Compatibility notes:

Is it possible to switch back the option to share the <All Drivers> manually now again?

If i press "Check for updates" button in 7.3.1 (Windows 64bit standalone) it says "No update available"

I can't install 7.4.0 x64 on my win7 64bit.

That is very strange because I built it on Windows 7 myself, and I tried downloading it and it runs for me. Can you try re-downloading it? Maybe from another source like SourceForge?

@SubJunk, the installer from sourceforge worked, thank you

hi subjunk thanks for the release i'll test out on the ps4 pro media player to give some feedback.


have a nice weekend and god bless.

Cool Can you please re-download from Fosshub to see if it was just a problem with a bad download or if the file is bad on there? Or did the bad download come from using the automatic downloader?

Mine was broken from automatic downloader, the startup screen would appear there all the time, even after reboot.

Had to download manuel, used fosshub none standalone, works now.

Hmm, it appears this new version has triggered a trojan warning on Windows Defender. False flag?
