⚠️ The graphics card overheats. (92°C)

The reached temperature (92°C) is a bit high.

The diagnostic could not identify if this negatively impacts the graphics card's performance.
Either the temperature is not high enough to impact performance, or UserDiag does not yet have enough diagnostics containing this graphics card model to determine it accurately.

➡️ The installed Nvidia graphics driver can be updated. (388.13 -> 566.36)

You can download the update from the Nvidia website.

⚠️ Windows 10 version Inconnu is no longer supported by Microsoft and has vulnerabilities.

For your security, update Windows 10 to the latest version 22H2:

- Via Windows Update. (if available)
- Or via the Windows 10 Update Assistant. (the tool will update Windows without affecting your personal files)

Or if you wish, you can install Windows 11 properly with this tutorial.

💔 Some discouraged practices have been identified
Software / tools not recommended : CCleaner

Here are the details of the identified bad practices:

Software / tools not recommended :
- The optimization software CCleaner claims to improve performance.
It modifies Windows settings, "cleans" the registry, deletes files, etc.
Depending on the options used in such software, they can create problems.
For registry cleaning, it is a myth; the registry does not need to be cleaned.
If they have a paid version, their goal is to make you buy it.
They are not actually useful, and you can simply uninstall these programs.
You can watch this video to learn more about best practices.

What to do about these bad practices? :
- If everything is working fine, no worries!
You can simply uninstall the concerned software and/or set a proper power plan if it has been modified.
Just keep in mind for next time that it's not ideal to use such software.
If you still have issues or if you prefer, you can always reinstall Windows properly via this tutorial.

Version >VersionThe BIOS version and date help identify the currently installed BIOS version on the machine.

Notes:
- Sometimes, the retrieved BIOS version may slightly differ from the one displayed on the manufacturer's website.
Example: With an MSI BIOS, the retrieved version might be '2.B0' while on the website, the version is listed as '7D22v2B'.

- The retrieved BIOS date may also slightly differ by a few days/months from the one displayed on the manufacturer's website.
Example: With an MSI BIOS, the retrieved date is 26/01/2024, while on the website, the date is 07/01/2023.
Here, the date on the website corresponds to the upload date, while the retrieved date is the BIOS creation date.

Boot mode >Boot modeBoot mode of the computer:
- Legacy (old mode)
- UEFI (recent mode)
UEFI

TPM >TPMThe TPM is a component (physical module on the motherboard or emulated by the processor) that allows secure storage of information.

Specifically, it can store encryption keys, certificates, biometric data, etc.

For example, it is used to encrypt storage with BitLocker or unlock the computer with Windows Hello.

Some anti-cheat software for video games can also use it to confirm the integrity of the game and the system.
Unknown state

Secure Boot >Secure BootThis is a security option available in the BIOS.
Secure Boot ensures that the computer boots only with a verified operating system.

This setting may be required by some game anti-cheats (Valorant, FIFA).
Inactive

Boot duration >Boot durationBoot duration is the time elapsed between pressing the power button and the motherboard returning POST OK (successful hardware check).

This can be useful for identifying a slow boot issue.
(long memory training in DDR5, for example).

A boot duration of around ten seconds is normal.

Note that this period occurs before Windows starts.
Applications that launch at Windows startup do not affect this duration.

Fast startup >Fast startupWindows Fast startup allows older computers to boot faster.

Sometimes this mode (enabled by default) can be the source of issues such as LEDs staying on, or crashes at startup with incompatible drivers.
Inactive

Uptime >UptimeUptime is the time elapsed since the last Windows startup.
This information can be useful to determine how long it has been since Windows was last restarted.

Note that if Fast Startup is enabled in Windows settings, shutting down the computer will actually put it into a hibernation state.

Therefore, Windows only fully shuts down during a restart.
(by clicking on restart and not on shutdown)

As a result, you may sometimes observe high uptimes of several days, even if the computer is regularly shut down and turned on.

However, if Fast Startup is disabled, the computer will fully shut down during shutdown, and the uptime will be reset with each startup.
N/A

VBS >VBSVirtualization-Based Security (VBS) is a security feature in Windows.

Its purpose is to protect certain parts of Windows by isolating them from the rest. It may be enabled by default on compatible Windows 11 installations.

It can also be activated if core integrity in Windows Defender is enabled, when using WSL2, or other virtual machine-related features.

However, this feature may slightly reduce performance when enabled.
This option only protects against certain complex vulnerabilities. It will not protect you from a cryptocurrency miner or password theft, etc.

Microsoft advises gamers, if they wish, to disable this option. (More information)
Inactive

Antivirus >AntivirusCurrently active antivirus on your computer.

Ideally, it is better to use something like Windows Defender, which is relatively effective and already integrated by default in Windows, or use a third-party antivirus of your choice.

However, it is advisable to avoid less recommended antiviruses like Avast, Norton, McAfee, Iobit, etc., which are known for collecting your personal data rather than protecting you.

Power plan >Utilisation normale

Base frequency >3.50 GHz

Frequencies min/max >0.80 GHz / 3.90 GHz

PL2 / PL1 >PL2 / PL1Power Limits allow limiting the processor's power consumption to reduce the generated heat.
Example image (anandtech.com)

When these limits are reached, the processor will reduce its frequency to stay within the limit.

The purpose is to allow the processor to operate at a certain power level for a short period, then limit it a few seconds later.

Power Limit 2 (PL2) is the maximum power the processor can consume for a short period (a few tens of seconds).

Power Limit 1 (PL1) is the same but kicks in once the PL2 duration has elapsed.

By default, these are values recommended by the processor manufacturer and chosen by the motherboard manufacturer.

A value above 4000 W is not a bug, it means the power limit is disabled.
(Value too high to be reached, so it never applies)
