jv16 PowerTools 6.0.0.1133


Changes in jv16 PowerTools 6.0.0.1133:

• Fix: The program can display Access Violation and Privileged Instruction error message when starting, or when the Widget starts. This mainly happens with systems that have a third party application called WindowBlinds installed. This is a cosmetic issue, that is, it does not cause any harm to the system. Nevertheless, it is an annoying and it is now fixed.
  
• Fix: Uninstalling jv16 PowerTools can leave up to three Widget related files behind to the C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\ directory. This is now fixed, and any previously left behind files will also be removed by this version’s uninstaller.
  
• Fix: The capitalization of some of the navigation menu items can be wrong when using the program in other than the English user interface.
  
• Fix: The Widget’s setting in jv16 PowerTools Settings window does not work properly. For example, you cannot re-enable Widget from the Settings if you have disabled it via its “Exit and never show again” feature.
  
• Fix: The tooltips shown by the left navigation panel mixes English with translated texts. This only happens a Non English UI is used.
  
• Fix: The dashboard can show gibberish (such as 0xB21A12) as the RAM manufacturer name.
  
• Fix: The automatic updates do not work. This feature has now been entirely re-written and it is now working. If enabled, you should automatically receive all the hotfix and small updates to the program from now on. Major new updates still require a manual download and installation.
  
• Fix: The program can display a cut message saying “if the download didn’t start, go to https://”. The message should include the correct address. This is now fixed.
  
• Fix: Software Uninstaller can incorrectly remove a shared software installation directory. For example, if you have Firefox and Thunderbird installed from Mozilla, uninstalling one can cause the incorrect removal of the shared c:\users\x\AppData\Local\Mozilla\ directory.
  

Improvements:

• Major accuracy improvement: Software Uninstaller finds on average 25% more data relating to installed software, and System Cleaner contains a new registry cleaning scan module.
  
• Major performance improvements: Initial Setup now runs on average 20% faster and System Cleaner about 10% faster.
  
• The dashboard now shows whether your hard drives are old style mechanical hard drives or SSD. For SSDs, it will also show whether the drive is SATA SSD or NVMe SSD.
  
• The program now attempts to detect Windows shutdown and if one is detected, the program now handles that more gracefully. This applies to both the main jv16 PowerTools and the Widget.
  
• You can now enable and disable an automated reboot within the scan progress screen for system cleaning and uninstallation of software.
  
• Improved the overall smoothness of the dashboard and the scan progress UI.
  
• The widget will now blend to the desktop background smoother after the mouse cursor leaves the Widget app area.
  
• This version comes with many updated translations, such as: Dutch, Swedish and Russian. German translation will be updated soon, too

jv16 PowerTools 6.1.0.1203

Changes in jv16 PowerTools 6.1.0.1203:
Feature Improvements:

• Major speed improvements to all the main features: Initial Setup, System Cleaner scan and Software Uninstaller scan. These speed improvements are focused on the outliner systems. In other words, the average speed of each tool remains about the same, but in systems which had terribly slow Initial Setup or Software Uninstaller scan times, there should be major improvements.
  
• Moved a lot of data processing from the main jv16 PowerTools executable to a helper executable residing in the same application folder. This improves data processing speeds and improves UI responsiveness, for example during Initial Setup.
  
• It is now possible to select multiple items from the result list using the Shift key. Click first item you wish to select, press down the Shift key and then click the second item, and all items between the two items will be selected.
  
• Added an option to select items by search word.
  
• The message boxes now allow you to select the text for easier copying. For example, when in Software Uninstaller > Right Click > Show all data, you can simply select and copy with Control + C the data you want.
  
• Added an option to open a running app’s folder. To do this, simply Right-Click the app in the Dashboard or Widget and choose Open in Explorer.
  
• The application and the widget now close down faster. Before, there could be a delay of few seconds.
  
• Improved the UI update smoothness of the Widget.
  
• It is now possible to select multiple items from the result list using the Shift key. Click first item you wish to select, press down the Shift key and then click the second item, and all items between the two items will be selected.
  
• Made the option of killing apps from the Dashboard or Widget easier to notice.
  
