    Hey are you using EAZ-FIX ? I saw that you are using some cure for it? I won't mind if you share a bit more....:D :p

    IMHO, Sharing is Caring !! Isn't

    Hi Greg,

    I'm afraid I'm in between meetings...long day.

    When I saw your post, I forwarded it to the engineering Director. With version 1.4, you should not encounter the problem you describe.

    Cheers,

    Eirik

    Thanks for the screenshot. That looks an awful lot like what one of the engineers should me (hard copy) in a hallway conversation...in between meetings. Its nice to see they're replicating your observations.

    Correcting this issue was too involved for version 1.4. With the trouble tickets were getting, we decided to focus on bug fixes and only new capabilities that were far enough along to include that wouldn't push out the release date for 1.4. We will address this. However, that may not include "non-printable" characters. I'm not precisely certain as to what that means (sorry).

    Cheers,

    Eirik

    I'll forward this to engineering. I imagine they would appreciate more details regarding your observations to better replicate the issue.

    Thanks,

    Eirik

    i dont think if version 8.1 works fine for you there is any advantages in version 9.X :)

    The previous version 1.3.3 exhibited this behaviour on my system, and this is still the case with version 1.4.7.

    Eirik got the AppGuard engineers to take a look when I first reported the slow loading issue some time ago but they couldn't find the cause. If enough people report this as an issue, maybe Blue Ridge Networks will up the priority and take another look.

    I know it's not something experienced by everyone because I've got a friend who I introduced to AppGuard and the slow loading issue doesn't occur on his system.

    EDIT: I should add that it's not only at system startup. If I manually exit the GUI via the tray icon and reload it, the icon can take around 20 seconds to reappear in the system tray.

    Just tested it again myself and it took 12 seconds this time to reload. I remember now that 20 seconds is the additional time for the tray icon to appear on system startup after Windows has finished loading. Either way, it's still slow though.

    I do wonder whether the slow loading could be anything to do with the GUI having trouble establishing communication with the service, because I've also noticed that sometimes when changing settings via the GUI, I've had to reload the GUI before the settings have taken effect. :doubt:

    now is the service loading first then the system tray icon?

    because the services can load way before the tray icon?

    My first run of the new version seemed to work as far as the enable/re-enable protection. I shut down, restarted and get this again. Screen capture provided by AppGuard supposedly blocking the private area of My Documents.

    guess not. id wish they would have a optional popup asking if you want to run the EXE so you dont have to disable AG.

    Eirik can that be a optional thing?
