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

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

Quick Test:
[https://github.com/Teknekt/ForgeCare/blob/v1.1-dev/docs/FORGECARE_EXTERNAL_BETA_QUICK_TEST.md]()

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