What it actually checks

Real Windows APIs, not screenshots from a blog post. Every finding maps to a concrete setting, registry key, or service you can inspect yourself.

Firewall

Profiles enabled, inbound rules, dangerous allow-listings.

Windows Update

Pending patches, missing security updates, reboot status.

User Accounts

Local admins, password policy, guest account, stale users.

Services

Unsigned services, suspicious auto-starts, weak permissions.

Network Exposure

Open listening ports, SMB exposure, RDP hardening.

Defender

Real-time protection, signature freshness, exclusions audit.

Scheduled Tasks

SYSTEM-level tasks, unsigned binaries, suspicious triggers.

Registry Hardening

UAC, LSA protections, NTLM, AutoRun, telemetry baselines.

+ 5 more modules

Drivers, startup, processes, shares, audit policy.

Install in one line

WinSentinel ships as a .NET global tool. It requires the .NET 8 runtime, which is already on most Windows dev machines - otherwise grab it from microsoft.com/dotnet.

  • • 100% local - no cloud, no telemetry, no account.
  • • Local-only AI advisor - optional Ollama (llama3) for natural-language Q&A. Never calls a cloud LLM.
  • • Open source on GitHub (MIT).
  • • Works on Windows 10, 11, and Server 2019+.