• If jv16 PowerTools is set to automatically start after software uninstallation reboot, the widget should not automatically start for a few seconds before the reboot happens.
  
• Improved the smoothness of the Initial Setup progress display.
  
• The Widget will now set its default data update speed based on the computer speed. Previously, the Widget could use 10%+ of CPU simply to update its data, because it was updating too frequently and with slower computers this would cause substantial CPU usage.
  
• Improved the classification of running apps within the Dashboard and Widget. These features should only list running user apps, previously they could sometimes also list system apps as they were not all correctly detected.
  
• Added an option to not show the Widget within its list of running apps.
  
• Keeping the mouse cursor over any apps of the Dashboard’s or the Widget’s will now display the app’s filename.
  
• Improved detection of Big Fish game launcher games.
  
• Saving the result list as a text file now also includes the column captions.
  
• Software Uninstaller will now display the installation size of small apps in KB, instead of saying 0 MB.
  
• Improved Software Uninstaller’s accuracy in detecting installed software data, such as publisher names.
  
• Added a select icon to the result lists, such as System Cleaner and Software Uninstaller to allow easier and faster selection of items.
  
• We have noticed some users not realizing that the jv16 PowerTools button at the top left corner of the app window is the main menu. We have now addressed this by adding a tip text about it.
  
• System Cleaner’s Domain Whitelist now also ignores sub-domains. Before, adding domain.com would only whitelist that, anything like subdomain.domain.com cookies could still be listed by System Cleaner.
  
• Clicking the Download button in Check For Updates screen will now take you to the direct download page. Before, the Change Log page of the new version was opened. Now the program has a separate button for opening that page to read more details of the new version.
  
• There can be a delay of a second or few after clicking the Start button in Finder. During this time, the app seems frozen. It’s not frozen, but this is not properly indicated. This is now addressed with an added Please Wait message and also by making the starting of search faster.
  
• Deleting a lot of data with the Finder result screen can take some time. However, during this time there is no progress indication. Addressed by adding a Please Wait message.
  
• Improved the Software Uninstaller’s ability to avoid automatic reboots when uninstalling software.
  
• Added an option to display the dates within the app in the format of year . month . day.
  
• Comes with many updated translations, including Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Swedish and Thai.
  

Bug Fixes

• The System Cleaner can get stuck at 90% progress seemingly forever when scanning. This bug only affected some users, but for them, it was very annoying as it basically prevented them from using the tool.
  
• With some users, the program fails to start entirely, or it starts but the entire UI is unresponsive and clicking any of the tool buttons does nothing. This was a very rare bug with only six people reporting it. We were able analyze the problem and it was caused by specific hardware configuration causing the UI initialization code to fail. It’s now fixed.
  
• The hard disk type (HDD vs. SSD) detection in the main Dashboard does not work correctly in all systems.
  
• In some systems especially with a lot of registry errors, starting of the program can take unusually long.
  
• The Widget can display List Index Out of Bounds error message.
  
• When uninstalling software, the Software Updater icon can be incorrectly highlighted as the currently active tool in the navigation panel. This is purely a cosmetic issue.
  
• The English user interface contains a few typos and grammar mistakes. They should all be fixed now.
  
• Within Windows Control Panel’s remove apps, jv16 PowerTools version number can be incorrectly listed as 5.x, it should be 6.x.
  
• If you kill jv16 PowerTools using the X button from its Dashboard listing of apps, this does not start the Widget even though normally closing jv16 PowerTools would start it.
  
• The automatic sizing of the Widget window does not work properly.
  
• If you enter the Settings view in Widget, the Right Click menu will no longer display most of the Hide/Show menu items.
  
• The save button in Widget’s Settings view uses different colors compared to the other buttons in the Widget.
  
• In some screen sizes, the default jv16 PowerTools window size might be too tall, getting partially covered by the Windows taskbar.
  
• Starting the app with a command line parameter (such as jv16PT.exe -SoftwareUninstaller) does not always work.
  
• One System Cleaner scan module is called “Scan automatically while starting software”, which, makes no sense because of the incorrectly added word, it has now been fixed to “Scan automatically starting software”.
  
