Hardware and System Information
The app reads processor, memory, storage, graphics, display, battery and sensor information, device status, start up entries and counts of error events from Windows, all locally, to measure and diagnose your PC.
Camera
Used only while the camera test window is open, to show the live picture so you can check the camera works. Nothing is recorded or saved, and the camera closes with the window.
Microphone
Used only when you start the microphone test. It records a few seconds to a temporary file in the app's own folder, measures the level, plays it back to you and deletes it straight away.
Administrator Rights
Only when you select Elevate, the app restarts with administrator rights after Windows asks you to allow it. This lets it read drive health data such as wear, power on hours and media errors. It changes no system settings.
Start With Windows
Off by default. If you switch it on in Settings, the app starts with Windows so health monitoring is ready. You can switch it off in the app or in Windows settings.
Network Access
Used only for the Microsoft Store licence check and to open the Store page or our website when you ask. The app sends no data to us.
