New V5.0.0.468: Concerns thus far:

siliconman01

Do like the new GUI.

Here are a couple of items that I have run into thus far.

1. If System Protection is not enabled on the primary drive, jv16 hangs if the User selected to have a restore point created prior to cleaning.

2. When running the System cleaner is "aggressive" mode, it finds a significant number of *.db files that it thinks are Unneeded Temp files that should be deleted. This breaks several programs that use/store important info as .db files. For example, Cyberlink's PowerDVD 19 stores its playlists as .db files that jv16 detect as unneeded in aggressive mode. I recommended that jv16 white list *.db files.

3. Registry Compactor appears to non-existent in the new version.

4. I also very pleased that the program has been trimmed down as for as the number of features and tools...many of which 99% of the clients never or very rarely used. JMO

Do you mean "hangs" as in freezes up forever, or there is a long delay when it attempts to create a System Restore Point?

Noted, thank you!

Indeed, we decided to focus on the most important tools. Other tools maybe added in the future if there is demand for such.

Concerns I’ve found:

The Scanning splash screen shows for 5 or more minutes before actually scanning for errors/leftovers. If this is due to it creating a restore point then the splash screen should say this.

The first time I installed & ran the program it broke Revo uninstaller Pro & JV16 uninstalled itself. I reinstalled both programs & ran JV16 again, this time the scan affected Windows Defender where I have a exclamation icon on it & I cannot open the program. I am currently restoring from a backup.

I’m not running in Aggressive mode.

I’d like to see/add that you’re just informed that the PC needs to be restarted to finish cleaning, this could be improved by adding a restart now button or some emphasis on the message that the users should/can now manually restart the PC, I was waiting for the software to do the restart.

Hangs forever and has to be manually closed. I let it sit for over 30 minutes prior to closing it down.
