About Nick

Founder and Developer - After over a dozen years "in the trenches" as a computer repair technician specializing in malware removal, I came to focus on a software development hobby. Initially I created tools to assist technicians like myself with the inefficient, repetitive, and mundane tasks PC techs face daily, in order to provide a far more efficient means of getting the job done. Later came an interest in using my development skills and tech experience for prevention of malware...

d7x v21.6.29 Release Notes

Jun 29, 2021

Updated various d7x functions for the Windows 11 Insider Preview, particularly repairs involving Windows services among more minor things. Removed support for Windows 10 service repairs on all versions PRIOR to 1903. The Tweaks > Desktop > Desktop Icons > Recycle Bin was not being detected as enabled if the setting had never been toggled off/on before.

d7x v21.6.24 Release Notes

Jun 24, 2021

The “Check Auto-Start Services” alert on the System Info tab now alerts only for services that are set to start automatically (excluding any delayed auto-start services, whereas previously they were included.) This will mean the alert only pops up when you ACTUALLY should look into the issue, and never because you just restarted Windows and delayed auto-start services haven’t yet had the opportunity to start. As such, this alert is now RED when triggered. Delayed...

d7x v21.6.23 Release Notes

Jun 23, 2021

Lockdown v1.1.2 Released with Downloads fix

Jun 23, 2021

I just received report of a Lockdown user not being able to download files in Chrome or Edge (Chromium) with no blocking reported in the event logs. Thanks to Luke for the report and solution, v1.1.2 has been uploaded to include a new default path in the whitelist rules for “%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Defender” because executables in there were being used to scan file downloads, rather than their counterparts in %programfiles%, I guess.

d7x v21.6.20 Release Notes

Jun 21, 2021

Updated Windows Update Repair routines for Windows 10. v21.6.19.x (Repost) Updated to recognize Windows 11. Corrected an issue with Windows Server 2019 and later versions being reported as Server 2016. Since there is no build number difference between Server 2019 and Server v1809 all instances of Windows Server beyond 2016 should now display as simply Windows Server with the build, e.g. “Windows Server 20H2” The Windows version display will once again turn red when a...

d7x v21.6.17 Release Notes

Jun 17, 2021

d7x Auto Mode previously only resumed automatically after a reboot when running Auto Mode from the Malware tab; now it resumes after reboot if running from all tabs except the Tweaks tab. d7x will no longer prompt to enable Auto Login to Windows when starting Auto Mode if there is only one user account on the system other than administrator/guest/built-in service accounts.
