This release fixes an issue detecting the current state of the “Set Search Option” for the search bar/icon on the Windows 10 taskbar, located in d7x on the Tweaks > Start Menu/Taskbar tab, and in Tweaky on the Interface/Explorer > Taskbar tab. Previously the default setting was not being detected properly if the setting had never been changed before. Under these conditions, this would have the effect of not applying your chosen setting (when applying...
The main fix to all three apps involves a hopefully rare underlying problem with the code used to work with Windows’ CreateProcess API, which has a bug of it’s own that our code wasn’t compensating for. d7x: Under some rare conditions this may cause a failure to launch 3rd party applications. dSupportSuite: The problem was a little more complicated, and under some conditions this could cause a custom app that had a bad download link...
Fixed tweak “Disable Delay Before Loading Startup Apps” which was applying to the HKLM registry hive, not the (correct) HKCU hive. Chanced tweak “Remove Delay in System Menus” which previously set a delay of 0 milliseconds for the HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay registry value, now it is “Reduce Delay in System Menus” and sets a delay of 50ms because of a complaint in the menus showing up ‘too fast’ (note the default is a 400ms delay). Fixed...
Fixed an issue with d7x updates failing when d7x.exe is running from the root of any partition, e.g. the root of a flash drive. Obviously the update failure will still occur when updating to this version, but should not occur in the future.
Fixed: d7x should now extract the correct product key from Windows 8.x/10 when it is embedded in the UEFI. Change: When the key is not embedded in the UEFI on Windows 10, d7x will no longer display an incorrect product key, instead leaving the field blank. v21.4.2.1 – Fixed: d7x should now detect the correct product key on Windows 8.x and with the Enterprise editions of various Windows versions.
dSupportSuite, our White-Label Automated Maintenance app / Business Card with a Purpose (both the stand-alone and d7x bundled versions) as well as dSupportSuite Mgmt Console have been updated to include two new exciting features which are designed to make it easier to recover user files in the event of a ransomware infection: ShadowGuard has been incorporated. ShadowGuard prevents malicious software/ransomware from deleting your volume shadow copies, and can be configured to guard against VSSAdmin commands,...
Added new “Battery Report” to reports options (using powercfg /batteryreport) which saves the html report file in your d7x reports directory. Added an “Info Report (Minimal)” which does not gather any mail settings at all, any wireless passwords/network info, or any product keys. This can be found on the Audit/Diagnose/Testing tab in the left column, and can also be added to session start via Config > Custom Apps > Assign App/Function to Section. Added ability...
EC2Tool is a utility designed for two purposes: Amazon EC2 Backup Management! Automatically create new and delete old snapshots for existing Amazon EC2 volumes on a schedule. (Premium/paid feature.) EC2Tool was originally created to be a one-time-purchase/perpetual license app to manage your EC2 backups without having to subscribe to a backup service. As a secondary purpose, EC2Tool can also automatically reboot Amazon EC2 instances on a schedule. (FREE feature!) EC2Tool can be useful for anyone with Amazon EC2 instances, including...
Added list of ‘Installed Apps’ and ‘Installed Store Apps (Non-Microsoft)’ to the Info Report. Added Edge (Chromium) version to the Info Report. Cleaned up the battery details in the Info Report, and removed all values with empty data; also cleaned up formatting of some other items (e.g. Mapped Drives and others) in the Info Report and removed some unnecessary data. Info Report should no longer report RAID volumes as a blank SMART HDD status.
For the new Windows Updates (DISM Wrapper) – updated install time to a year-first date and leading zero based format so Windows Update lists would display in chronological order. Changed the date format for reports storage in file/folder naming to use leading zeros on months/days so dated folders and email file attachments etc. will display in chronological order when in a list.
