SystemIdleCheck Version History

By | 2022-07-22

This page contains the version history of SystemIdleCheck. Each entry explains what items were add/changed/removed for that particular release.

In the interest of security, I started giving SHA256 file hashes for both the ZIP and EXE files for the program as of version 1.0.0.8. If the hash of the file you have acquired does not match below, delete it; it’s most likely got some bad stuff in there. This site is the only place you can get pure, unadulterated copies of the program.

You can check the hash of the file using the PowerShell get-hash cmdlet. Or your favorite file hashing tool.

1.0.0.5

  • Initial public build and release.

1.0.0.6

  • Warning notice prior to logoff. The application will now pop up a warning message in the middle of the screen sixty (60) seconds before the user is logged off. To dismiss the warning, the user simply needs to move the mouse or press a key. The logoff will be aborted, and the idle timer will be reset.

1.0.0.7

  • Per request of end user, added move-to-top functionality for warning window. The warning will now pop up above everything else onscreen, even the screensaver.
  • Added Readme file to the archive, giving instructions, support options and warnings.
  • Added support forums

1.0.0.8
