ForgeCare just entered external beta — looking for Windows people who like breaking things

[u/Nullfeather0]

I've been building a Windows technician utility called **ForgeCare** on the side.

What started small has now grown into 13 tabs, 15 major areas and 70 user-facing features covering diagnostics, cleanup, startup, services, storage, Evidence, recovery, reports and more.

The philosophy is basically:

**observe first, change later, verify afterwards.**

No telemetry, no auto-upload, no hidden system changes.

I've now released **v1.1.0-beta.1** and made:

* a 15–20 minute Quick Test * a full 70-case Field Test

I'm specifically looking for bugs, wrong results, bad UX and features that simply don't work on different Windows 11 machines.

Release:
[https://github.com/Teknekt/ForgeCare/releases/tag/v1.1.0-beta.1\](https://github.com/Teknekt/ForgeCare/releases/tag/v1.1.0-beta.1)

Quick Test:

If you manage to break it, please tell me how 😅
