OK. The issues with translations and system cleaner results (right clicking items and search (flickering)) seem to be fixed now.

Question: after system cleaning scan, the colored "bar" doesn't show anymore. The results list is showing immediately. Is this by new design?

However the Software Uninstaller is now running since many minutes and doesn't finish. The "progress circle" stays at 10%. I'll have to abort it manually.

I'll send you the zip file with debug log data. Edit: the link to the file is send by PM.

Notice: Initial Setup ends very fast (too fast?). I wonder if something gets wrong with caches.

Edit: I cleared the caches and Initital Setup ran again. No luck: same issue with Software Uninstaller as explained above. There's something wrong with that tool, at least at my system. With the builds before the 2 last ones I had no problem with it.

Settings > System Cleaner

I noticed that the list with "allowed Domains" is staying empty. Is this normal?

In previous builds that list contained many items.

I am sorry to say, but I am experiencing exactly the same, on both quotes!

Better yet, the Software Uninstaller already went haywire in PT v5.0.0.668!

Hi,

It feels like it takes "forever" to startup jv16 PowerTools v5.0.0.675.

On my system (see signature area) it takes on average15 seconds to show the main window.

- about 4 sec. of nothing until the startup-screen pops-up;

- about 2 sec. showing only "The program is starting"';

- about 7 sec. showing "Initializing...";

- about 1 sec. showing "Loading data...";

- about 1 sec. showing "Done".

As I said, it feels like a long time, doesn't it? :

BTW, this was also the case in the previous builds 608 and 668.

@ redseusac

Oops, you're right.... my bad!

Hi,

Observation: System Cleaner hangs on 99% for about 2 minutes before it finally ends.

Correction: System Cleaner SEEMS to hang on 99% for about 2 minutes... Task Management shows plenty of activity...!

Software Uninstaller issue

It looks like the tool goes into an endless loop after reaching a certain point (10% ?)...

System Cleaner slow

On my system (not one of the slowest systems - see signature) the System Cleaner scan - with all checkboxes checked - takes 300 sec and even more to finish.

That's not very fast :

Without Browser categories checked/selected: about 60 seconds.

How to explain that difference of 240 seconds? :?

Language tool issue

Sometimes after starting jv16 Powertools, the Language tool is missing in the system menu (see screenshot). This happens both in the Custom system menu and the default system menu. You have to click on e.g. Settings to bring the Language tool back.

Is this by design or an issue?

This is on Windows 10x64 Pro Build 19041.329 Version 2004.

The "Add to Ignore list" option is no longer available. Plus it appears that some items in the ignore list are not honored.

siliconman01

In my opinion, Build 5.0.0.675 is significantly dangerous without the ability to add items to the Ignore List and with the lack of certain honoring elements that are already in the ignore list.

In addition it is a bit spooky that the GUI when running System Cleaner scan shows 250-300 items found when the scan is 99% complete and then only displays a 20-30 items when the scan is completed. The user has to wonder if jv16 is going to delete a bunch of items "behind the scenes" that aren't being displayed in the final summary. This anomaly started with build 668.

ngc94227

This is correct. On my system 837 items where found (most of them are browser-related), and after finishing there were 130 left????

Kind regards, ngc

P.S. Redseujac stated that on his fast machine the System Cleaner Scan took about 300 sec.

On my system (which is somewhat slower), it takes about 45 seconds. So I don´t know whats happening on his system.

When scanning for Browser cookies, Browser history and Browser cache data for Chrome and Firefox is not selected/checked the scan finishes in about 60 seconds. I don't understand why it takes 240 seconds more when those items are selected yet.

Yes, this is by design. It's in the Change Log under improvements:

15) The System Cleaner's scan report is now disabled (no longer shown), until we complete its redesign.

Debug data received, thank you very much! It indeed seems that there is a bug relating to the Software Uninstaller scan. It's a rare bug, as we have not seen this in our test systems.

I checked your Initial Setup data. It's all good, it now runs this fast. We spent a lot of time making the Initial Setup run a lot faster. On average, it now takes between 30 and 40 seconds to run, while before (with build 608) it was between one and two minutes.
