On the System Optimizer screen, the checks on the left are not clickable, the checks in the upper right may or may not be clickable, the checks at the bottom are toggles and don’t get applied until the checks on the upper right is clicked … if and when when the checks on the upper right is actually clickable – follow?
In System Optimizer, the checkbox in the bottom set the option to pending state, that is not applied until you click the Apply button above, the green check-mark in the right shows the status of the option whether optimized or not.
There’s an icon of sorts with three lines, and below that, there’s an icon of sorts with three dots, both of which open settings of some sort, some settings are the same in each, some settings are unique to each – follow?
The button of the three lines shows a menu of general app options like opening main settings window, About, Check for Updates. The button with three dots show a menu of options specific to the currently opened section and it may act like a shortcut. For example in My Games, clicking Settings from the three dots button takes you straight to My Games settings, instead of opening Settings from the three lines button and navigating to My Games settings tab.
System Diagnostics does not actually diagnose anything, it merely reports ( WMI Windows Management Instrumentation dump ? ).
As you know WMI is a mess and needs advanced users to deal with, yet it contains useful software and hardware information that Game Fire retrieve in organized manner. plus Game Fire gathers additional information directly from the system and from DirectX diagnostic app.
In the Process Optimizer, click on the Description column heading to sort, or click on the Publisher column heading to sort, and tell us if it crashes for you, too … I got “unhandled exception”, “Object reference not set to an instance of an object”, then the user interface crashes, though the tray icon stays, and we can open the user interface again from the tray icon.
Thanks for reporting this, I can reproduce the error myself. that is because the tray app is running as separate process GFTray.exe