• Even with the Do not create any backups option selected from the Settings, the program can still create backups.
  
• Settings “Show search panel by default” does not work. Even if unchecked, the search panel is visible in the tool results view.
  
• It’s not possible to close the Search panel in Task Closer. Clicking the X button does not do anything.
  
• Settings “Show the reason why each item was found as invalid or safe to remove” does not work. That is, unchecking this option does not hide the reason column from System Cleaner UI.
  
• Using the Finder to search for only registry data causes the scan progress screen to still display file system paths and the program says these file system paths are being searched. This is a cosmetic bug, the file system paths are not searched if you tell the Finder to only look for registry data, however the user interface incorrectly says file system is also searched.
  
• Using the Right-Click menu is impossible in the message popup window because the menu gets automatically closed.
  
• Opening a registry key with Finder’s Right-Click menu option can show error message saying the registry key does not exist – even if it does exist.
  
• Software Updater does not display the number of items in the bottom left corner of the window status bar.
  
• The Widget has a small memory leak which causes its RAM usage to increase slowly but surely if it is running for a long time.
  
• Even when a tool is open, the tool’s navigation panel tooltip would say something like “click here to open the tool”. As the tool is already open, the tooltip could be confusing.
  
• When the navigation panel is minimized, the buttons may not display any tooltips at all.
  
• Killing an app with the Widget can sometimes kill it correctly, but it still remains listed as a running app (because the list does not get refreshed correctly).
  
• Using the result filter bar can cause the program to crash with an Access Violation error message.

jv16 PowerTools 6.1.1.1216

Changes in jv16 PowerTools 6.1.1.1216:

Feature Improvements:

• Scanning and cleaning speed of System Cleaner is now a lot faster.
  
• The program is now compatible with the upcoming Windows 11.
  
• Improved the Software Uninstaller’s ability to find and delete left-over data.
  
• The setup executable now also has the executable file information fields set, such as file comments.
  
• Reduced the size of log files created during System Cleaner usage.
  
• Added “Check For Updates” also to the Tools menu of the main window. Previously, it was only under the Help menu.
  
• Comes with updated Dutch, Polish, Russian and Swedish translations.
  

Bug Fixes

• Performing a full system cleanup with the System Cleaner can take a very long time, with the progress indicator seemingly stuck at 90% or at 99% in some systems.
  
• System Cleaner does not always find all the possible temporary files for removal.
  
• If you do a full system cleaning with System Cleaner, and then run the scan again, it can still show more items to clean. This can repeat for many times, if not forever.
  
• System Cleaner can fail to detect some broken shortcuts.
  
• Some parts of the Settings window UI are not rendered correctly in all screen resolutions and application window sizes making some texts of check boxes invisible.
  
• The Check For Updates screen can display a blank screen on some systems.
  
• If you abort a system cleaning session, the checkbox about restarting computer remains visible on screen for a few seconds while the progress screen should only contain information that the operation was aborted. This is a cosmetic issue, but fixed now nevertheless.
  
• In some systems, starting the app or running the Initial Setup could cause Windows to display error message saying “This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer”.
  
• When a message box is shown, it will by default display the blinking text caret (cursor). It can look a bit confusing as to why there is one. It’s now fixed. You can still place the caret there by clicking the message box text with your mouse cursor and select text for Ctrl + C.
  
• Running jv16 PowerTools on a screen with a very small resolution (e.g. 800×600 px), the navigation panel can be drawn without any content (no icons) and no texts.

jv16 PowerTools 7.2.0.1320

Changes in jv16 PowerTools 7.2.0.1320:


Feature Improvements:

• New Tool: Big File Finder. This tool allows you to easily find old and obsolete files from your computer, not only by their size but also based on when the files were last used. This tool is especially handy in finding old downloaded files that could be deleted.
  
• New feature: Dark Mode! Finally, the user interface supports Dark Mode. By default, the program automatically detects whether the Dark Mode is enabled in Windows and if it is, jv16 PowerTools starts in Dark Mode, too. You can also force the Dark Mode to be always used from the Settings.
  
• New feature: System Cleaner categories view allows you to easier see what results were found and also select them by category.
  
