LOCAL-FIRST WINDOWS PC INTELLIGENCE

KNOW YOUR PC.
FIX WHAT MATTERS.

Scan hardware and software, monitor supported performance signals, run repeatable benchmarks, and leave with an evidence-based health plan. PC Lab labels every provider and never invents missing telemetry.

The regular 0.48.12 release is available as a portable ZIP. Right-click the ZIP, choose Extract All, then open the PC-Lab-0.48.12 folder. The direct app is unsigned and Windows may show a reputation warning. Microsoft approved the 0.48.12.0 Store update, and publication is in progress; check the version offered on your device. Compare install options.

PC will not start?

PC Lab can measure a computer only after Windows starts reliably. If nothing powers on, fans run without a picture, POST fails, or Windows loops, identify that symptom before downloading or replacing parts.

Monitor stuck at 60 Hz?

Confirm the Windows mode, cable, port, monitor input, and game settings first. Then use PC Lab for repeatable performance evidence instead of treating refresh rate and frame rate as the same measurement.

PRODUCT VISUAL SYSTEM

BUILD YOUR HUD.
SEE REAL EVIDENCE.

The regular 0.48.12 release includes larger HUD text, aligned columns, FPS, frametime, and percentile lows. Its optional DirectX in-game HUD renderer remains a preview. The preceding renderer was observed on the owner's gaming PC in three games, including Black Myth: Wukong and Horizon Forbidden West in their fullscreen settings. This evidence does not establish compatibility with every game or exclusive presentation mode.

01 // COMPLETE SYSTEM VIEW

ONE WORKSPACE.
SIX JOBS DONE RIGHT.

PC Lab combines system inventory, hardware-shaped CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and motherboard views, fixed-scale monitoring charts, benchmarks, findings, and support-ready reporting without pretending every sensor or diagnosis is universally available.

01

Hardware and software inventory

Review Windows, processor, graphics, memory, storage, network, firmware, and installed-software evidence in one local workspace.

02

Attributed live monitoring

See CPU, GPU, memory, and uptime measurements with the provider named. Unsupported board sensors stay visibly unavailable.

03

Repeatable Bench Lab

Run controlled local workloads, keep baseline and comparison results separate, and avoid conclusions that the evidence cannot support.

04

Prioritized health plan

Turn findings into plain-language next steps ordered by safety and impact—without silently changing Windows settings.

05

Click-through overlay

Keep supported live metrics above a workload using an always-on-top companion window that does not inject into protected processes.

06

Privacy-safe reports

Export a support-ready report that identifies measurement providers and keeps unsupported readings out of the result.

02 // TRUST BOUNDARY

NO INVENTED
TELEMETRY.

PC Lab reports a reading only when a supported Windows or optional hardware-monitor provider returns attributable evidence. Missing temperature, fan, voltage, power, or clock data remains visibly unsupported.

Check the ZIP before opening it

Wait for the download to finish. In PowerShell, replace the example path below with the full path to your downloaded ZIP. Keep the path inside quotes.

Get-FileHash -LiteralPath 'C:\Users\YOUR-NAME\Downloads\YOUR-DOWNLOAD.zip' -Algorithm SHA256 | Format-List

Compare the Hash value with the SHA-256 published above for the exact release you downloaded. If they differ, do not open the file. Download it again from this product page; if it still differs, stop.

A matching checksum compares the file with the published reference. It does not establish publisher signing, malware safety or game compatibility. Keep Windows security enabled, then follow the current extraction instructions.

FOUNDATION FEATURES

  • Measures one selected game with external, checksum-verified PresentMon capture and keeps unsupported telemetry unknown.
  • Returns an evidence-bounded keep, configure, fix, upgrade, or retest decision.
  • Connects measured Game Test receipts to a candidate-specific Upgrade Plan without automating a purchase.
  • Compares before and after receipts only after game, resolution, quality, target, route, and condition checks.
  • Preserves local-only receipts, zero automatic uploads, no automatic game attachment, and zero hardware writes.
HAVING TROUBLE INSTALLING?

CHECK THESE FIRST

  1. Confirm the ZIP is 156,985,310 bytes and matches its checksum above.
  2. Extract all files only after Windows has finished downloading the ZIP.
  3. Close any earlier PC Lab instance, open the new extracted app, and confirm version 0.48.12 in Settings.
  4. If Windows warns about the publisher, verify the source and checksum—never disable antivirus or SmartScreen.
