- The page says it can inspect without admin permission; changes require approval, and pressing Q triggers a leftover check.
Field notes
The homepage lays out a three-step flow: plug in and start, describe the fault, then approve or reject a proposed change. It says Windows may request admin access for repairs, while inspection can proceed without it. The listed toolkit includes system and crash-analysis utilities, and the page says pressing Q checks for leftovers before unplugging.
