SysManager 1.75.8

[1.75.8] - 2026-08-28

The Services tab now explains what each service does. Most of those descriptions were showing as a
file path like @%SystemRoot%\system32\spoolsv.exe,-2 instead of a sentence, which also meant
searching for a word in a description could not find it.

Fixed

• Service descriptions read as sentences instead of file paths. Windows almost never stores a
  service's description as text. It stores a pointer into the program that owns the service, and the
  sentence lives inside that file so one copy of Windows can show it in any language. SysManager was
  showing the pointer. On a standard Windows 11 install that is 404 of the 461 services that have a
  description at all, so the column that is supposed to tell you whether something is safe to turn off
  was showing you @%SystemRoot%\system32\spoolsv.exe,-2. It now follows the pointer and shows what
  Windows itself shows: "This service spools print jobs and handles interaction with the printer."
  Search improved with it, since the search box looks at the description too — typing "print" could
  never match the Print Spooler while its description was a path. The few descriptions Windows already
  stores as plain text are untouched, and the handful that cannot be resolved now show nothing rather
  than the raw pointer.

Verify the download

Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.75.8.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Expected SHA256: 5A6C6F2F27582B93AB9EFADC641C4D470495FF29B7EA14A5B848D6712F6733C8

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-v1.75.8.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-v1.75.8.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
