — most PCs —
nothing changes.
Verify the download
Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.66.0.exe -Algorithm SHA256
Expected SHA256: C2FC40E9E981E99B89E5A6F60F83141CEB6A17872664EA5EBD8ADCDF356FED77
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-v1.66.0.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-v1.66.0.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
