SysManager 1.75.13

[1.75.13] - 2026-08-28

SysManager runs PowerShell behind the scenes for some features, and that engine has its own usage
reporting built in by Microsoft. It is now switched off. SysManager itself never sent anything, but the
engine it borrows could have.

Fixed

• The PowerShell engine SysManager uses no longer has its usage reporting enabled. Several features
  work by running PowerShell, and rather than launching a separate window SysManager loads the PowerShell
  engine inside itself. That engine ships with Microsoft's own usage-reporting component, which is turned
  off by a single switch — and SysManager was not setting it. Nothing of yours was being collected by
  SysManager, which has never had anything to send it to, but the borrowed engine could have reported its
  own activity. The switch is now set before any PowerShell session starts, for this program only, so your
  saved Windows settings are untouched. A test checks it stays set, and the privacy section of SECURITY.md
  now names the dependency instead of only speaking for code written here.

Verify the download

Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.75.13.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Expected SHA256: B4EEAA1C71BE88A188265D0A4E1EF8874620B5A51EE604430FC765218E0621FF

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. 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-v1.75.13.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-v1.75.13.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
