MAUS-0.6.2 alpha

MAUS (Maintenance · Audit · Updates · Security) is a free, open-source (GPL-3.0) Windows 11 utility: a read-only audit first, then fixes chosen by the user, each one explained and reversible. MAUS is designed and coded with Claude, an AI by Anthropic, under the direction of its author.

This is an alpha version in active development: some features may be incomplete and bugs may occur.

Download: MAUS-0.6.2-installation.exe (installs to Program Files, .NET included, uninstall from Settings > Apps).
SHA-256: 77b4a1e9c798a1c95e172eeb80338e642cabb4b7970486bf7661e037d8a913a3

Not signed: this installer has no code signature yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning ("More info", then "Run anyway"). Our application for free signing by the SignPath Foundation was declined for now (the project is still too new); we will apply again later.

What's new since 0.5.2

• New look: simpler home page that offers to fix right after the audit, findings sorted by importance (the rest on demand), lighter Fixes page, clearly separated sections, pastel colours in light and dark themes.
• "Fix" button on findings, one card per topic, web links as buttons, before/after health score, summary before applying, fixes grouped by module, first-launch welcome card.
• Frame-rate counter (monitor window): average, slowest 1% and 0.1%, graphics card busy share (Intel's "GPU Busy" method), screen refresh rate, and what is limiting the frame rate. Can be shown over the game (click-through window, nothing injected into the game), with adjustable size, opacity and corner.
• Game recording now includes frame rates, measured by Intel PresentMon (MIT licence), shipped with MAUS and only launched if its file matches Intel's signed release.
• Driver latency (Workshop > Tests): names the drivers that hold the processor longest (audio crackles, micro-stutter), from the Windows kernel trace, read-only. Administrator rights required.
• NVMe SSD health: spare capacity and the manufacturer's threshold, warnings declared by the drive, wear, errors.
• Common beliefs MAUS does not follow, each with its Microsoft source.
• Reliability fixes from 0.5.3: dates and numbers in the chosen language, CSV in Windows' regional format, crash safety net on every thread, a single MAUS at a time, settings and journal files never overwritten after a failed read.
