Executables on RAM FS drive cannot be opened - Fixed   02 August 2026, 22:27

This issue affected only executables that require administrator privileges and a UAC prompt. It has been fixed in RAM File System v26.8.

Please download the latest version. After installing the update, reboot your PC to ensure the new driver is loaded.

Thanks for reporting such issues and helping us improve the product.
Thank you for the quick update. Executables now open with v26.8.
