No buttons to push, no menus to access, no other options to deal with. Focusing on functionality rather than looks, ChipGenius keeps everything to the minimum: its interface consists of only two areas, one showing a complete list of all the USB devices and controllers, and the other displaying details about the selected device. No installation is required, so ChipGenius can be launched with just a double click. While it can be used in any situation, it particularly comes in handy when a flash device is not visible in File Explorer, but only in the dedicated ‘Devices’ section of Control Panel. We are hosting an unencrypted archive of a slightly older version of ChipGenius that is flagged by fewer antivirus engines and has a better chance of being usable without having to disable your antivirus or add exceptions.ĬhipGenius is a simple application created to assist users in extracting information about their USB devices, finding out details they need to repair broken flash drives.

This serves to prevent antivirus engines from flagging it as malicious, but the files in the extracted archive will still be detected and potentially quarantined by your antivirus. The original archive provided by the developer is encrypted and requires a password to extract. These are false positive alerts triggered by heuristic analysis due to the program's behavior (accessing hardware information). NOTE: Some antivirus solutions may identify this software as malicious.
