WinKillSwitch 0.4
Everything planned for this round, finished and tested together. If you are coming from v0.1, here is what you get.
Clean up
- Memory cleaner (v0.2): a live memory ring and one button. It trims what apps are not using, clears the standby cache and shows exactly what it freed.
- Disk cleaner (v0.3): analyze temporary files, caches and leftovers, review the list, clean in one step. It never follows links, keeps files from the last week and skips anything in use.
- Why is my PC slow? (v0.3.7): five seconds of watching, then a plain answer with the fix one click away.
Understand
- About this process (v0.3.1): what it is, who signed it, and why access may be denied.
- More columns (v0.3.2): type, status, publisher, command line, GPU, GPU engine and now network (v0.3.11). Right click the header to choose.
- Find by window (v0.3.3), quick palette with Ctrl+K or Ctrl+Shift+K from anywhere (v0.3.4), process tree (v0.3.5).
- Who is using this file? (v0.3.6): drop a file to see which apps hold it open.
- Starts with Windows (v0.3.10): every autostart entry in one read-only list, with unusual ones flagged.
Control
- New process alerts (v0.3.8): hear about programs you watch, or anything started from Downloads or Temp.
- Limits (v0.3.9): cap a program's processor and memory use; it keeps running.
- Rule packs (v0.3.12): Gaming mode, Bloat blocker and Quiet laptop in one switch, plus import and export.
New in this release
- On narrow windows the process table hides its least important columns instead of spilling past the edge, and the toolbar no longer overlaps.
Still to come
Ending processes, the PauseSwitch system changes, and signed releases. See the roadmap.
