Manager navigation moved to the top of the screen
Manager · All screens
Dashboard, Nodes, Symptoms, Monitoring, Commands and Settings are now fixed across the top, and every account shares the same menu instead of the per-account left menu. The dashboard restarts with six summary cards, so a layout you arranged earlier is not carried over. Reports are being rebuilt and are temporarily out of the menu; add the Report viewer from dashboard edit to keep using it.
Finding PCs behaving differently from usual
Nodes › Anomaly detection
Only PCs using noticeably more resources than usual are separated into Anomaly and Watch. Pick a PC and it shows which hour moved which metric from its usual value to what; click a cell in the 24-hour grid and you also see the programs that used the most resources at that hour. Usual behaviour is compared day-of-week to day-of-week, so PCs used differently on weekends no longer register as anomalies every time.
Commands sent automatically on a set schedule
Commands › Schedule
Set a rule of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly and the server sends it for you. Rules like the last day of the month or the last Friday work too, and public holidays can be skipped. The next five run dates appear right under the rule so you can check before saving.
Per-command retention for results
Commands › New command
A command that has to be kept for audit or reporting can be held on its own for up to ten years. Choose default, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, 3 years or 10 years, with the actual end date shown alongside. The overall period is set under Settings › System › Commands; shortening it deletes older records irreversibly, so it asks for confirmation first.
Seeing and disabling the startup programs that slow logon
Agent screen · Startup
The order programs ran at logon and how long each held things up appear as bars, with the slow ones marked. Expand a row and you can disable or enable it for logon right there. Previously this meant opening Task Manager or the registry.
Telling you whether this PC can be left as it is
Agent screen · Load
For a slow PC it judges whether it can be left as it is or needs attention. If it needs attention, tidying up programs comes first, and only the waiting left after that is turned into a minimum disk, memory or CPU upgrade. It judges from the busy hours of the last 14 days, and holds off when less than a day has been measured.
What a stalled program was waiting on
Symptoms › Symptom detail
Where one program hands work to another, the case of the provider dying first and the caller left waiting is now raised as a symptom. Situations like a login that simply never proceeds, with no visible error, fall under this. The detail is split into what happened, the evidence behind that reading, and what to do.
Opening PC details in a separate window for a second monitor
Nodes › Node list
Open in new window, from the button above the node detail or the right-click menu, opens the detail as its own browser window. One window per PC, with the user name and PC name in the title. Turn it on in the list's display settings and every click opens a new window.
Naming a program to find the PCs it is installed on
Commands · AI assistant
Ask the assistant by product name and it narrows down the PCs where that program is installed. The server knows the executable names of 146 products, and for anything else it searches the web on the spot and labels the result as a web estimate.
Dashboards split into tabs
Dashboard
Create tabs for different uses such as operations and reporting, drag to reorder, and rename or delete from the right-click menu. Pin to dashboard on the node, symptom and monitoring screens asks which tab to put the summary on.
How slow a PC is, expressed as time spent waiting
Load
Instead of an unbounded score, it measures the minutes the PC spent waiting. An hour caps at 60 and a day at 1,440, so PCs compare directly. The share used by Windows itself and the share that cannot be attributed to any one program are now included, so the same PC reads higher than before.
Why a PC is slow, split four ways
Node detail · Load
The bar divides into time waiting for a CPU turn, time waiting to reload from disk when memory ran short, time waiting for disk reads and writes, and the share spent on the same program starting and stopping repeatedly. A Windows services and drivers row is listed alongside, and you can step back a day at a time.
Disk and network in place of I/O in the program list
Monitoring › Processes
The single hard-to-read I/O column is replaced by disk and network, the actual usage. Every value is a per-PC average, with the heaviest single PC in brackets. No line is drawn for periods without records, so missing data is not read as zero.
Program rankings by per-PC average
Monitoring
Rankings come from the average per PC the program ran on rather than the total. Programs installed everywhere, such as antivirus, no longer sit at the top purely on installed count, and programs that are genuinely heavy on a few machines rise.
