I have the same question 4. Report abuse. Winsat, or Windows System Assessment Tool, is a Windows program that benchmarks various components of machines when run. The main file that is run to benchmark the device is winsat.

Winsat can run several assessments, each with their own parameters. The main assessments that the tool can run are listed below. The commands above will run the assessments with their default configuration. You can specify custom parameters when you run assessments to customize the tests.

To those saying they dont have a maintenace folder, you need to click the arrow on the left of task scheduler library, clicking on the word itself does not seem to drop the menu down, upon doing this, a dropdown should appear with more folder, click the arrow next to microsoft, then next to windows, and then you should see a maintenance folder.
