TrueStretch 1.1.1 — fixes "nothing happens when I open it"

Download TrueStretch.exe — Windows 10 / 11. Your settings, accounts and backups are kept.

What was wrong

On some PCs, double-clicking TrueStretch 1.1.0 did nothing. Microsoft Defender's machine-learning check blocked it as Program:Win32/Contebrew.A!ml — a false positive (!ml means a model's guess, not a known threat; Program: is the "unwanted program" category, not malware).

The cause: TrueStretch is one .exe that unpacked its program into the Temp folder on every start and launched it from there. That pattern is what Defender's model flags.

What changed

  • TrueStretch now unpacks once into its own folder, %LOCALAPPDATA%\TrueStretch\<version>, and reuses it. Defender accepts this — tested with real double-click launches and Defender's own scanner, with no detections.
  • It starts faster, because nothing is unpacked again on later starts.
  • Old versions' folders are removed automatically after an update.

If 1.1.0 is blocked on your PC

A blocked 1.1.0 can't start, so it can't update itself. Download 1.1.1 above and replace the old file. Optional: in Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Protection history you can remove the old "Contebrew" entry.

Everything from 1.1.0 is included: Optimize Max, the new layout and the VALORANT-style design — see the 1.1.0 notes.
