Recommendation

Situational

On a stable gaming PC, the tasks can be disabled if you do not use the built-in Windows analysis.

Before diagnosing problems, a major Windows update or contacting support, restore the original state.

What changes

The group collects and processes information about the system state. According to the visible description, BoosterX “the tasks included in this feature are needed for system analysis: memory, disk, CPU consumption and more”. The main visible effect is that the “Reliability Monitor” report (Stability Monitor) stops being updated with new data: Windows collects information about application and hardware failures in it. The second scenario is background power consumption analysis, relevant primarily for laptops and tablets. The report itself remains in place; fresh failure records do not get into it.

Exceptions and differences

• Windows event logs continue to be written: “Reliability Monitor” merely stops being updated.
• The effect is limited to the moments when the tasks would have run; a permanent reduction in CPU load, memory usage or latency has not been confirmed.
• The setting is available in both Windows 10 and Windows 11 — there are no version restrictions in BoosterX.

How to verify the result

Open the “Reliability Monitor” report: “Control Panel” → “System and Security” → “Security and Maintenance” → “Reliability”. The date of the last record stops being updated, and no new failure entries appear.

How to change and revert

Open “Optimization” → “Tasks” → “Diagnostics and analysis” → “Tasks for analysis” and set the toggle to “Enabled”: BoosterX will disable the system analysis tasks. Click “Apply” at the bottom of the page; if “Instant apply” is enabled, a separate button is not required. To revert, set the toggle to “Disabled” and apply the change again: BoosterX will return Windows to its default state with the tasks enabled.

Confirmation

• Research on scheduled diagnostics — a related branch of background Windows diagnostics: the targeted nature of its prohibition is confirmed, and the impact on performance was not measured.
• The filling of the “Reliability Monitor” report was verified against Windows behavior and our research; no public Microsoft documentation about the tasks that collect data for the report was found as of the verification date, so the statement remains without an external source.
