+"Sysinternals tools not found"
+Solution: Use launcher Menu Option 5 to auto-download, or manually download from live.sysinternals.com
+

+Solution: Use launcher Menu Option 3, or run: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force
+
+"Access denied" / Permission errors
+Solution: Right-click launcher and choose "Run as administrator"
+
+Script crashes immediately on startup (v2.2 original only)
+Solution: ✅ FIXED - Use SystemTester.ps1 instead. Original had missing Initialize-Environment function.
+
+Tool verification (Menu Option 4) crashes
+Solution: ✅ FIXED - Use SystemTester.bat and SystemTester.ps1. Missing function has been added.
+
+AMD GPU not detected (multi-GPU systems)
+Solution: ✅ FIXED - Script now checks ALL registry subkeys (\0000, \0001, \0002, etc.), not just \0000.
+
+GPU-Z appears corrupted
+Solution: ✅ FIXED - Launcher now validates file size (should be >1MB). Re-download if size is too small.
+
+SMART test runs DISM/SFC instead
+Solution: ✅ FIXED - Incorrect code has been removed from SMART test function.
+
+Windows Update check fails
+Solution: Ensure Windows Update service is running; may require administrator rights
+
+GPU tests show "SKIPPED"
+Solution:
+
+For NVIDIA: Install latest drivers from nvidia.com
+For AMD: Install latest drivers from amd.com/support
+nvidia-smi is included with NVIDIA drivers
+Some GPU tests don't require special tools and should always work
+Note: AMD detection now properly checks all registry locations
+Tests taking too long
+Expected: Some tests are intentionally slow:
+
+CPU Performance: 10-30 seconds
+Power/Energy Report: 15-20 seconds (admin only)
+Windows Update Search: 30-90 seconds
+DISM/SFC Scans: 5-15 minutes each (admin only)
+DirectX Diagnostics (dxdiag): Up to 50 seconds
