Top 6 new computer programs to try this week [2018/8/16]
Well, it seems we have a new batch of computer programs here, as we always do in the best programs of the week series by highlighting the best Windows programs that have recently appeared on the scene. As we know, Windows operating system dominates a large share of computer programs, which sets it apart from any other operating system. As usual, we always test these programs for a few days to see if they perform well and exclude any program that is not distinguished, or does not offer anything new, or still needs many programming adjustments, or because of its numerous issues. All of these criteria do not apply to the programs we will be reviewing below.
1- DriverHub Program
The DriverHub program is a brand new and completely free program for Windows devices that helps users download or update their device drivers easily and safely. Despite being a new program, it runs smoothly without errors, both in operation or when downloading drivers. The program has an elegant interface with a simple design, so you don’t need to be a computer professional to handle it. The program comes with drivers that are fully compatible with your device, as it has a huge database including a number of supported devices.

2- RainWallpaper Program
The RainWallpaper program is a very unique program that can take your Windows desktop to a whole new level. With this program, you can set animated wallpapers for your desktop. Not just any animated wallpapers, but carefully selected, creative, and suitable wallpapers for all users. Once you run the program on your device, you will see all available wallpapers in addition to providing quick access to the animated wallpapers page on DeviantArt forum, where you can get more distinctive wallpapers, apply them to your desktop, and control the motion speed through the settings. There are also wallpapers that interact with music, which are very cool and I recommend trying them out.
3- StrongRecovery Program
The StrongRecovery program helps you effectively recover deleted files from various storage units such as: hard disk (SSD – HDD), USB flash drive, SD card, and more. The user interface of the program is very simple, making it easier to use. After running the program, all you have to do is select the partition or disk from which you want to recover deleted files, and then the scanning process will start automatically, which usually takes a long time. After the scan is complete, you can preview the deleted files found by the program and recover them again with a few clicks. That’s it, there are also built-in Tools in the program that I think you should check out.
4- Hard Disk Validator Program
Hard Disk Validator program, which is free, allows you to perform a comprehensive test on the computer’s hard disk and determine whether it contains a damaged sector or not. If you are using an old hard disk, there is a high possibility of having a damaged sector that leads to a performance decline, as the damaged sector is an area that is not working or is damaged in the hard drive. However, the program is very easy, you just need to run it, select Read from the Select Test section, and then press the Start button to start the test immediately. After the test is completed, if you find boxes in red color (as in the image above), this indicates the presence of a bad sector in the hard drive.
5- AppAudioConfig Program
The AppAudioConfig program is a new program from the well-known NirSoft, which is known for creating free software that performs simple but important tasks, just like this program does, as it helps you control the sound level of each program or game on your computer. Windows system already provides this feature, but this program allows the user to have more control, so you can make the sound only come out from a program when wearing headphones, or adjust the sound level in the right or left ear, or mute sound in a specific program, and other things you can do with this free and portable program. The program’s interface is familiar like all NirSoft programs, displaying all programs in a detailed list and allowing control through the toolbar.
6- WiFi Password Revealer Program
The WiFi Password Revealer program is also a free program that allows you to know the password for all Wi-Fi networks you were – or still are – connected to. Windows also has this feature through the CMD command, but the program provides you with information in a more organized and easy-to-use user interface. Once you run the program, you will see a list of all Wi-Fi network names along with their passwords and authentication type, etc. You can export this information and save it in a TXT file if you don’t want to use the program again.
