MAUS-0.7.6 alpha

Older version / Ancienne version. The latest release is 0.8.1: https://github.com/TERMINATORmdel101/MAUS/releases/latest (or winget upgrade TERMINATORmdel101.MAUS). La dernière version est la 0.8.1.

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-0.7.6-installation.exe (installs to Program Files, .NET included, uninstall from Settings > Apps).

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 0.7.5

Bug fixes and stability.

• Responsive frame counter (monitoring window and in-game overlay), measured with a test window at fixed frame rates (60, then 200, then 90, a pause, then 60):
  • the big number is now the last second ("Right now"), with the ten-second average next to it. A change of frame rate is followed in 1 to 2 seconds instead of about ten;
  • refreshed twice a second; first figure 1.3 s after the game starts (3 s before); 1 % lows only from 100 frames;
  • after a pause (menu, minimized window, loading screen), the frame that contains the pause no longer distorts the result (it showed 7 FPS instead of 60 when the game resumed);
  • a closed or paused game is no longer shown with its last figure: back to "waiting for a game" after 3 seconds without frames;
  • Windows delivers frames to PresentMon in batches of about one second: that is the minimum delay.
• Closing the monitoring window during a measurement froze MAUS for up to 8 seconds. It now closes instantly, and no PresentMon process or Windows trace session is left behind, even when MAUS itself is closed during a measurement.
• Benchmark: a graphics driver crash is recognized and explained (results already measured are kept) instead of the benchmark stopping without a message.
• Stability: an unexpected error behind a button is logged and explained, but no longer closes MAUS.
• More accurate findings: NVMe SSDs whose health log is read are no longer reported as "not sharing reliability counters"; startup entries whose program was deleted show "program not found".
