Pakua SysManager 1.136.120

[1.136.120] - 2026-11-06
On Windows Update, Cancel stops a check for updates and a download straight away, and an install in progress finishes before the rest is left.
Fixed
- Cancel and Escape did nothing while Windows Update searched for updates, which can take minutes. They took effect
only once the search had returned, and its result was thrown away. During an install, Cancel waited until the
update being downloaded and installed was done, which for a cumulative update or a feature upgrade can be tens of
minutes. The search and the download now stop when you cancel. On my PC, a check that takes about 35 seconds ended
under a second after Cancel. An update that is installing is left to finish, because one stopped part way can be
left half applied. The console says so, and nothing after it starts. Since the tab started reading Windows Update
directly, in 1.18.0.
Verify the download
Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.136.120.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-v1.136.120.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-v1.136.120.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
