The Checks of the applications count among them where a Scope takes none. - The title of a Scope with an umlaut reads as it is written: from the Published Definitions "Domäne" arrived as two other letters. - New: "Zeitdienst: Stand" - when the time service of Windows last synchronised and with what source, asked of Windows and shown, where the Report told the reader to type the query. Asked only: a Run does not set the clock. - A failed policy extension names its items and the policy each comes from. Where it has one, that is the one that fails. - "Freigabe am Server nicht gefunden" names the shares where the events name them, and says that Windows names none where they do not. 0.18.0 - A Run for one question. - New: -Scope narrows a Run to a named part of the Checks - Hardware, Network, SignIn, or Quick (everything but the two load tests). On an interactive Run the choice is offered in the "Umfang" card, with everything where Enter takes it. A Run without a Scope is the Run it always was. - A narrowed Run says so: one Finding names what it left out, the box at the top of the Report names the Scope, and a suspicion says what was not checked. - The Scopes are part of the Check Definitions and are published with them. - A Check that reads another says so where that one did not run: a .NET runtime nobody looked for is no longer "in order", and slow sign-ins say that nobody read which domain controller they went to. 0.17.1 - Titles that say what they count. - -Skip is kept for a Check that needs admin rights: "-Skip 'CPU stress test'" ran the stress test all the same, and the admin prompt came for Checks nobody wanted. - The two Findings about lost and failed connections to Servers are named for what they read: "Dateifreigaben: ...". "None" there never said anything about Remote Desktop. - Remote Desktop warns from ten dropped sessions to one server, and from twenty to all of them together; failed connections from ten together. - What Windows logs about the domain and the time in the first minutes after a start, before the network is up, is listed and not counted: no warning for being switched on. - Each domain controller is asked for the mapped paths themselves, and one that takes seconds to answer for a path it has is a Finding. - "Freigabe am Server nicht gefunden" says where the session came back. - "Langsamste Richtlinienerweiterungen" says how many runs were slow, when last, and whether somebody waited. One long run in the background is a note, no failure. - "Fehlgeschlagene Richtlinienerweiterungen" showed a server where the meaning of the error belongs. It says the meaning, when last, and through which domain controllers. - New: which Group Policy objects were applied to the computer and to the User, which were not and why, and how each component of policy ended - two Findings and two tables, from Windows' own result of policy. An object at one version in the directory and at another in SYSVOL warns. 0.17.0 - The domain, and each of its controllers. - New Check "Domain": the domain controllers DNS names, each measured by itself - LDAP, Kerberos, SMB, its clock, and whether it has SYSVOL and the folder the drives mapped by the domain's name go through. A share one controller has and another has not is a Finding: the drive that is slow on some days. Needs no admin rights. - The Report has an area "Domäne". What the domain logged and the age of the computer account's password stand there, no longer under the network. - The list of sign-ins says which controller the domain's name led to at each, and the sign-in Finding says so where the slow ones went to one and the quick ones to another. - "Freigabe am Server nicht gefunden" says which address answered, and how often. - What an adapter's driver logs while the machine starts is named as that in the network timeline, and "Adapter: Verbindung im Betrieb getrennt" counts only a link that went down while the machine ran. An adapter with power saving on warns where it did. - What a Finding means is a list, a statement to a line, and a copied Finding is laid out the same way. The Finding about the domain's log says only what applies. - A sign-in that is slow on some days and quick on others warns: two slow ones among the last ten are enough, and the Finding shows the phases of a slow one. Two quick sign-ins no longer make a problem disappear. - "Freigabe am Server nicht gefunden" is a Finding of its own. A server that answers "no such share" was counted as a lost connection and failed the machine; it is what a drive mapped by the domain's name logs when not every server behind it has the share. - A time in a table is written as German writes it: 12.10.2026, never 10/12/2026. - The status of a secure channel that did not come about has its meaning beside it. 0.16.0 - What takes time before the desktop. - "Anmeldung: Zeit bis zum Desktop": how long the User's sign-ins take, and where the time of the last one went - loading the profile, Group Policy, the other parts of Windows, the start of the shell and its own tasks. Needs no admin rights. - "Anmeldung: Autostart-Programme": Windows starts them one after the other, about thirty seconds apart. The Finding says when the last one starts; with twelve, that is six minutes after the sign-in. - Two tables: every sign-in with its phases, and the last one step by step. - The start duration says what the last start was spent on: the way to the desktop, the settling after it, and the time the machine stood at the sign-in screen. - Ping loss measured while the processor was busy is graded a step milder, and the Finding says how busy the machine was and to measure again: a machine at full load loses pings on a line that is in order. - Loss to the gateway is worded by what the machine hangs on. A desktop at a cable is no longer told about its Wi-Fi. 0.15.1 - A crash minutes after the drop. - A program on a share is held against a lost connection up to 30 minutes before its crash, no longer 10. The Finding says how long after the drop the crashes came and for how many the connection was already back, and what that means. - "Wechsel zwischen Kabel und WLAN": a cable connection that keeps failing over to Wi-Fi and back is a Finding, and the Lead about the connection then says so. - Warnings and errors of the adapters' own drivers stand in the network timeline, for any maker, with the adapter named. - Disk errors are three Findings under "Speicher": built-in drives, external drives (USB), and what names no drive. An unplugged stick no longer colours the answer about the SSD. A table lists every error with its drive. - DNS in one place: each DNS server asked by itself, and every event about DNS. - "Kein Domänencontroller erreichbar" with an internal error is the secure channel that comes about at the second attempt (Windows 11 24H2 and later against domain controllers before Server 2025): shown, explained, and no longer a warning. Beside it the age of the computer account's password, which warns where it is no longer renewed. 0.15.0 - More than file shares. - Remote Desktop: connections from this machine that never came about or were cut by the network, per server ("2 of 9"), each reason with the sentence Windows shows for it, and a server whose one name led to several addresses. Every connection of every account is listed with its time and length, to read the failures against. - What Windows logged of other protocols failing, one Finding each: sign-in to the domain (no domain controller, broken trust, Kerberos), DNS time-outs, time synchronisation, DHCP, wired 802.1X, TLS, Windows' own "no internet", and Windows' own VPN. A code always has its meaning beside it. - The clock is measured against its time source: a warning from one minute, a failure from five, where the domain refuses sign-ins. - What Windows says of the internet right now, and whether its own probe is off. - Web folders (WebDAV): where a drive is one, the state of the service, the largest file it takes and automatic proxy detection. - Every name DNS did not answer for is named, and Windows' message is kept whole. - "Fehlgeschlagene Verbindungen zu Servern" no longer says to remove what points at a server that exists and was only unreachable for a while.
