[1.3] 😤 New Feature - Now detects many COM handler actions

  • Can now detect many types of custom actions that are Com Handlers, like those that call functions in DLLs.

Example of all the new tasks detected on my machine after this update

(They seem to all be for Windows itself but still)

Minor Version Changes

🟢 1.3.0 → 1.3.1:

  • Add support for "AppID" and "LocalServer32" type COM Handlers in scheduled tasks
  • Add "Copy Detals" context menu option
  • Now shows additional info in Details menu for COM handlers, including associated registry keys

⬇️ For Downloads, see "Assets" section below

  • For Portable version, download the .exe file
  • For Installer, download the .msi file (can be updated in the future via winget)

[1.2] 🧐 Improved Repeated Task Detection

  • Still as in version 1.1.0, detects when a task has a base type that doesn't inherently repeat, but has a secondary "reptition" property.
    • But now properly detects "retired" tasks that will never run again and ignores them
  • Shows more fine grained info about "Daily" tasks which might actually repeat every several days
  • Now also shows reptition intervals in addition to standard types, so you'll know for example, if the trigger is "Daily" but then also repeats every hour (which is what Google Chrome updater does)

Examples:

Minor Tweaks

  • Now rounds time frames to one decimal instead of saying Every 1.555 hours for example
  • Removed arbitrary 26 hour max limit on showing repeating triggers. Now just shows you anything actively repeating and you can decide.
  • Changed notification message box to use an info icon instead of warning to be less dramatic. Still has the yellow bar for attention.

[1.1] 😤 New Feature - Detect Repeated Tasks Regardless of "Base Type"

  • Now detects when a task has a base type that doesn't inherently repeat, but has a secondary "reptition" property.
  • Checks for reptitions less than 26 hours

Example: This task says it runs "One Time" but then repeats every 3 hours!

This is now detected, and even tells you how often:

Minor Version Changes

🟢 1.1.1 → 1.1.2:

  • Removed "source" column from main window list view, since it's only a guess. Still shows in Details view of each item and in the "All" windows. Also now consistently labelled as "(guess)" everywhere.
  • Adjusted table title/label to say it's the latest added items, not just one ones added since last check
  • Details windows no longer plays a sound every time you open one
  • Added right click menu option to see item details, in addition to double clicking

⬇️ For Downloads, see "Assets" section below

  • For Portable version, download the .exe file
  • For Installer, download the .msi file (can be updated in the future via winget)
