Integrity · SHA-256

Verify before you run.

Every release publishes its SHA-256 fingerprint. Match it once and you know the installer on your disk is byte-for-byte the build we published.

Hash your download · PowerShell

Get-FileHash "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\pulse-installer.exe" -Algorithm SHA256
  1. pulse-installer.exe

    Download the installer

    Grab pulse-installer.exe with the button above — the stable link always points at the latest build.

  2. Get-FileHash

    Hash your copy

    Open PowerShell and run the one-liner. Windows computes the SHA-256 fingerprint of the file you actually downloaded.

  3. Hashes match

    Compare every character

    The result must match the published hash exactly. If it doesn't, delete the file and download it again.

Unsigned · for now

Why Windows may warn you.

Optimizers that touch services, the registry, and timer resolution trip heuristic flags on unsigned binaries. The SHA-256 above lets you verify your download is genuine, and every build is submitted to Microsoft and the major AV vendors. PULSE ships no kernel driver and is anti-cheat safe.

We're obtaining an EV code-signing certificate; until then installers are unsigned and may trigger SmartScreen — verify the SHA-256 published next to every download before running.

  • Signature Unsigned — EV cert in progress
  • Kernel driver None
  • Game injection Never
  • Anti-cheat EAC · BattlEye · Vanguard · VAC
  • Reversibility 100% — JSON snapshot

If SmartScreen appears · three steps

  1. Expected · unsigned build

    SmartScreen may appear.

    Until the EV certificate lands, Windows can show “Windows protected your PC” when you run the unsigned installer. The message is about the missing signature — not about what's in the file.

  2. More info

    Choose “More info”.

    Select the small “More info” link in the dialog. Windows expands it to show the app's file name and a Run anyway button.

  3. After the hash matches

    Choose “Run anyway”.

    Do this only after the SHA-256 you computed matches the published hash. If the hashes differ, delete the file and download again.

From download to first optimize

Install in three steps.

Every change PULSE makes is recorded to a JSON snapshot first — one click reverts.

  1. Download and run the installer.

    One small file. Verify its SHA-256 first if you like — it takes ten seconds.

  2. Allow the UAC prompt.

    Admin is needed for system tweaks. Windows asks on first run only.

  3. Open PULSE and run a one-click optimize.

    Everything it applies is reversible — the original state is snapshotted before any change.
