    We have today released an updated version for jv16 PowerTools X (version
    number: 4.0.0.1479). The updated version contains many bug fixes and other improvements, as well as the Dutch and Polish translations.
    To see the complete Change Log, please see:
    https://www.macecraft.com/?p=4150
    In addition to the new PowerTools X version, we are happy to announce that the forum is now back online. The discussion forum was down for maintenance for a long time due to critical security advisories released for the forum software and also due to lack of resources to moderate the forum. We do apologize for the inconvenience. Everything has now been updated and the forum is now once again available at the same address:
    https://www.macecraft.com/forum/
    We have also released a statement relating to the crowdfunding campaign we did last year. In short: We promised to convert jv16 PowerTools to an open source software if the campaign reaches its funding target. However, the target was not reached and that is the reason why jv16 PowerTools has not been released as open source. Everyone who contributed to the campaign with specific level contribution are entitled for a free PowerTools X update.
    For more details about the campaign and about the contributions, please read more at:

    We have today released an updated version for jv16 PowerTools X (version
    number: 4.0.0.1480).
    The new version addresses two issues that may be affecting you, namely:
    * If you are running Windows 8 or newer Windows AND your system has an E disk drive (e.g. "E:\") the Clean and Fix My Computer may display certain types of false positive data. Removal of this data is not critical to the operation of Windows and the bug doesn't affect all users.
    * The Startup Optimizer can fail to properly run certain software under specific conditions. If you have tried the PowerTools X and after using it, some software which usually start with your computer no longer start automatically, this bug is probably the reason. This bug fix ensures the software are run again properly during the next system startup.

    An updated version of jv16 PowerTools X released, its version number is 4.0.0.1485. The updated version contains the following changes.

    • Bug fix: The program can crash with Out of Memory error message.
    • Bug fix: The Back button in the main user interface isn’t translated. This fix does not require changes to the translation files.

    • Bug fix: In some systems, enabling the password protection made the program no longer start (the password input window never showed up).

    • Improvement: My Account feature now automatically checks for a license after you enter your information, without the need to click the Update button.
    • Improvement: My Account feature now automatically informs us if you have bought a license but the license installation has failed, this will make our servers automatically generate a new license file for you.
    • Improvement: If you once disable Startup Optimizer, the default setting for it in Clean and Fix My Computer will now also be disabled.
    • Improvement: Improved the accuracy of the registry cleaning engine.
    • Improvement: PowerTools can now better detect and skip directories that seem like temporary directories but which are not. For example, if you use directory “C:\Temp” to store your temperature measurement documents, PowerTools is now able to detect that the data inside the directory is important and do not offer those files to be removed as temporary files.
    • Improvement: After applying a new license, PowerTools will now show more clearly that a license has been applied and that the program must be now restarted.
    • Improvement: Improved Software Uninstaller’s ability to find installed software from the system.
    • Improvement: The program now uses less memory (RAM) when running.
    • Improvement: Added the forum link to the main window.
    Note: The program’s user interface has been updated, this means all the translations need minor updates so the new user interface texts are also translated. The new texts are under sections “[.HelpNew1]” and “[Main Window Texts]”.
    The new version’s version number is 4.0.0.1485. After downloading and installing the new version, please open the Help > About window to verify you are running the latest version. Some browsers tend to cache the installation file and therefore you might not receive the latest version but the same old version you have previously downloaded.
    You can install the new version over any previous versions of jv16 PowerTools X. If you are running jv16 PowerTools 2014 or any earlier version, please install PowerTools X to a new directory, do not install it over PowerTools 2014 (do not install to same installation directory).
    The new version can be downloaded from here: download jv16 PowerTools X.

    • Improvement: The program now ships with the individual tool icons included, so created desktop shortcuts can use tool icons.

    Please note that this will most likely be the last time you will have to manually setup jv16 PowerTools X on your current operating system. Updates will from now on be delivered to your system automatically (once the latest, current version 4.0.0.1499 is downloaded and installed) and any bug fixes and improvements published alongside these updates will be reported to you via e-mail during our weekly updates session. Our full focus goes to making sure you benefit from some of the best PC Optimization features on the market today, with the least amount of effort.
    Bug Fixes

    The new version’s version number is4.0.0.1499. After downloading and installing the new version, please open the Help > About window to verify you are running the latest version. Some browsers tend to cache the installation file and therefore you might not receive the latest version but the same old version you have previously downloaded.
    You can install the new version over any previous versions of jv16 PowerTools X. If you are running jv16 PowerTools 2014 or any earlier version, please install PowerTools X to a new directory, do not install it over PowerTools 2014 (do not install to same installation directory).
    The new version can be downloaded from here:download jv16 PowerTools X.

    An updated version of jv16 PowerTools has been released. The latest version number is 4.2.0.1919
    Change Log – What’s New
    (compared to jv16 PowerTools build 4.2.0.1898]

    Bug Fixes
    • Fix: The Clean and SpeedUp My Computer or Initial Setup may take a very long time to complete, or does not complete at all.
    • Fix: Uninstalling certain software with the Software Uninstaller can make jv16 PowerTools to display “not responding” text in its window caption (this is a cosmetic issue only, and does not affect the actual uninstallation process.)
    • Fix: Uninstalling a software can cause a log file to be created at user’s home directory, instead of jv16 PowerTools installation directory.
    • Fix: If uninstalling jv16 PowerTools, the software’s background process (jv16pt_PreWorker2.exe) could remain running in the background and therefore not deleted during the uninstallation.
    • Fix: Uninstalling certain software can make the system to reboot, as jv16 PowerTools fails to select the “manually reboot later” option from the software’s uninstaller.
    • Fix: FileZilla was listed twice by the Software Uninstaller (as “FileZilla” and “FileZilla Client”)
