    "I installed Windscribe VPN, & Adguard & enabled WFP Driver option & restarted the system And got "Windows is getting ready, Dont turn off your system". The process took app 30-40 mins."

    I thought adguard ( paid version )had it's own vpn?

    Yeah, that's wrong indeed as it was updated ok on the server side.

    What if you check updates manually? Is it ok after that?
    Do you use the RC or stable version?

    Yep, we will add it eventually, but it will likely to be after it comes out of beta.

    v6.1.294.1539 RC3, installed Filters:
    Adguard uninstalled (settings kept) - reinstalled, problem remains.
    Manual update: same as above.
    Both filters removed - added again (Add filter by URL / Add selected) via "add selected" option, problem remains.

    Few minutes ago, updated to v6.1.296.1549 RC4, problem remains.

    Which status does it show in results window for EasyPrivacy when you click "check updates"?

    Right click in taskbar icon, from drop-down menu select "Tools" > "Open filtering log"
    Keep the Filtering log open.
    Start browsing.
    Go back to Filtering log now.

    @avatar Question, is there any overlap when using Adguard for Windows and Adguard DNSCrypt together?

    @ avatar,
    fyi: The working version 6.1.296.1549 RC4 uninstalled, this time settings removed ("Remove along with settings" option selected) and stable version 6.1.258.1302 installed.
    All filters updated.

    Please note the difference in versioning for EasyPrivacy between Adguard 5.jpg [ 6.1.296.1549 RC4] (#1892) and Adguard 6.jpg [6.1.258.1302 stable] (#1897)

    Version 6.1.296.1549 RC4 installed on top of the working stable version 6.1.258.1302.
    EasyList & Malware Domains updated normally only 2 times, then once again: not update.

    Again, clean install of stable version 6.1.258.1302: All list updated normally.
    It's obvious that only the beta versions have the update bug.

    Adguard 6.1.296.1549 has just been released!
    Details: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/releases/tag/v6.1.296.1549

    This version should be considered as a revision of the Adguard for Windows 6.1 release. This is why you will not spot many 'major' changes - mostly bugfixes, small changes, improvements etc. More drastic changes will come eventually with 6.2 version.

    Ad Blocking
    [Added] $important modifier #1312

    This new addition is an important one (no pun intended), but mostly relevant for creators of custom filter rules. With it's help you can give certain rules higher priority.

    [Changed] Several apps and browsers added to the list of apps filtered by default #1230, #1236, #1274, #1280, #1344, #1347
    [Fixed] Inconsistent $replace result #1358
    [Fixed] Adguard now filters pages with Content-Type:application/xhtml #571
    [Fixed] HTTPS exceptions do not cover subdomains #1317
    [Fixed] $replace rule can now be applied along with the other rules #640
    [Improved] Filters update check period is now customizable #941
    [Improved] Adguard now can partially block encrypted ads without decrypting SSL protocol (if HTTPs filtering is disabled) #1233

    Networking
    [Changed] Switched to the DigiCert certificate #1268
    [Changed] WoSign and StartCom certificates became unstrusted #1359
    [Changed] Proxy mode will use IPv4 address when it is available from now on #1323
    [Fixed] CSP is now handled in meta tags #797
    [Fixed] Issue with invalid HTML #1222
    [Fixed] "iframe" elements are not removed from the page code #1245
    [Fixed] Adguard.Tools.exe heavy CPU load issue #1229
    [Fixed] Opera dev ad blocker compatibility issue with Adguard Assistant #1173
    [Fixed] Opera built-in VPN compatibility issue #1116
    [Fixed] Certificate validity check order #1277
    [Fixed] SSL exceptions aren't deleted on network API reinit #1304
    [Fixed] Adguard code is injected into a non-HTML document #1316
    [Fixed] WFP driver impacting DPC latency #1156
    [Fixed] $empty modifier behaviour #1360
    [Fixed] Stealth mode ignores $stealth exception #1362
    [Fixed] Inability to apply inline style #1331
    [Fixed] An empty 'style' tag is added even if there's no element hiding #1336
    [Fixed] $replace modifier breaks content charset #1378
    [Fixed] Adsbypasser and some other userscripts do not work properly #1363
    [Fixed] "Enable safe search" function in Parental Control breaks Google #1383
    [Fixed] Adguard doesn't filter HTTPs when Fiddler is switched on and in "decode https" mode #1372
    [Fixed] Adding a URL to temporary HTTPs exceptions is suppressed now when connection is closed from the server side #1341
    [Fixed] 'access-control-allow-origin' header console error #1381
    [Improved] HTTPS is now used for safebrowsing service requests #1386
    [Improved] Encrypted connection is used now with api.adguard.com #1369
    [Improved] Adguard styles are now protected from removing #1272
    [Improved] Content type detection #1264
    [Improved] Content injection algorithm was reworked #1099, #1305

    UI
    [Changed] WOT extension is now disabled by default #1364

    Recently, an article was posted in one of the popular technology blogs, claiming that Web of Trust is selling its users' browser history to third-parties. WoT extension is preinstalled in Adguard for Windows, and although it was developed by us and is not sending any of your data to WoT, we can not leave this without a reponse. For this reason we make WoT extension disabled by default in Adguard for Windows. You can read our official stance regarding these news in our blog.

    [Changed] You can now completely remove WoT extension #1364
    [Changed] Unnecessary text in 'Import rules' dialog window is removed #1349
    [Fixed] Filter's name isn't copied with the rest of request details #1318
    [Fixed] Button size issue on the last step of Adguard wizard #1352
    [Fixed] Adguard crashes if you try to close UI while editing a filter rule #1258
    [Fixed] $replace rule is shown as applied to images #1392

    Install/Update
    [Fixed] Deleted records from HTTPs exclusions are not restored on app update anymore #904

    Many other minor fixes and changes. The full list can be found in descriptions to prior beta versions.

    EDIT: I should correct myself. It appears as though Release Candidate 4 has been accepted as 6.1 final release. These 6.1 release candidates have been rock solid! :thumb:

    AG for Windows already blocks everything. However, DNSCrypt itself prevents you from others seeing your DNS requests.

    Just in case, what version of Windows do you use?
    Could you please send me Adguard's log files? Archive whole %programdata%\Adguard\Logs directory.

    You're right, there was a huge change in the filters update functionality, so there very well may be some bug.
