FileLocker 1.3.0.0

FileLocker 1.3.0.0 improves System Care workflows, Explorer right-click integration, free-space wiping, and app polish while keeping the app local-first. Files, settings, cleanup scans, encryption, hashing, metadata review, and secure-delete operations stay on your Windows PC.

What's New Since 1.2.2.1

  • Added a FileLocker right-click menu inside the app. Right-clicking no longer shows the default WebView/browser menu; it now offers useful actions such as copy, paste, select field text, clear fields, open Settings, open the Security Guide, return Home, or reload the interface.
  • Added Recycle Bin Explorer integration. When Explorer integration is enabled, the Windows Recycle Bin gets a Shred with FileLocker action that opens a focused Recycle Bin cleanup flow in FileLocker.
  • Improved Recycle Bin cleanup. FileLocker now attempts a 3-pass overwrite of current Recycle Bin files where Windows allows it, then empties the Recycle Bin and offers a handoff to the Free-Space Sanitizer for already-deleted traces.
  • Reworked Partition Cleaner into a clearer Free-Space Sanitizer flow with drive selection, media guidance, estimated write volume, HDD duration estimates, confirmation prompts, live progress, elapsed time, pass status, cancellation, and final reporting.
  • Improved free-space wipe reliability. Long-running wipes now continue to report status instead of appearing stuck, and cancellation or app shutdown attempts to stop cipher.exe and report cleanup status for leftover temporary wipe files.
  • Added smarter drive media detection for System Care pages. FileLocker now reports HDD, SSD, removable, mixed, or unknown media more clearly, including better handling for NVMe-backed SSD volumes.
  • Added clearer SSD and removable-drive warnings before free-space wiping, since TRIM and wear leveling can limit overwrite reliability and add unnecessary writes.
  • Made Explorer integration enabled by default for new installs while preserving an existing user's explicit opt-out.
  • Added administrator relaunch behavior on startup. FileLocker asks for administrator mode when launched normally, but continues to open if the UAC prompt is declined.
  • Added accent color settings so highlights, buttons, and navigation can use a selected app accent.
  • Polished System Care screens with denser review tables, clearer filters, safer destructive-action confirmations, administrator prompts, and stronger status/report panels.

Notes

  • Free-space wiping and secure delete are best-effort. They are generally more predictable on traditional hard drives than on SSDs or flash storage.
  • Some System Care actions require administrator mode because Windows protects the target locations.
  • Declining the administrator prompt does not stop FileLocker from opening; features that need elevation will still ask you to relaunch as administrator.
  • Existing FileLocker user data remains under local app data during normal upgrades.

Release Validation

This release was built and checked with the frontend production build, release app build, release test suite, Inno Setup compile, installer checksum generation, and FileLocker release gate.
