SysManager 1.86.0

[1.86.0] - 2026-09-10

F5 now refreshes the tab you are looking at, on all forty tabs that have something to look at
again — the running processes, the startup entries, the event log, the installed apps, the drive
health. It is the most familiar shortcut in Windows and it did nothing anywhere in this app, on a
tool whose tabs are almost all "go and check again".

Added

• F5 re-reads the open tab. Each tab names its own refresh, so F5 runs exactly what that tab's
  own toolbar button runs — not a guess. Nothing that cleans, deletes, applies or uninstalls is
  reachable from a bare keypress, which is what makes a shortcut with no confirmation behind it
  reasonable at all.
• Pressing F5 during a refresh that is already running does nothing, rather than queueing a second
  one.
• F5 is ignored on a tab you have not opened yet, so the key cannot be what starts a scan on a tab
  that was never on screen.

Fixed

• The keyboard section of the README said Escape stops work on "sixteen" tabs. It is fifteen — the
  number was counted once and then drifted.

Verify the download

Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.86.0.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Expected SHA256: 6E46458D072A83639F67B9AB9B39AE9511FC018263942853F89FF323E1E80B29

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-v1.86.0.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-v1.86.0.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
