This release introduces major enhancements to device health telemetry, power intelligence, performance visibility, browser extension discovery, and security posture reporting.

🔋 Battery Health & Runtime Insights​

Gain deeper visibility into battery behavior and long-term device lifecycle planning.

New battery telemetry​

  • Estimated remaining runtime based on current discharge rate
  • Battery percentage
  • AC power connection state (onAC)
  • Energy Saver / Power Saver state

Battery lifecycle intelligence​

  • Estimated battery time remaining

  • Battery wear / life degradation metrics

  • Improved replacement forecasting to help:

    • Identify batteries approaching end-of-life
    • Replace devices before warranty expiration
    • Optimize resale value before 4-year broker resale cycles

⚡ Power Configuration Visibility​

Expanded power settings collection helps validate enterprise power compliance.

New power settings captured​

  • Hibernate enabled/disabled state
  • Fast Boot / Fast Startup configuration
  • Additional OS power policy settings

This makes it easier to detect devices that may impact startup performance, patching windows, or energy usage.

🔐 Secure Boot Certificate Expiration Monitoring​

Security posture now includes Secure Boot certificate expiration tracking.

Benefits​

  • Detect systems with expiring Secure Boot trust chains
  • Reduce risk of boot integrity failures
  • Improve proactive remediation before certificate expiry events

🖥️ Process-Level Performance Telemetry​

UXM Desktop Agent now provides richer per-process performance diagnostics.

New process metrics​

  • CPU time since process start
  • IOPS since process start
  • GPU utilization per process
  • Input User Delay per process

These metrics help identify:

  • CPU-intensive background apps
  • High disk I/O offenders
  • GPU-heavy workloads
  • Applications causing user input lag or UI responsiveness issues

🌐 Browser Extension Discovery from Disk​

Browser extension inventory has been significantly improved.

Supported browsers​

  • Microsoft Edge
  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox

What’s new​

The agent now:

  • Parses extension metadata directly from files on disk
  • Reads local browser profile extension manifests
  • Captures installed extension details with improved accuracy
  • Sends normalized extension inventory upstream for reporting

This improves visibility even when browser APIs are unavailable or restricted.

🎯 Why This Matters​

This release improves the ability to:

  • Predict hardware replacement timing
  • Protect resale value
  • Monitor enterprise power policy compliance
  • Detect Secure Boot trust risks
  • Troubleshoot app performance issues faster
  • Audit browser extensions more reliably
