See how the Change Analysis Diagnostic tool can help users discover system changes on their computers (from updates, new software, and changed hardware) and resolve problems they may encounter due to these changes.
Change Analysis Diagnostic scans for six distinct categories of changes:
- Software Programs—installed applications, such as those listed in Add/Remove Programs
- Windows hotfixes and other OS updates
- Windows drivers and services
- ActiveX controls downloaded via Internet Explorer
- Browser Helper Objects (BHOs)—typically toolbars and other items that load with your browser
- Auto-Start Extensibility Points (ASEPs)—programs that start automatically without user action.
