ASL PC Steward

Native Windows · Local-first diagnostics

A clearer picture.
A calmer PC.

Find what deserves attention—and understand why. Steward turns Windows performance and configuration evidence into specific, plain-language explanations, without changing your PC during a scan.

From symptoms to specifics

Know where to look next.

01 / EXPLAIN

Open any issue

Expand a finding to see what it means, exact scan evidence, severity, confidence, limitations, and a specific next step. No unexplained warning badges.

02 / OBSERVE

Monitor when you need it

Start Active Monitor from the top of Overview. Choose a target interval from 2 to 60 seconds. Slow sources are bounded; scans never overlap. The monitor remains off on launch.

03 / INVESTIGATE

See the whole background

Review grouped processes, Windows sessions, scheduled tasks, startup entries, running services, storage, shares, and reported antivirus registrations in one app.

04 / DISTINGUISH

Understand your drives

Separate local disks from removable, mapped-network, and virtual or cloud volumes. Review cleanup locations without deleting their contents.

05 / COMPARE

Look beyond one sample

Review seven days of locally stored health samples, CPU and memory trends, and a sanitized 14-day reliability view. Collection gaps remain visible.

06 / SHARE DELIBERATELY

Keep control of reports

Export JSON or a support ZIP with an inclusion notice and integrity manifest. Identifying details are minimized by default; review every file before sharing it.

07 / CONNECT BY CHOICE

Your computers, one fleet view

Connect to your own HTTPS rbroker server to see reported machines, GPU lease purposes, Parallel progress, and project activity. Manual refresh starts as the default. The native viewer keeps its key in memory and cannot control remote workloads.

08 / TEMPERATURES

Read what your hardware exposes

See supported temperature, fan and power readings with explicit source and access limits. Optional NVIDIA full-speed fan boost lasts up to 60 seconds with administrator approval; automatic-policy restoration is checked. Missing readings never mean zero.

09 / CLEAN WITH CONSENT

Preview before permanent removal

Safe Cleanup is separate from scanning: approve eligible aged current-user Temp and CrashDumps files only. Runs are bounded and skip changed, linked or locked files. Optional automation starts off and stops when Steward closes. Removal has no undo.

10 / CONTROL SEPARATELY

Pause new GPU admissions

A separate control key and node opt-in permit confirmed, expiring pause/resume requests through your coordinator. Existing leases, heartbeats, running jobs and Parallel workers are untouched. Server acceptance is not proof of node application.

A deliberately narrow repair boundary

You stay in charge.

The candidate can request a selected scheduled-task change, sign out a disconnected session, or perform a supported bounded NVIDIA cooling action. Each shows its target and requests Windows administrator approval. Protected platform and ASL tasks are excluded.

Security-vendor components are review-only. Missing antivirus registration is not proof that a component is safe to stop. Steward does not replace antivirus, a backup, or a technician.

Useful on its own

No ASL broker required.

Most features use built-in Windows information. NVIDIA telemetry appears when compatible tools are present. ASL users can see read-only local GPU broker and independent Parallel CPU worker health, version, job counts and shared limit. Old or unavailable worker reports are explained separately; scanning does not acquire leases, read ownership journals or control another workload.

Current network diagnostics cover local adapter configuration, IPv4, DNS, and a gateway ping—not a complete IPv6, Wi-Fi-driver, or internet reliability test.