• New feature: Task Closer has been renamed to Task Manager and it now allows listing of running apps or processes, and it supports hiding of system related apps.
  
• Improved the overall cleaning performance of the System Cleaner and Software Uninstaller scans. For example, Software Uninstaller now finds up to 100% more data relating to installed software.
  
• Improved scan progress accuracy reporting.
  
• Improved browser tracking and advertising cookie detection and cleaning.
  
• Improved the safety of the System Cleaner scan by introducing a new safety option to the Settings.
  
• Major improvements to the user interface of the Finder and Duplicate Finder tools.
  
• Added an option to disable automatic reboot after System Cleaner scan. This is in Settings > System Cleaner.
  
• The scan progress screen now has uniform path capitalization and better column width management.
  
• After you download an updated version of the program via Tools > Check For Updates > Download New Version, the new versions setup file is automatically started.
  
• The Buy Now button in the Dashboard now uses the same mouse cursor (hand point) as the Buy Now button in the top window panel. It makes sense to use the same for both.
  
• Improved the accuracy of detecting installed software which do not correctly register themselves to the system, such as Forte Agent.
  
• The buttons now use better visual style and are bigger for improved readability.
  
• You can now open the main menu by right clicking the top window bar. Previously, the only way to open the main menu was to click the menu button in the top left corner.
  
• All the main tools now offer more information what they do and how they work.
  
• Finder and Duplicate Finder tools now remember if you change their Ignore Words settings. Before, the Ignore Words list was always restored to the default. Now the default list is only used when the tools are first used, and if user changes the ignore settings, those are remembered.
  
• Added a greetings text to the Dashboard, explaining how to use the product. This will be especially useful for first time users.
  
• The user interface of all the major tools now contain tips to help first time users and the added jv16 PowerTools logo in the results lists can also be Right Clicked to show the main menu.
  
• The installer now creates a start menu shortcut also for the Widget.
  
• Software Uninstaller’s Right Click > Show Data, as well as the uninstall confirmation screen now show the data alphabetically sorted, making it much easier to read.
  
• When a result list is updating, status bar no longer display the number of items selected as this number might be currently being updated.

• Duplicate File Finder now also displays the more detailed progress per running scan module.
  
• The Settings screen now better supports smaller screen sizes and resolutions.
  
• Added a Size column to the Finder and Duplicate Finder results listing.
  
• New navigation bar icons and other general user interface improvements.
  

Bug Fixes

• Software Uninstaller could miss some installed software, especially if the software’s name included ‘for windows’, one example of such missed installed software was Seagate’s ‘Seatools for Windows’ which was not listed by Software Uninstaller at all.
  
• The app could incorrectly show in the bottom bar that a new version of the software is available for download.
  
• It was not possible to translate some elements of the Dashboard, because the texts were missing from the translation file (English.txt).
  
• The bottom part of the Dashboard could display an empty panel when an updated version release was detected.
  
• Some used settings of the hard drive information in Dashboard could make content of the Dashboard not to be fully visible.
  
• The scan progress could go up to 50% and then display the results. This could look misleading and let user think the scan only ran the half way. In reality, this was simply a cosmetic issue, the scan was fully run, the scan progress reporting simply did not work properly. Nevertheless, this is now fixed.
  
• The word ‘MB’ was not translated in Task Closer.
  
• System Cleaner could in some cases incorrectly display the default entry name of a registry entry as ‘hkey_root\key\ -‘ instead of the normal ‘hkey_root\key\ – @’ format. This was a cosmetic issue and did not affect the way the System Cleaner worked.
  
• The circular chart element in Internet Optimizer could contain visual artifacts.
  
• The Task Manager’s automatic task closing feature was showing an invalid scroll bar in the middle of the tool page.
  
• The top right corner button’s ‘Move this panel up’ and ‘Move this panel down’ did not work for the Statistics panel in Dashboard.
  
• The description text of System Cleaner could contain incorrect numbers and the caption of the Fix button was not updated correctly.
  
• The progress starting and ending graphics could contain visual artifacts such as horizontal lines.
  
• The results search panel could show up before the actual results were visible in Software Uninstaller.
  
