What is Sidebar Diagnostics?
Sidebar Diagnostics puts hardware readings beside your work instead of inside a separate monitoring window. It displays CPU, RAM, GPU, network and logical-drive information, with a clock at the top. Graphs let you follow metrics over time, while configurable alerts and hotkeys provide ways to watch values and control the sidebar.
The sidebar can sit on either side of the screen, with adjustable width, colors, fonts, opacity and interface scale. This entry links to the publisher’s version 3.6.3 Setup.exe installer. A separate standalone ZIP is available from the same release, but that build does not auto-update.
The publisher requires administrator privileges and lists .NET Framework 4.7.2 with Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. Softonic lists Windows 11, but the publisher’s supported-OS list does not confirm it; Windows 11 compatibility has not been independently verified here.
