WinPatrol 2012 Update 1

Version 24.0.2012.1 - January 30th, 2012


• Delayed Start
  While not everyone had the same experience some folks reported that Delayed Start was no longer working with WinPatrol 2012
  This update will resolve this error and give back one of your favorite features.
• Hidden Files 64 bit
  This update also helps fix a bug in the display of hidden files on 64 bit versions of Windows. It doesn't affect any other versions and has no impact unless you're using Windows 64 bit version. You'll know you have Windows 64 bit if you notice the you have both a Program Files folder and one called Program Files (x86).

New WinPatrol 2012 Update 5 - v.24.5.2012
March 25th, 2012

Build 24.5 has some changes in both WinPatrol and our installation program. This version addresses two major reports. One relates to WinPatrol crashing for no obvious reason. The other report is that WinPatrol wasn't always running when the computer started.

Our previous version also had more than its share of trouble trying to "Kill" programs that were running. Thanks to the Microsoft engineers who offered tips at our recent Most Valuable Professional summit. This version works much better so we expect all users will happy updating to 24.5.

Unfortunately on our two XP Pro SP3 setups the "kill task" function still fails.

And though each of us has the exact same options selected, when we request "plus info" via the context menu, my wife is directed to WP's "Cloud Info" page while I receive a response from a page without any reference to the "cloud" or selecting any of various cloud feedback options. (And neither of us have the cloud features enabled.)

While I appreciate and support WP (via my Plus license), it continues to be erratic in its performance. What it does, it seems to do well, but one never knows if it's operating on all cylinders which is why I run it "on demand" only these days for whatever additional information or support it may provide

WinPatrol 24.6.2012
released: April 15th, 2012

One of the major complaints with the last versions of WinPatrol has been the option to automatically run WinPatrol on startup. We narrowed down the code where Windows 64 was redirecting the location used to auto run WinPatrol. The checkbox found in the Options tab will now maintain its status as it always has.
This "Automatically run WinPatrol..." option controls the small monitor component of WinPatrol that detects changes without slowing you down. Most people who had problems will be happy that Scotty will always on patrol again. Many others use the WinPatrol Explorer tabbed interface but have other programs they prefer as a heuristic monitor. This will work tor them as well

A number of XP users had reported problems which have been tracked down to the use of newer development tools. While our only XP machine won't accept the SP3 update our XP SP3 emulator is now much happier with this new version. I'll continue to work with any XP SP3 users who report problems.
I had also neglected special features available to Windows 64 bit XP users. This configuration is apparently more popular than our stats indicated.

My goal continues to try supporting every version of Windows available with a single code base. Next stop Windows 8!

WinPatrol 26.0.2013 Enhanced for Windows 8
Release Date: December 10th, 2012
http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html

WinPatrol 2013 works as you’d expect and with your support I’ll be adding some Windows 8 specific features as they are needed and/or suggested. I’m also learning how to create Windows RT apps so given enough interest perhaps there’s a WinPatrol RT in our future.