• Dashboard’s Right Click menu option ‘Hide CPU and RAM using apps’ did not work in all cases without restarting the app.
  
• The System Cleaner could fail to delete software left-over type items.
  
• The System Cleaner could under some circumstances delete temporary files which were unselected from the results list by the user. This was a rare bug and only affected temporary file cleaning, not any other data type.
  
• Widget’s option to not show itself in the list of running apps did not always work.
  
• Some texts within the UI had typos.
  
• Hiding some hard drives in Dashboard using the Right Click menu worked, but if you tried to then show them again, the content of the hard drive bars remained empty.
  
• Choosing Select All when all the items of the result list are already selected, or choosing Select None when nothing is selected, could still have caused the program to show a Please Wait popup and cause few seconds of processing time when clearly none were required.
  
• Uninstalling software could in some cases show an incorrect warning about the uninstalled software being similar with software that is not being uninstalled.
  
• The top right corner panel buttons of the Dashboard could display incorrect color when the mouse cursor is over them.

jv16 PowerTools 7.3.1.1392

Changes in jv16 PowerTools 7.3.1.1392:

Feature Improvements:

• Improved the accuracy of System Cleaner’s ‘Registry error relating to’ feature. Previously it could list data such as ‘Registry error relating to Microsoft’, which doesn’t really provide you any value.
  
• Reduced the system resources usage of the jv16 PowerTools Widget.
  
• Improved the accuracy of detecting the names and icons of running apps in the Dashboard and the Widget.
  
• Minor improvements to the overall accuracy of System Cleaner and Software Uninstaller.
  
• The program now opens up faster. In most systems, the difference is negligible but in systems in which the starting time has been slow, it is now up to 25% faster.
  
• Software Uninstaller scan now works faster, on average it now takes 30 seconds, previously with the last version it took 42 seconds.
  
• Some of the confirmation message boxes now show the expected answer by highlighting the default option.
  
• Comes with many updated translations, including Dutch, Finnish and Swedish.
  

Bug Fixes

• The program could display ‘The ordinal 4369 could not be located in the dynamic link library’ error message. This was a rare bug, only affecting specific systems. So far, we received seven reports of this issue. However, in the affected systems, this bug made it impossible to use the app.
  
• The program could display an ‘access violation’ error message when performing the System Cleaner scan.
  
• System Cleaner could get stuck on displaying the ‘updating the results list …’ at the status bar. This was a cosmetic issue, however. This message being visible did not prevent you from using the app in any ways.
  
• If you unselected all but one category from the System Cleaner results, the user interface could enter a loop where the results list got emptied, then updated correctly, emptied again, and so on.
  
• System Cleaner scan’s starting screen could remain on screen for too long, incorrectly letting the user to think the scan might not be starting correctly. This was entirely a cosmetic issue.
  
• Installation of jv16 PowerTools didn’t always create a System Restore Point.
  
• Scrolling the navigation panel could fail and possibly show an ‘out of range’ error message.
  
• The final screen of Software Uninstaller could have the checkboxes in wrong locations, especially if the tool is used more than one time per session.
  
• Clicking the Close button of System Cleaner could cause the program to display ‘access violation’ error message.
  
• The program could generate an empty file called ‘jv16 PowerTools Version Checker’ to its installation directory.
  
• Starting System Cleaner with any browsers running will cause the program to show a confirmation whether browser can be closed to allow browser data cleaning. However, if you chose ‘cancel’ from this confirmation box, it could cause the program to hang for a few seconds, incorrectly display the scan progress screen and only then return to the dashboard.
  
• Dashboard’s RAM section displayed the amount of RAM available to Windows. This could be a smaller number than the actual amount of installed RAM, which caused some confusion. This is now fixed and the dashboard will now display the total amount of installed RAM.
  
• The text of the circular progress element in the progress screen, such as when scanning the system, could sometimes be drawn to the left side of the screen.
  
• Sometimes the program failed to correctly fetch the icon of a running application, causing the CPU or RAM listing areas of the Dashboard to show either a missing or incorrect icon.
  
• Scrolling the Dashboard’s list up and down immediately after the program has started, could cause the scrolling not to be smooth and the CPU usage high for a few seconds.
