Replacement for Microsoft PC Health Check app

ReadySunValley

The "unofficial" replacement for Microsoft PC Health Check app 😀
(working on official)

Are you ready for Windows 11 aka Sun Valley update?

Features • Download • Credits

Generate detailed report why your PC isn't supported

Features

To determine if your current PC will be able to run Windows 11, you can check out this list of system specifications on Microsoft's website, or use its PC Health Check app. Unfortunately Microsoft removed temporarily this key tool people were using to see if they could update. This is where my replacement ReadySunValley app comes in.

Next to this it also features options for

• Generating a detailed report why your PC isn't supported
• Bypassing TPM/Secure boot restrictions
• Comparing your results with Microsoft requirements
• Grabbing a screenshot to directly share your results on social media!

Download

• (Get it from Microsoft Store) https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9PLQZ0W4FLQS
• (Latest release on GitHub) Download
• (Latest testing release on GitHub) Download

ReadySunValley does crash on ASUS Sabertooth X99 W10 x64 21H1

I have tried ReadySunValley on ASUS Sabertooth X99 machine (with no TPM v2.0 chipset plugged into the TPM-L 20-pin on board connector) and got a crash. See attached file.
WhyNotW11 tool does not crash on the same PC.
W11.Compatibility.Checker tool does not crash on the same PC.

Incorrectly detecting Secure Boot and TPM

Says unsupported for secure boot, and not present for TPM on a computer already running Windows 11 which I know has both, anything I can provide you to help fix this let me know

Localization support

Um 🤔

You need to provide credit.

If you're going to basically copy my code line for line you should probably credit me in your repo and application. Considering you've been releasing it on software websites without mention of my authorship. I'd be okay with a link to the original github added in your program.

TPM listed as not present, but it is

Windows 11 Version 22h2 (OS Build 22621.1413)
I have TRM enabled (v2), which I have confirmed in the BIOS and on Windows itself.

As this utility doesn't seem to think it's enabled, it won't let me continue without a registry hack to be applied, which I won't do as I have TPM 2 enabled on the system (otherwise W11 wouldn't have installed).

Computer specs:
11th Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz
16GB RAM
2047MB NVIDIA T500 Graphics
Dell Precision 3560 Laptop

Question: do I need a third-party app (WhyNotWin11)?

I warn you at once! I will communicate as a regular user (us 99%).
I downloaded your program yesterday. I ran it, and I see that my computer has DirectX 12. Then I clicked some button in your program. A new window opened and I see that my computer doesn't have DirectX 12. Question is your program itself does not know if it has DirectX 12 or not. And what should I believe, it seems your program does not work quite right. I will go on the internet to look for a better program than yours.

That's the kind of thing that will happen, and not just one. And this test is only on one computer. With more computers and their configurations there will be even more discrepancies.

P.S.:
I'm sorry, but I don't understand this sacred meaning, the integration of downloading a third-party application.

Accessibility Features are Missing

Hi there,

Very great idea on making such a program, considering that Microsoft discontinued their app, which was not so clear anyway.

The problem is that, visually impaired and/or blind ones like me, can't use the software due to its inaccessibility with NVDA.
You can find more info about NVDA on https://www.nvaccess.org/ - that's the free software most blind people use.

Is integration with NVDA or other screen readers planned?

Thanks.

Available memory may be incorrectly evaluated.

For me, a 128 GB partition with a little less than 64 GB free space shows up as a problem. However, I believe that Microsoft does not require the free space, but the total size with 64 GB. Also, when hovering the mouse over this problem, no further information is displayed.

Wrong SecureBoot detection

Disk partition -- wrong (I have 4 HDDs and system one IS GPT);
Secure Boot -- I think for now possibility must be marked for compatibility, not the current state.

ReadySunValley Hungarian translate

Hello,
I've created the Hungarian language file, I would like to offer.
Unfortunately, I don't understand the Pull request or the fork.
I hope you find it useful... :)

File (dxv), should not appear, next to the executable file

Please make it so that: the file (dxv), must appear, in the Temp folder. And after restarting the used file, the old version in the Temp folder must be replaced by the new file (dxv).

Not reporting disk partition correctly

Using version 0.52.1 x64, ReadySunValley reports;
Disk Partition MBR
My PC has 2 disks, the system disk is GPT and the second disk is MBR.

Not reporting correctly when more than one graphics card

Using version 0.52.1 x64, ReadySunValley reports;
DirectX 12
WDDM 1.3
This is not correct. My PC has two graphic cards.
The first card is not Windows 11 compliant but the second card is.
The program result seems to have taken DirectX version from second card and WDDM version from first card.

For first graphics card
DDI Version: 11.2
Feature Levels: 11_0,10_1,10_0,9_3,9_2,9_1

For second graphics
DDI Version: 12

Hello,
the check fails due to recognizing WDDM 1.3 instead of 3.0. However, the 3.0 driver is installed...

Storage check fails if HDD size is in TB

Hello! Thank you for the nice tool.

My system has 1.8 TB of hard disk.

In the MainWindow.cs, GetTotalFreeSpace(systemdrive) returns something like 1986661847040, and FormatBytes(systemfreespace) returns 1.8.

So,
if (systemspacedouble >= 64)
fails for TB. I think...

the Windows11 's new requirements

pc health check

you can see the main problem is the unsupported CPU but not the TPM.

and for the insider build 22000.194, after this version, Microsoft would not support the old CPU.

see: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2021/07/15/introducing-the-next-feature-update-to-windows-10-21h2/

"Disk Partition Type" check fails, if one drive is MBR formatted [not the main drive]

Hi,
thanks for this nice tool.

I came across a small issue. One non-GPT formatted drive causes the whole "Disk Partition Type" check to fail.

There are 4 SSDs inside my PC and one is indeed MBR formatted, but it is not the main drive, so ReadySunValley should not even check that, should it? From my understanding Win 11 check tools should only check the main drive (the one Windows is running on) or am I wrong?

1. Samsung SSD 970 Pro 1TB M2 (GPT formatted) [Win 10 / drive C]
2. Samsung SSD 960 EVO 1TB SATA (GPT formatted)
3. Samsung SSD 960 EVO 1TB SATA (GPT formatted)

Vulnerability-Disclosure with WhyNotWin11

Hi,

i think you should not include the above utility anymore to your app.
It is well known that it has a security leak. The developer has also made it known here and the topic when i mentioned it was immediately closed by the Github moderator, even though it is not fixed

I've opende an issue here rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11#460

You should at least point this out when downloading the app. i will definitely only use yours for now.

Thanks!
Edo

Drive detection

My Surface 5 Pro with micro SD card shows that the boot drive has MBR, this is incorrect.

SD card is drive D, the Windows and boot drive is C

When I remove the SD card, the result is correct. The test should ignore other drives besides the primary boot.

Storage fails test with 1.1TB free, app still says it's compatible

App v0.40.0

Wrong UEFI detection

I have GA-Z68XP-UD5 board with BIOS on it (not UEFI. I am trying to flash official UEFI but after succeful flash board were glitched and I rollback to BIOS (I am happy it does)).

As well there is typo in UI in Compare section for WhyNotWin11 app name - its missing.

Adding Status/Progressbar

maybe!?

Improved CPU Compatibility detection

check latest testing build #20 and give feedback

• moved all supported cpus (intel, amd, qualcomm) into one resource file
• maybe a milisecond faster detection Using StreamReader.ReadLine!?
• reference file generated in output dir of app (temp dir, localappdir?)

saying CPU is compatible when it isn't

App says computer is ready but it should be failing on CPU check:
