WinMedic v0.12.0

Physician, heal thyself. A check or a repair that crashes no longer takes the
window with it, and when WinMedic crashes, its next start offers once to send
a report. The WinSxS check works again while Windows waits for a restart after
an update.


New

  • Crash reports: if WinMedic crashed, its next start says "WinMedic ran
    into an error of its own last time.", with Send report and Dismiss.
    Send report first shows the report, with your user name, your computer's
    name and your user folder replaced, since it becomes a public issue. Open
    on GitHub
    opens the bug report form filled in, and you post it or not.
    Save to file is for sending it another way. Nothing leaves your PC without
    a click. Each crash is offered once, crashes Windows logged included.
  • Crash logs: when WinMedic crashes, it writes down what it was doing in
    %APPDATA%\WinMedic\logs. The newest five stay.

Fixed

  • A check or a repair that crashes no longer closes the window and ends
    the scan with it. It is reported as failed ("The check stopped
    unexpectedly"), and the rest of the scan or of the repair run goes on. The
    download is about 4 MB larger for it.
  • When the window itself crashes, a message says so instead of the window
    just disappearing.
  • The WinSxS check while Windows waits for a restart: DISM then ends its
    analysis with the code for "restart needed", which WinMedic took for a
    failure, so the WinSxS finding was missing until the restart. Up to 0.10.1
    the scan also waited two minutes for DISM there.
  • A headless run that crashes ends with exit code 5 ("internal error"),
    not 101.
