Smart Check

Find the settings that cost you frames

A 165 Hz monitor still running at 60 Hz. RAM rated for 6000 running at 4800. Nothing in Windows tells you, until you run Smart Check. It checks everything in seconds, explains why it matters and shows how to fix it safely.

How Smart Check works

  1. Check

    Reads your hardware and Windows settings and compares them with what your parts actually support.

  2. Explain

    Every finding gets a plain-language title, a severity and the reason it matters, plus a 0–100 health score.

  3. Fix Pro

    Step-by-step fixes for every finding, and one-click fixes for safe Windows settings, each with an undo.

Everything Smart Check looks at

Free shows you every finding. Pro shows you how to fix it.

Gaming performance

  • Monitor running below its maximum refresh rate One-click fix

    For example a 165 Hz monitor that Windows set to 60 Hz, which often happens after a new monitor, a new cable or a driver update. The picture is less smooth than your monitor can do, however high your FPS.

  • RAM slower than its rating (XMP / EXPO off) Guided fix

    Most RAM runs at a baseline speed until you enable its XMP (Intel) or EXPO (AMD) profile in the BIOS. Visor gives you the steps, but it will never touch the BIOS for you.

  • GPU on a narrower PCIe link than it supports Guided fix

    For example ×4 on a ×16 card, usually because it is in the wrong slot. Visor measures under load, because at idle cards slow their link down to save power, which is normal.

  • Power saver plan while gaming One-click fix

    Power saver caps your CPU. Switch to a plan that suits gaming, and back to your old one any time.

  • Windows Game Mode is off One-click fix

    Game Mode tells Windows to prioritize the game you're playing and hold back background work while you play.

Heat

  • CPU or GPU throttling from heat Guided fix

    When a chip hits its limit it slows itself down to stay safe, and your FPS drops mid-game. Visor flags it when it happens, with the usual causes and how to track them down.

  • Unusually high idle temperatures Guided fix

    Hot while doing nothing usually means dust, dried-out thermal paste, a fan that stopped, or a background program hogging the PC.

PC health

  • SSD nearly worn out, or reporting health warnings Guided fix

    Read from the drive's own SMART data, so you can back up what matters before it's too late.

  • Game drive almost full Guided fix

    A nearly full drive blocks game updates and slows an SSD down.

  • Laptop battery wear Advice

    How much capacity has been lost since new, and how many charge cycles so far.

  • Very old graphics driver Guided fix

    Based on the installed driver's age; new games often need newer drivers. Visor recommends updating from your GPU maker's website but doesn't install anything itself.

  • PawnIO not installed (fewer sensors) Always asks first

    Explains why it helps, and opens the official installer from pawnio.eu only if you agree. What is PawnIO?

Safety rules

Fixes, without the risk

One-click fixes are only for Windows settings that can always be switched back. For anything riskier, Visor gives you the steps and leaves the decision to you.

  • Only three one-click fixes: display refresh rate, power plan and Windows Game Mode
  • Each asks for confirmation first and comes with an undo to the previous value
  • No BIOS changes, no overclocking, no fan control, no voltage changes
  • No drivers or other software installed without asking

Smart Check questions

Is Smart Check free?

Yes. The free edition shows every Smart Check finding and your health score. Step-by-step and one-click fixes are part of Pro, a one-time US$2.99.

How do I check what refresh rate my monitor is running at?

In Windows 11, open Settings › System › Display › Advanced display and look at “Choose a refresh rate”. If a higher value is listed, pick the highest one. Visor shows the current rate next to your monitor's maximum at a glance, and warns you when it's lower.

Can Visor turn on XMP for me?

No, deliberately. XMP / EXPO is set in the BIOS, where a mistake can stop a PC from booting. Visor gives you safe steps to do it yourself.

How do I undo a one-click fix?

Every one-click fix has an undo button in the app that restores the value Visor recorded before the change. Because these are ordinary Windows settings, you can also change them back yourself in Settings.
