DesktopTools 1.1.0

DesktopTools 1.1.0

This update makes DesktopTools easier to use in your Windows language and clarifies recording and update controls. Existing notes, settings and recordings are preserved during an update.

What's new

• On a fresh install, setup and the app start in the supported language closest to your Windows display language. Setup includes a language picker; changing the app language later restarts it to apply the selection throughout the interface.
• Setup, first-run screens and additional interface messages have expanded translations for German, Spanish, French and Russian.
• The recorder places its source and preview controls together and keeps start, pause, stop, timer and status in a dedicated control area.
• The Updates page shows installed and available versions more clearly. Automatic checks can now run every 15 or 30 minutes, or every 2 or 3 hours, alongside the existing intervals.
• Installer text, recording dependency guidance and other controls have clearer spacing and focus behavior.

Downloads

• DesktopTools-1.1.0-win-x64-setup.exe — recommended per-user installer.
• DesktopTools-1.1.0-win-x64-portable.zip — self-contained portable build.

Windows 11 x64 is required. Screen recording also requires Microsoft Visual C++ x64 Redistributable and Windows Media Foundation; setup offers the official Microsoft download page if the Visual C++ runtime is missing. The binaries are unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may prompt. Compare your download with SHA256SUMS.txt on this release.

Capture exclusion depends on the receiving application's capture method. Mixed-DPI hardware, long recordings and real-device audio synchronization still need broader testing; see compatibility notes.
