Windows Maintenance Tool v4.3 – Release Notes

Highlights

• New left-nav “Release Downloads” button with live GitHub latest-release counts.
• Network/DNS UX polish: confirmations, readable dialogs, and clearer Wi‑Fi status prompts.
• Driver workflow upgrades: export button, GUI cleanup/review, guided restore with backup detection, ghost-device manager.
• System Health: SFC/DISM run in separate PowerShell windows; DISM Check offers RestoreHealth when needed; SSD Trim confirmation.
• Hosts/winget robustness: UTF‑8 winget output; hosts updater preserves ACLs and confirms restores.

Changes

• Downloads & Support: Left-nav Release Downloads (tooltip added); Support tab button removed. Popup shows total/per-asset counts via GitHub API.
• Network & DNS: Flush DNS / View Route Table now open in modal viewers; Restart Wi‑Fi reports Wi‑Fi/Ethernet status; Full Net Repair + DNS presets prompt first; DHCP reset and DoH on/off show completion/fail dialogs.
• System Health: SFC/DISM Restore launch elevated PowerShell consoles; DISM Check logs output, shows a result popup, and can launch RestoreHealth if repairable; SSD Trim prompts before running ReTrim.
• Hosts & Winget: Hosts update captures/restores ACL (adds Users read if missing), backs up to data\hosts_backups; Hosts restore now confirms and reports success; winget list/search run under PowerShell with UTF‑8 output to avoid garbled accents.
• Drivers: Export Drivers → data\Drivers_Backup_* with success/fail popup; Clean Old Drivers GUI with pre-export option, confirmation, auto-backup, and results; Restore Drivers scans .\data for backups, lets you pick/browse, validates INF presence, shows detailed success/error; Remove Ghost Devices now uses a GUI; driver policy toggles now confirm.
• Utilities & Cleanup: Fix Shortcuts shows updated/deleted counts; .NET RollForward set/reset confirm first; Restart Update Services prompts and reports success/fail; reusable text viewer for readable outputs (IP config, route table, etc.).
• Paths & Outputs: All exports/backups/logs centralized under .\data (firewall exports, driver backups/reports, hosts backups, route tables, SSD logs, driver exports).
