Check the number of passes needed before safely booting Windows. 4 seems sufficient? Daily driver use might require 9 or more passes. Note: Current tests run at 2666MHz CL15-17-17-36-1T @1.35V.

Typical mistakes occur during the initial attempt. Issues become evident after the tenth iteration.

It's very reliable to restart Windows after the first day. Fully safe for regular use beyond the tenth day.

I completed 2 passes, the first lasted 2 hours and 50 minutes, the second was close to 9 hours. After about 12 hours of testing, I thought it would be sufficient.

How much memory do you have? Well, it's enough for most tasks. The numbers I mentioned are just guidelines—1 is sufficient to handle 99% of issues, and 10 is enough for any rare problems.

Also configure it to execute in parallel, which helps detect errors quicker because of more processing units!

I believed it worked across all cores, but I didn’t want to risk a restart. Next time I’ll try with all cores.

No visual interface available? Previous version? How much RAM do you currently have?
