Pakua SysManager 1.136.1

[1.136.1] - 2026-10-30
About no longer offers to replace a winget-installed copy's executable — it now points at
winget upgrade instead.
Fixed
- Download, Install and "Go back to the previous version" are refused on a copy winget's portable
installer manages (detected under WinGet\Packages or its WinGet\Links PATH shim), with the
update card naming winget upgrade laurentiu021.SysManager instead. About's own self-update
always replaced the exe in place, which left winget's own record of the installed version stale —
the next winget upgrade or winget uninstall of that package then refused with "the package has
been modified" until --force was added. The App Updates tab, the Dashboard's app-updates alert
and Update All Apps already excluded SysManager's own package and never used winget upgrade --all
(#2916, v1.130.29); this closes the second half of #2889, About's own update path.
Verify the download
Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.136.1.exe -Algorithm SHA256

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. Two checks
run on their own when SysManager starts: the version check against the GitHub Releases
API, at most once a day, and the Dashboard's app-updates alert, which asks winget. The
About tab can switch off either. Everything else that uses the network runs only when you
use 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-v1.136.1.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-v1.136.1.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
