Virtual Windows Health Check

Catch a failing drive before it takes your files. Virtual Windows Health Check reads each drive's own health data and checks the whole PC, then tells you plainly what is fine, what to watch and what to fix. It only reads: no check changes a setting or a drive.

Already own Virtual Forensics Suite? You do not need this. This is the Windows health check that is built into Virtual Forensics Suite ($200), sold on its own for $75. Virtual Forensics Suite adds file recovery and forensics, plus two health-check extras that are not in this app: Memtest86+ boot-media creation and update checking.

What it checks

• Drive health (SMART) for HDD, SATA SSD and NVMe drives: a verdict with the reasons, a failure outlook, and power-on hours against the drive's design life.
• Storage: free space, TRIM, the chkdsk "dirty" flag, reliability counters and a graded disk / file-system event log.
• System: memory, uptime, pending reboot and Windows version.
• Security: antivirus, scan recency and threats, firewall, TPM, UAC, SmartScreen, Windows Update service and currency, BitLocker and Secure Boot.
• Hardware: WHEA errors, crashes, unexpected shutdowns, problem devices, the Windows Memory Diagnostic result, processor and virtualization, graphics adapters, and memory modules and speed.
• Recovery: System Restore, Windows Recovery Environment and backup.
• Performance: stopped services, top memory users and processes stuck burning a CPU core.
• Battery wear on laptops.

What's included

• A one-click Quick System Check, and CPU, GPU, VRAM and RAM load tests.
• History and trend, and tray alerts while the program is open.
• Reports as HTML, CSV or JSON.
• The vwhc command line, with fleet export and collection.

Requirements

Requires: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and an administrator account. Reading drive health, BitLocker and TPM needs administrator rights, so it installs for all users.

• Self-contained: the installer includes everything it needs, including smartctl (smartmontools).
• Works offline. The only network use is fleet reporting you choose to send.
• The installer is signed with our own (self-signed) certificate, so Windows shows Unknown Publisher on first run.

Free 7-day trial

Choose Free 7-day trial: every feature works for 7 days. After buying, send the computer code the app shows with your order number; you receive an unlock key for that computer that does not expire. If Windows is reinstalled or the system drive is replaced, the computer code changes and the key is reissued for the new code. Checkout asks you to sign in with your email (a one-time code, no password).
