Installed on 3 machines running Windows 10x64 Pro Build 17134.81 V1803. Thus far, this new version appears to be working fine. Not finished testing yet, but looking good.

There's an error in File tools > Directory Finder > Options.

Seems like Directory Finder lists the options of Registry Finder, such as:

Root key to scan, etc.

Advanced options: Analyse key names, etc.

Why open a ticket on support page? I don't ask for support. I'm just reporting a bug in te newest version of jv16 PowerTools that has to be fixed.

That's the way we have always worked in the past. Is this changed now?

Problem with new version is upon analysing it appears to start ok then nothing more happens, it looks like it's still scanning (ring is still scrolling) but no further green ticks appear. I've left it running for 20 minutes with no progress.

Hard drive light stops flickering too.

If I abort the program freezes & a not responding error occurs. :(

I am experiencing very similar behaviour in program hanging when performing "Clean and Speed Up my Computer". If Startup optimizer, Registry Compacor & Performance tweaks are all unticked the program completes successfully. As soon as I tick Registry Compactor the program hangs but can be shut down from the Task Manager.

Since installing the new release of Jv16, I have experienced a lot of unhappiness!

The NEW method of licensing is ABSOLUTELY BROKEN. jv16 will NOT download, install, or activate my new license purchased today.

A few favorite features are not working (maybe because I am stuck in DEMO / TRIAL mode?).

I used Macecraft registry cleaner since 1999 (when it was called RegCleaner). I felt jv16 was an ESSENTIAL PC utility. But the current version is total JUNKWARE. i recommend avoiding jv16 like the Black Plague.
