Too bad: it was fun while it lasted.
Mid april 2017 [WayBack] HDD Guardian – Home closed down, so the latest commit removed all the [WayBack] HDD Guardian – Source Code.
HDD Guardian provides a Windows front-end for smartctl, a utility which monitors your hard drive(s) and SSD(s) for health status, taking advantage of S.M.AR.T.
The WayBack machine and Archive.is have archived some links though:
Anyone interested in getting it before codeplex itself shuts down:
git svn clone https://hddguardian.svn.codeplex.com/svn
Edit 20210909:
Note that a while ago, the salvaged source code got pushed to GitHub: [Wayback/Archive.is] native-api/hddguardian: A GUI app to watch and manage HDDs’ S.M.A.R.T., based on smartmontools. Salvaged from https://hddguardian.codeplex.com

Since they require a referer:
wget --referer=http://launcher.nirsoft.net/downloads/ -m -np http://download.nirsoft.net/nirsoft_package_1.20.10.zip
wget --referer=http://launcher.nirsoft.net/downloads/ -m -np http://download2.nirsoft.net/nirsoft_package_enc_1.20.10.zip
The latter has password nirsoft9876$
The filenames change over time (the 2016 archive of http://launcher.nirsoft.net/downloads/ shows http://download.nirsoft.net/nirsoft_package_1.20.5.zip and http://download2.nirsoft.net/nirsoft_package_enc_1.20.5.zip
Need to check out if I can automate this, as they seem to keep a SysInternals link http://download.nirsoft.net/sysinternals4.nlp

It looks like Microsoft and Embarcadero solved their ends for [WayBack] Windows 10 Creators update and Delphi debugging don’t go well… :
The issue was caused by the Windows LoadLibrary trying to optimise loading which backfired for libraries (PE files like DLL/EXE…) that have multiple import tables in them as generated by the Delphi and C++ Builder linker (and maybe other linkers as well).
Microsoft finetuned their optimisation whereas a future update to Delphi and C++ Builder will generate more optimised import tables.

Brilliant:
This is small tool that adds Attach and Detach option to contextual (aka right-click) menu of Virtual disk (vhd) files. That enables those operations to be done without trip to Disk Management console. Detach option is available on hard drive contextual menu also (if selected in options).

All versions prior to Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 seem vulnerable.
So add $MFT to this list:
Oh BTW: history repeated itself this year too. With NUL
In short, Steven Sheldon created a rust package named nul which broke the complete package manager on Windows:
BTW: one of my gripes on learning new languages is that they come with a whole new idiom of their ecosystem: rust, cargo, crates, all sound like being a truck mechanic to me.
