Understanding Your Computer's Health Report

What's in a Health Report?

When you run a Quickfix AI scan, you get a comprehensive overview of your system's health. But what do all those metrics mean? Let's break it down.

CPU Health

Your CPU (processor) is the brain of your computer. Key things to watch:

• Usage: Consistently high usage might indicate runaway processes
• Temperature: Should stay below 80°C under load
• Speed: If it's throttling, you might have cooling issues

Memory (RAM)

RAM is your computer's short-term memory. Issues to look for:

• Usage: If you're consistently above 80%, consider closing apps or upgrading
• Memory pressure: High pressure means your system is struggling

Storage

Your hard drive or SSD stores all your files. Watch for:

• Capacity: Keep at least 10-15% free for optimal performance
• Health: SSDs have a limited lifespan – Quickfix monitors this

Battery (Laptops)

Battery health degrades over time. Key metrics:

• Cycle count: Most batteries last 500-1000 cycles
• Maximum capacity: Below 80% means it might be time to replace

What to Fix First

Quickfix AI prioritizes issues by severity. Focus on critical issues first (in red), then warnings (yellow), and finally suggestions (blue).