Online and offline state not matching reality
Agent
Two cases are fixed together: a PC that was on but listed offline, and a PC already disconnected but still shown online. The first came from the agent waiting on an unresponsive Windows session service (measured at 5 hours 4 minutes); the second from sleep or a network change (27 occurrences across 7 PCs over six days, the longest 15.4 hours).
PCs installed from the same image appearing as one row
Server
PCs that inherited the identifier baked into a disk image were overwriting one record in turn, with its name and IP changing constantly. The server now also compares each PC's own value and separates them. After the upgrade, each PC gets its own row once it authenticates again.
Automatic logout and duplicate-login prevention not working
Settings
Both security settings had stopped when the menu moved to the top in the previous update, and they work again. Nothing to do on your side; they follow the values you already set.
Searching straight to a settings item
Manager · Top search
Type into the magnifier at the top right and menus, settings tabs, settings items and in-screen tabs are listed by category. Choose one and it opens that screen and scrolls to the item. Each result shows its description and location beforehand.
Filters kept in the address so a link opens the same view
Manager · List screens
Search terms, periods, tabs and view modes on the node, symptom, monitoring, command and settings screens are held in the address. A refresh keeps them, and whoever opens the link sees the same view. Steps taken down through the symptom list are kept too, so the browser back button retraces them.
Virtual group management in a single edit dialog
Nodes › Virtual groups
Adding, renaming and deleting groups and moving PCs in and out, previously spread across a button, a right-click menu and a button under the list, are collected into one Edit virtual groups dialog. Changes apply together on Confirm and are all discarded on cancel.
Long-idle PCs by group and by period
Nodes › Long-idle nodes
Click a slice of the by-group or by-period chart to move to the list for that condition, and the dashboard summary numbers open the same lists. A 7 days or more option was added to the period selector, so the full set is shown on arrival.
OS, antivirus and agent versions counted by value
Nodes › Group detail
What used to read only as "N kinds mixed" now shows how many PCs hold each value, and clicking a value opens the list of just those PCs. OS install age and hardware age are grouped as under 1 year, 1-3, 3-5 and over 5 years, so old machines are visible at a glance.
Select all now selects only the searched PCs
Commands · Target selection
Narrow the list by search and Select all takes only the PCs on screen. Previously a search returning four PCs still selected every PC. Dragging across the list selects or clears several at once.
Same question, same answer from the assistant
AI assistant
Asking the same question about the same PC now examines the same items. Answers no longer alternate between a full table with evidence and a bare "checking". What cannot be confirmed is searched on the web first and then written plainly as unknown.
Assistant explanations matched to each symptom type
Symptoms › Detail · AI assistant
Analysis and explanation are now defined per frequent symptom type: forced termination, file sharing violation, dropped connections, blue screens. When data is missing it says so and moves on, instead of searching for absent data and never reaching an answer.
Instant answers on installed programs and antivirus
AI assistant
The assistant answers from data the server already holds, without going out to the PC, so there is no wait. Antivirus state is reported in plain words: on, off, and whether real-time protection is running.
Healthy connections raised as a symptom
Agent
A network connection delay symptom was appearing on connections that were not slow, sending administrators to inspect a healthy network. Connection time is now measured from the timestamp Windows records, so a busy agent reading it late no longer skews the value.
Process measurement moved to five minutes to ease the PC
Agent
Measuring every program every three minutes and writing to file each time became every five minutes, written once an hour. The values on screen and in Manager are unchanged.
User name and PC name entered during installation
Agent installation
User name, PC name and workgroup are entered during installation, and choosing restart automatically after install completes the rename in one pass. Bulk deployment can pass the installation drive as an argument, and the missing drive-selection dialog on PCs with recovery software is fixed.
Remote control relay blocked from reaching internal addresses
Server
The path from the relay into the server's internal addresses is closed. Normal traffic passes as before. Servers already installed pick this up on update.
