System Examiner

Some users are more in tune with their system than others, and that sounds about right. Not all users are interested to know every detail about the software and hardware of their system, but when push comes to shove, you've got to know a little bit of stuff to troubleshoot an issue.

You never know when some problem might crop up, which is why System Examiner might be a good software proposition to try out. It scans your system to generate a report on the software and hardware of your computer, which can then be shared with anyone looking to help you.

Perhaps you are familiar with some of the popular ways to find out information about your system: whether it be dxdiag, looking through My Computer, or accessing the Task Manager, some data can be revealed with little effort involved. That kind of information is scattered, however, which is something this tool seeks to address.

Upon analyzing your system to create a report, an .html file containing your system data will be generated. A system summary will be presented first, which provides some basic data about your system's processor, memory, OS, uptime, resolution, and so on. More in-depth data resides just below, which can be of use to those looking to troubleshoot an issue, or are merely curious to find out more about their machine.

Besides just scanning for information, the tool will also run a few tests to determine if your machine is up to par. Anything irregular will be displayed as a warning or error, depending on the severity.

Scrolling further down will offer you information on the software aspect of your computer. A list of your installed apps, the ones that are currently running, as well as what programs automatically start upon OS boot-up can be found near the bottom of the report. In the same area, you'll also find any hotfixes you've installed for your OS, which can greatly help when you're looking to troubleshoot a problem.

System Examiner is a straightforward piece of software, which can be utilized to help users find out more information about their machine. Being able to share the reports can be of aid, particularly when you've got someone trying to help you fix a computer issue.
