Shkarko SysManager 1.69.0

[1.69.0] - 2026-08-25
Two more of the tabs that change your PC now take a Windows restore point first: Debloater & Ads and
Privacy & Telemetry. That was the whole point of the shared restore point added in 1.68.0 — the same
protection whichever page you happen to open — and these were the two doors still left without it.
Debloater says plainly what a restore point can and cannot undo, because it cannot bring removed
Store apps back and pretending otherwise would be worse than saying nothing.
Added
- Debloater & Ads takes a restore point before the first removal. The wording is deliberately
careful: System Restore does not restore removed Store apps, so reinstalling from the Microsoft
Store is still the real way back, and that comes first in the message. The point is described as
covering the rest of the system, which is what it actually does.
- Privacy & Telemetry takes one before Apply, the same point Tweaks Hub already took for the
identical registry writes. Reaching a toggle from one tab or the other now gives the same answer.
Changed
- The restore point is attempted after you confirm, not before, so declining a change no longer
spends the one point Windows grants per day.
- Still only ever mentioned when a point was actually created. The progress text no longer announces
the attempt either: saying "creating a restore point" and then failing — the common case, since
System Restore ships switched off on many PCs — left you believing in a snapshot you did not have.
Verify the download
Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.69.0.exe -Algorithm SHA256
Expected SHA256: 1659B5501EF4A179039E6445775ED243A2FD2E2A7E5B418FC56BF1FF2D9030D8
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-v1.69.0.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-v1.69.0.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
