This is still not fixed. When the Registry Cleaner requires a restart to remove a registry key, the restart occurs, the keys are removed. However, on doing so, jv16 sets the User Account Login password required option back to active. See the attached picture. In this case, I had run the Registry Cleaner from the main menu. I assume that CFMC suffers from the same mistake.UserLoginPassWSetActive.jpg

This issue is fixed for Windows 8 x64 Professional with RC4g

Here is a new version of the RC4:

http://www.macecraft.com/downloads/betas/jv16PT2014_RC4h.exe

It should fix the Windows 7/8 login issue and the Handbook problem. There are also other minor improvements and fixes.

If you need to enter a password to login to Windows and you get the "wrong password" prompt when starting your computer, please open RegEdit, go to:

Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogin\

and remove value "AdminAutoLogin". This will fix the problem.

Hello dear MaceCraft,

Let me first tell you that I am a very satisfied customer & heavy user of JV 16 PT since many years, since this is by far the best registry cleaner I know (mainly use that function), so I have a very clean computer and register. I have WIN7x64, all things up to date.

Being an addict to JV16, I also became a béta-tester since 2013, in march-april 2013.

So when a new version of JV16 appears I am mainly interested in what the registry-cleaner does better or else than the previous version. So you must read this as a comparison to the previous 2013-full version.

As I take a full image of my drives (with Norton Ghost) before I start béta-testing, I also test afterwards to the max, that means I test all "engine settings" (from normal to most aggresive) and also in combination with all "Scanning Modes" (up to Reference mode).

These are my conclusions :

1) The Handbook-link indeed doesn't work - the pdf-file is also only a few bytes, where a full handbook-pdf is between 2 and 3 Mb - as a solution I replaced it with the 2013-pdf-handbook, waiting on a solution of this problem.

2) While there was a big difference between the registry-cleaner 2012 versus 2013 regarding speed & right positives (especially regarding cleaning previous Microsoft Silverlight versions), for my computer there is practically no difference between 2013 en the new 2014:

* the good news is that the false positives on 'TapiSysprep' and 'Readyboot' are gone (which I also reported on 2013-testing but were never resolved - as a solution for myself I put them in the ignore-words) - because repairing/deleting these false positives-keys gave trouble in that they kill the ReadyBoot-process

* the bad news is that there are 3 remaining false positives :

- I use the very good & commonly known DFX-sound enhancer by PowerTech - JV16 2013 & 2014 give DFX & PowerTech as false positves - when repairing or deleting these keys, you have to re-install the DFX-program - as a solution for myself I put them in the ignore-words

- a false positive 'Volatile' is known for many releases now - Volatile is part of the updating process of Norton Internet Security (also the new 2014-version of NIS) - so it would be great to solve this false positive for once and for all, because there are so many Norton-users around the world - as a solution for myself I put Volatile in the ignore-words

* another major fault/defect remains in 2014, which was also the case in the 2013-version, but this one is for professional users who know what they are doing/cleaning : the "Additional Safety" means no difference - if you check or uncheck the 4 boxes there , there are no more or less positives found. I found this interesting in the 2012-version, because there JV16 2012 found & could remove leftovers of previous Anti-virus-versions as Norton for instance.

Conclusions : JV16 2014 remains by far the reference and the best amongst registry cleaners, but for users like me who have used JV16 for years now, the new 2014 version is not better nor worse than 2013 regarding registry cleaning, so I really hope to get a free licence again for béta-tester : because paying for an upgrade from 2013 to 2014 for me is really not worth the price, especially because the 2013-version is only a half year released/in use (april 2013), so I found it very strange that there was already a new version after merely 5 months...

Best to JV16-team , Rik

Section -> "Search menu" does not work.

Not fixed.

This is now fixed - the feature is not compatible with new versions of Windows and from now on, it is not visible in such Windows. Thank you for reporting!

Still not fixed on Windows Vista SP2 with jv16 PowerTols 2014 RC4h.

Indeed, there is still no sign of a new 2014-Handbook in the RC14h-version :(

The uninstaller of RC4f did not save the settings of jv16. Before installing RC4g, I uninstalled jv16 RC4f. During the uninstall, I told it to keep the settings but delete everything else. I rebooted after the uninstall and then installed RC4g. All the settings had to be re-entered.

This is not fixed in RC4g or RC4h

1. Handbook in jv16PT_RC4h is still not accessible with Adobe Reader 9.5.5.

(Same error as before with RC5g/f/e/d/c)

2. W7 Login issue is now fixed, see: http://www.macecraft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5402&start=15#p32924

(After using Regedit Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogin\ to remove the "1" value in "AdminAutoLogin")

The Login issue on Windows 8 x64 Pro during registry cleaning is also confirmed as fixed. It no longer asks for a password if the user's system is set up to bypass the Windows login password requirement.

Hello, I have a problem with the continuation of the scan using the "Clean and fix my computer". The English language version of the scan will be the Polish draws an error occurs?

W7-x64-SP1 with jv16PT2014_RC4g/4h/

Running CFMC: on my laptop, i5 processor, 128GB SSD, 8GB memory.

'Fix'-ing temporary files (mostly internet files) WITH a backup, takes incredibly LONG. (unacceptable long!)

2446 temporary files, the first 200-400 go pretty fast, than the process rapidly slows down.

After ~1000 files (progress bar is at ~40%) it takes over 1sec to fix ONE temp file.

After ~1400 files (progress bar is at ~55%) it takes over 3sec to fix ONE temp file.

After ~1700 files (progress bar is at ~70%) it takes over 6sec to fix ONE temp file.

At that time (1.5 hours later from the start) I aborted the process.

About 600 files remained, which I decided to 'Delete' WITHOUT taking a backup.

The deletion without a backup went fast.

However after the completion certain tasks in RC4h became very SLOW.

'Fix'-ing (WITH backup) of just 3-8 scanned Registry Cleaner items took MINUTES before the actual 'Fix' process would start!

Because I suspected a correlation with the jv16PT backup environment, I decided to delete ALL present backups (4 Registry cleaner and 4 CFMC backups). Clicking the backup 'Delete' key again took MINUTES before the actual deletion started (show of the usual warning messages before the actual deletion of the files).

After finally all backups were deleted, RC4h came back to life, responsive and useable again.

Is there a correlation with the problems reported in the jv16PT2013 forum thread. :(

A random access violation after closing the PowerTools.

See attached screenshot!

What can cause this error?

Can not maximize this window and it goes blow the task bar. Is this by design?

When this happens, the program generated a file called BugReport.txt to the program's installation directory. Could you send the BugReport.txt file here? It contains more information for me how to fix the problem, thanks!
