What is new in Viktor
Version by version: what was added, what changed and what got fixed. Newest first.
1.1.2 — 6 September 2026
Viktor downloads and installs a new version by himself. One click and he takes care of the rest.
New
- For companies there is now an MSI package — Viktor can be deployed in bulk through Intune, GPO or SCCM.
1.1.1 — 29 August 2026
Viktor can measure how many Viktors are already running out in the world. Until now only downloads were visible.
1.1.0 — 25 August 2026
Viktor finally sees Microsoft Store apps, can tell you how much memory they eat — and stopped being needlessly harsh on the score.
New
- Microsoft Store apps in the startup list. Spotify, Xbox and friends were not shown at all until now — on one machine that hid over 1.2 GB of memory.
- Memory in use, with a bar that shows what it is made of: the seven biggest programs plus the rest. Hover for the numbers.
- A permanent “Startup” button in the bottom row, and a “Check again” button — until now the only way to re-run the check was to restart Viktor.
Changed
- The score counts the HEALTH of the machine only, not its settings. Both used to be added together, so a healthy computer lost points over a tunable setting — for example −15 for eight startup programs.
- Startup programs moved to the Performance section and their button is now called “Tune”. A slower start is not a sick computer.
- Memory in use now sits on the left under the disks, so the bar is visible without scrolling. And it is coloured by how full the memory is — dark green on the left, amber and red towards the right.
Fixed
- The memory test no longer loses its “run” button once it has been run.
- The memory meter used to promise Disk Map on hover, where it does not lead. It stays quiet now.
- The help in five languages promised a different button than the app actually has.
1.0 — 18 July 2026
