What's new in our apps

Latest version 1.2 - in the Microsoft Store since 4 November 2026. What's new:

• Tabs across the top, like the NoPowerFix website
• Live views during the tests: every processor core, temperatures, disk speed, the memory test map and the graphics chip
• 3D sound test: a sound circles around you, then every speaker channel is played and named
• Speaker test music: our own track to find buzzing or rattling speakers at full volume, also circling around you in 3D
• "Our apps": our other free apps, each with a link to its Microsoft Store page
• Data recovery has moved into its own free app, NoPowerFix Data Recovery
• Fixes and polish

Latest version 0.3.1 - in the Microsoft Store since 4 November 2026. What's new:

• New app icon
• Opens maximized, filling the screen down to the taskbar, so the taskbar stays visible
• Tabs look like our website: the selected tab is orange
• New "Our apps" button: our other free tools, each with a link to its Microsoft Store page
• Boardviews whose part and net names start with a production-panel number (like "1%") now match the schematic
• More boards open cleanly: outlines that don't fit the board are left out, and zip files made on a Mac open
• Clearer messages for files the viewer can't open, including password-protected PDFs
• Fixed a crash in the power simulation with some resistor values
• Closing the app removes every file it unpacked from an archive, even during unpacking or when the files are read-only
• Safer archives: an archive that would unpack to gigabytes, or that needs a password, is not unpacked - you get a plain message instead
• A damaged, empty or half-copied file gets a plain message, and a boardview that is cut short says so
• Opening a second board while a schematic is still being read no longer stops the app
• Background helpers now close when the app is ended from Task Manager
• Panels work with the keyboard: Tab stays inside, Esc closes

Known issues - found by us, the fix is on its way:

• Closing the app in its first second can freeze the window for about 30 seconds before it closes. Fixed in the next update.

Latest version 1.0.1 - in the Microsoft Store since 4 November 2026. What's new:

• Fixed: good chip reads from many 2011-2015 Intel laptops were wrongly called "wrong chip size"
• Fixed: on many Insyde BIOS boards the settings store (NVRAM) could show as almost full when it wasn't
• Older BIOS without UEFI (and coreboot) now gets its own verdict instead of "not a system BIOS"
• Boards with two BIOS chips are recognised
• Fewer false alarms on compressed parts, older firmware volumes and maker data areas
• New look, matching nopowerfix.com, and an "Our apps" page with our other free tools
• Tested on 789 real chip reads from our repair bench

• A safe copy (image) of a failing device first - the device is only ever read
• Every recovered file is checked; damaged photos and videos get a repaired copy
