Yes it can

If you hadn’t read it here would you have noticed, many wouldn’t.

Probably for many agreed, however I keep a count of ‘startup enties’ and noticed right off that some were missing. The issue was figuring out which ones.
Took a little time.

David has a point here : Many WinPatrol users will have a corrupted installation now, withought even knowing it :-\

Greetz, Red.

OT:- I didn’t do July image backup after I’ve install the MS update patch sooner, never mind I kept an image backup of June man I worried about WinPatrol since Bill is gone.

Any way let all get back to UPDATES topic :wink: while I’ll try and keep my cool ::slight_smile:

I also installed the latest WinPatrol version and then noticed items missing from my startup list in “System Configuration”. I had a suspicion that it was due to the new WP version, and decided to do a system restore.
Now I see everyone else has the same issue.
I wonder if it corrupted anything else in addition to the startup items in the registry.
I guess I’ll just be doing a system restore and stay content with the older stable version (In this case, the saying “If it’s not broken don’t fix it” comes to mind).

OT:- @Ehmen

I’m not using the latest version of WinPatrol I would wait a while longer before the next release, as I’m currently using v33.5.2015.12 until further issue is resolved it seem you’ve been screwed again from the latest release v33.6.2015.17

WinPatol v33.6.2015.17 is the latest release and is the FIX to the botched v.33.6.2015.16

I have not had, and am NOT having any issues with the latest version of WinPatrol.

I think something like this should warrant an announcement somehow via email/Winpatrol Web page
I personally haven’t found anything on the Website. :-\

I think it’s something you should let Bret at Winpatrol know about. I’m sure it isn’t anything Avast would be doing. :slight_smile:

I have no doubt many users will have.

This is very interesting :

“Canvas anti-fingerprinting option: Pale Moon now includes the option to make canvas fingerprinting much more difficult. By setting the about:config preference canvas.poisondata to true, any data read back from canvas surfaces will be “poisoned” with humanly-imperceptible data changes. By default this is off, because it has a large performance impact on the routines reading this data.”

You are sure ?

I just updated to V33.6.2015.17 and immediately noticed that 2 items listed in Scheduled Tasks 1.0 are missing now.
I also posted about it on LandzDown forum http://www.landzdown.com/winpatrol-help-information/winpatrol-v33-6-2015-16-is-available/msg178123/#msg178123

Greetz, Red.

Yup Red, for me I’m sure.
Just stated my own experience. :wink:

As far as I’m aware it doesn’t retrospectively restore registry entries that were removed, only reinstates the Run entry, not run commands that were in it.

We found the bug in the installer, fixed it and ran some tests. I have since posted a replacement for build 33.6.2015.16. The fix will recreate the Run key, but regrettably cannot recreated any lost entries. To do that may require re-installation of the affected software.

Since you didn’t have the 33.6.2015.16 update installed I would have expected 33.6.2015.17 to take no Run key fix/action.

I just wonder if the fix to retrospectively restore the Run key would overwrite the Original Run key ending up with an empty Run key.

That said if the fix was to restore the Run key, then I would have expected the fix to check for the presence of a Run key and not overwrite it ???

@ David

Of cource I have checked the issue with the run key.
And from the path listed by Bret on LandzDown, everything was still there after updating.
But I went back to my image, and will stay with v33.6.2015.1 for now, because of the Scheduled Tasks issue.
I have simply too many doubts about this ( and previous ) build(s).

Greetz, Red.

P.S. Attached a screenshot of the 2 missing Scheduled Tasks items in v33.6.2015.17 .

+1 Me too :wink:
