DPIReaper v1.0.8

DPIReaper v1.0.8

Performance and UI polish release — fixes high idle WebView2 CPU in Settings, enables the reduced-GPU visual profile for all users, and restores the bottom navigation styling.

Downloads

Installer	When to use
DPIReaper_1.0.8_x64-setup.exe	NSIS installer. Recommended for most users.
DPIReaper_1.0.8_x64_en-US.msi	Windows Installer (MSI). Useful for managed environments / Intune deployment.

Highlights

• Settings idle CPU fix — isolated Settings render tree unmounts the heavy main UI; CSS compositor layer explosion removed. Idle renderer CPU in Settings drops from ~8–11% to near-idle (~0–2%) on typical hardware.
• Always-on low-GPU UI — animation-heavy CSS effects are permanently disabled; no user toggle required.
• Bottom navigation restored — opaque bar with backdrop blur (matches pre-optimization styling).
• WebView2 tuning — removed --num-raster-threads=1; dropped unused sync_gpu_prefs / get_windows_os_info IPC commands.
• Overlay optimizations — heartbeat, health checks, and log flush paused while Settings or Logs are open; sidecar log buffering avoids unnecessary React re-renders.
• Source hygiene — inline code comments and developer-facing strings standardized to English; GPU diagnosis notes added to CONTRIBUTING.md.

System requirements

• Windows 10 (1809+) or Windows 11, 64-bit
• ~80 MB resident RAM
• No external drivers (no Npcap / WinPcap / WinDivert)
• Administrator recommended (for system-proxy registry writes and optional Defender exclusion)

DPIReaper v1.0.7

Fix ACL permission errors blocking connect (get_sidecar_config, clear_system_proxy, etc.)

DPIReaper v1.0.6

Fix: Connect broken after autostart fix

Root cause: Run registry launched DPIReaper without admin. Bypass/proxy needs elevation (firewall, WinHTTP, sidecar). Startup worked but Connect did nothing useful.

Changes:

• Autostart now uses Task Scheduler only with \HighestAvailable\ (elevated at logon, 45s delay)
• Removed Run registry launch path (was starting non-elevated instance)
• Auto UAC relaunch when boot started without admin
• Connect button triggers elevation if not admin
• Admin overlay: Restart as administrator button

Upgrade

Install v1.0.6, open Settings, toggle Start at boot off/on once to recreate the scheduled task.

DPIReaper v1.0.5

Boot autostart fix

• Removes Run as administrator compatibility flag (\RUNASADMIN) that silently blocks startup (error 0x800702E4)
• Task Scheduler task recreated via XML: 45s logon delay, battery restrictions off, working directory set
• Clears RUNASADMIN on app launch and when toggling autostart

If autostart still fails

Open exe Properties → Compatibility and ensure Run as administrator is unchecked.

DPIReaper v1.0.4

Fix

• Startup disabled bug: StartupApproved was written as \

DPIReaper v1.0.3

Critical fixes

• Autostart toggle now works (Tauri ACL permissions were missing for custom commands)
• Boot autostart uses Run registry + StartupApproved enabled flag + Task Scheduler (30s delay after logon)
• Update notification uses Rust GitHub API check (reliable; no CSP/fetch issues)
• Fixed startup logic that could disable autostart when registry was set but config was out of sync

Upgrade

Install over v1.0.0 / v1.0.1 / v1.0.2. Then open Settings and toggle Start at boot off and on once.

DPIReaper v1.0.2

Bug fix: Windows autostart at boot

• Native registry autostart replaces tauri-plugin-autostart
• Writes StartupApproved flag (0x03) so Windows actually launches the app at login
• Sets working directory to the install folder on boot
• Re-applies registry on every app launch (self-heal)

Upgrade

Download and run the installer over v1.0.0 / v1.0.1. Then toggle Start at boot off and on once, or reinstall with the startup checkbox checked.

DPIReaper v1.0.1

What's new in v1.0.1

• Installer: "Start DPIReaper when Windows starts" checkbox on the finish page (enabled by default)
• Update notification: App checks GitHub Releases on launch and prompts you to download when a newer version is available
• Autostart reliability: Self-heal on Windows so startup registration survives the known Tauri registry bug
