DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License Guest:
If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.
Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.
(You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)
Which version of Windows are you using? XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, or 11?
Do you have any third-party antivirus that may be interfering?
Is this a personal or work computer?

@fhhhhhhheyy , your a bit lacking in details. I not sure how you expect someone to be able to help.
Hi there, I am having the same problem with Windows 11 V24H2 - build 26100.2894. I right click on exe and run as administrator and UI tells me I need to run as administrator in response. This wasn't the case a little over a year ago when I bought my last batch of SSDs. Your guidance would be appreciated. I can help in any way. Also, forgot to mention my machine is a new Windows surface laptop running the ARM chipset - Snapdragon Elite.

This is likely the issue. Steve writes all of his code in x86 assembly. Does it work if you enable Compatibility Mode? (the exact name is probably different)
I just had the same issue on my Surface with the Snapdragon processor with Win 25H2.
As a side note, SpinRite saved my bacon many times back in the Eighties and it's nice to see Steve still kicking around.
