Quickly Gather Windows Software and Hardware Information with Portable AnalyzSys

Detailed information on Windows software and hardware are very handy for troubleshooting problems. There are a number of tools that provide such details. But in my knowledge no other tools can give the information as fast as AnalyzSys. It is a portable software from Machinescript Inc., the developer of Prohash. According to the developer,

This utility's purpose is to give detailed information about your system, helping you in diagnosing problems with Microsoft® Windows®.

The scanning time it very less. In my system it took 3.1 sec on first scan and took even less on the subsequent scans.

• By going to File > Export Analysis, the log file can be saved as a text file as analyzsys_export.log. If a previous log with same name is already present in the location, it will replace the previous log.

My Verdict

Although I like the software for its fast, accurate scanning, I dislike automatically started scanning upon software launch. I recommend the software anyway.
