The "winsat" command is not missing. This command "wmic path win32_VideoController get name" produces an actual results if that helps.

does your Windows registry have a key at "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinSAT" ?

matte22ladde commented 12 months ago

There's "WindowsExperienceIndexOemInfo" but it's empty.

nepnep39 commented 11 months ago

image is the key above it empty? (sorry for the wait)

matte22ladde commented 11 months ago

No, the key above, which was supposed to be "WindowsExperienceIndexOemInfo," which no longer exists after I reinstalled Windows 10, is not empty. There are four DWORD values. They are "CKCLStart", "WsSwapInterference", "WsSwapResult", and "WsSwapThroughput" whose data are "0", "2686992", "452608", and "452608," respectively.

there should be many more DWORDS, as well as three strings image it looks like it might be an issue with your windows install and/or the registry itself, which in that case is an issue i cannot fix if you want a quick band-aid fix, you could always create a new string subkey named PrimaryAdapterString and then set the value to your GPU model. really, you could put the name of any GPU you want here, lol

Running "winsat formal" now fixes the issue. Maybe it has something to do with the previous state before reinstalling Windows. Just write this off as a user error. Keep up the good work.
