Xiret

Xiret is a simple but powerful tool designed to replace the Experience Index User Interface that was removed in Windows 8.1. It features a beautiful, easy to use custom UI, no adverts or spam, and is completely free forever. It's compatible with all versions of Windows that shipped with the Experience Index (excluding server versions). This program was written as the Windows Experience Index UI was removed in Windows 8.1. Many applications that imitate the experience index either a. do not work properly, or b. have many adverts, so I created something stable and free.

Clean, friendly and easy to use UI built for novice and expert users alike

Motivation

Initially, Xiret was created to pass some time when the Experience Index UI was removed in Windows 8.1. Since it's growing into V2 I though 'why not share?'. VB isn't too hard to get into and it may help someone learn a thing or two, like I did. Other motivation was anti-virus engines flagging this software as malware.
