What HyperBoostX Is

HyperBoostX is not a one-click miracle booster. It is a local-first Windows optimization and diagnostics workspace built around:

• diagnose first
• preview before apply
• user approval before mutating changes
• Safety Guard checks
• restore and undo visibility where supported
• redacted local reports
• hardware-aware recommendations
• safer gaming readiness workflows

Feature Surface

Metric	Count
Menus	73
Active buttons/actions	606
Partial/roadmap/guidance buttons in stable action map	0
Unique UI endpoints	167
Backend API route rules	365
Unique backend API paths	361
Guarded destructive buttons	21
Python tests	72 passed
.NET tests	39 passed

Installed runtime verification must confirm the feature registry exposes:

stable_visible_features = 73
stable_visible_buttons = 606
non_real_visible_in_stable = 0

Backend health/version alone is not enough for a stable gate.

Feature Overview

Area	Status	Boundary
Dashboard	Real	Local system overview, health, scan, and report access
One Click Boost	Real-safe	Preview, apply, undo visibility, and Safety Guard
Smart Scan / Advisor	Real	Local scan and recommendation workflow
Game Library / Profiles	Real-safe	Local profiles and gaming readiness
GPU Center	Real guidance	Vendor detection and driver guidance, not automatic driver install
Process Analyzer	Real	Heavy process visibility and protected process blocking
Startup Manager	Real-safe	Preview, apply, restore metadata
Cleanup	Real-safe	Preview/report flow without destructive user-file deletion by default
Network Tools	Real-safe	Diagnostics, ping, DNS preview/apply/restore
Power Optimization	Real-safe	Power-plan guidance with admin boundaries
Visual Effects	Real-safe	Supported visual settings preview/apply/restore
Security Health	Real	Defender, firewall, and update status visibility
Repair Tools	Real-safe	SFC/DISM/CHKDSK paths with explicit approval/admin gate
Restore / Rollback	Real-safe	Session metadata, export, rollback visibility
Reports / Logs	Real	JSON/TXT/MD export with redaction expectations
Beginner / Advanced / Expert	Real	More detail without bypassing Safety Guard
RGB Software Detector	Boundary-safe	Software/conflict detection, not full lighting control
Plugins	Boundary-safe	Local catalog/manifest validation only
License / Cloud	Boundary-safe	Local boundary state, not production cloud sync or license server

Safety Guard

HyperBoostX blocks dangerous or irreversible actions, including:

• forced Windows Defender disable
• permanent Windows Update disable
• anti-cheat process or service tweaks
• GPU, audio, or network driver service disable
• BIOS/UEFI changes
• overclock, undervolt, or voltage changes
• arbitrary shell execution
• destructive cleanup of user documents, downloads, desktop, pictures, videos, music, game saves, or system files
• protected process kill

Supported mutating flows follow:

Preview -> Explicit Approval -> Safety Check -> Apply -> Report -> Restore/Undo Visibility

Expert Mode exposes more details, but it does not bypass Safety Guard.

Honest Boundaries

Allowed claims:

• safe local optimization
• preview-first changes
• restoreable local actions where implemented
• hardware-aware recommendations
• local-first diagnosis
• gaming readiness checks
• redacted reports

Blocked claims:

• No guaranteed FPS increase
• No guaranteed ping or latency reduction
• No official NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Microsoft, MSI, ASUS, Corsair, or OEM partnership claim
• No anti-drop 100% claim
• No auto-fix everything claim
• No automatic latest driver installation claim
• No full RGB device lighting control claim
• No production cloud sync claim
• No production license server claim

Requirements

Requirement	Detail
OS	Windows 10 / Windows 11
Runtime	Packaged WPF app plus local backend
Backend host	127.0.0.1
Installer	Admin installer
Code signing	Unsigned unless owner supplies certificate/PFX
Network	Local backend only by default

Quick Start

1. Download HyperBoostXInstaller.exe from the v2.10.0 GitHub Release.
2. Verify SHA256 with Get-FileHash.
3. Run the installer as administrator.
4. Launch from Start Menu or the desktop shortcut.
5. Start with Dashboard -> Smart Scan -> Review Recommendations -> Preview -> Apply Approved Only.

Build And Test

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\build_stable_release.ps1
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\owner_admin_stable_gate.ps1 -ExpectedVersion 2.10.0 -BackendPort 5000
app\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pytest -q tests
dotnet test dotnet-tests\HyperBoostX.Tests\HyperBoostX.Tests.csproj -c Release

Minimum expected local test result:

• Python: 72 passed
• .NET: 39 passed

Stable installed gates must verify:

• /api/health
• /api/version
• /api/features/audit
• /api/features/stable-visible
• /api/features/non-real
• package includes wpf\Data\ui_action_map_v2_10.json
• public QA/runtime evidence is redacted

Privacy And Local Data

• Runtime data is stored under %LocalAppData%\HyperBoost X.
• Portable mode is supported through HYPERBOOSTX_PORTABLE_HOME.
• Reports and logs must redact API keys, AI keys, GitHub tokens, Discord tokens/webhooks, bearer tokens, local session tokens, Windows usernames, user-profile paths, sensitive local paths, and future license keys.
• Telemetry is off by default.
• No silent cloud telemetry is enabled.

Local Backend

Default base URL:

http://127.0.0.1:5000

Core endpoints:

• GET /api/health
• GET /api/version
• GET /api/release/readiness
• GET /api/features/audit
• GET /api/features/stable-visible
• GET /api/features/non-real

Mutating endpoints require X-HyperBoostX-Session when HYPERBOOSTX_SESSION_TOKEN is present.

Troubleshooting

Backend not responding:

Launch through HyperBoostX.exe so the launcher starts backend and WPF together.

Unauthorized local session:

Close HyperBoostX -> stop orphan backend -> relaunch from installed launcher.

SmartScreen warning:

This release is unsigned. Verify SHA256 before continuing.

Feature count mismatch:

stable_visible_features must be 73
stable_visible_buttons must be 606
non_real_visible_in_stable must be 0

If the count is 0, the installed runtime is not reading ui_action_map_v2_10.json correctly.
