Scan Dashboard

The main scan page with system illustration, driver statistics, and a one-click SCAN NOW button. A step indicator at the bottom guides users through the workflow: Scan Devices → Review Drivers → Install Updates.

After Scanning

After scanning, the dashboard displays the total number of installed drivers, outdated count, and error count at a glance.

Driver List

The Drivers tab shows all detected PnP drivers with per-device icons, version information, manufacturer details, progress bars, and Download / Install action buttons for each driver. Filter by All, Outdated, Errors, or Signed.

Windows Update

The Download tab checks for pending Windows updates using the Windows Update Agent COM API. Shows pending and recently installed updates with KB article, category, size, and severity.

System Information

Detailed hardware and software overview including OS version, CPU, memory usage, and disk storage — all collected via direct Windows API calls (kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll).
