How do you get it running?

Difficulty · easy Time to first run · 5min

The repo links to a third party download page outside GitHub, not an official vendor site, so verify the installer before running it.

No license is stated in the README, so it is unclear what usage rights, if any, apply to this content.

So what is it?

This repository is not an application or source code project. It is a short troubleshooting guide aimed at Windows 10 and 11 users who are having trouble installing or running a bandwidth monitoring tool called DU Meter. The README lists common problems people hit, such as the installer being blocked by Windows SmartScreen, the app failing to open after an update, missing runtime files, or a slow and frozen interface, and gives a one line suggestion for each, like running the installer as administrator, rebooting, installing the latest Visual C++ redistributable, or updating a graphics driver. Rather than hosting the DU Meter software itself, the repository points to a single external web page for downloading the installer. That page is not part of GitHub and is not the official DU Meter or Windows vendor site, so it is a third party source. The README itself says to always verify downloads and scan files that were not compiled by the reader, which is worth repeating here: treat any installer from a page like this the same way you would treat any download from an unfamiliar website, and confirm you are getting software from a source you trust before running it. There is no source code, script, or configuration file in this repository. It functions purely as a written guide, structured with search-friendly phrases such as "du meter not installing on windows 11" so people running into that exact problem can find it. It does not replace official support from the DU Meter maker and covers only 64 bit Windows 10 and 11.
