Re: Computer lost power and now Windows will not load
today, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
The ntbtlog.txt file, which is generated when you enable the boot log using bcdedit /set {current} bootlog yes, can be found in the following location after a reboot: C:\Windows\ntbtlog.txt If the file is not present or doesn't contain useful information, your system may be corrupted, and you might need to reset the BIOS or reinstall Windows. Here is a list of additional troubleshooting steps y

Great, thanks for letting us know! Anyway, NetWorx will now respect any custom font settings in the applications view and popups.
Re: Computer lost power and now Windows will not load
yesterday, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
If a power outage occurred during system shutdown, it's likely that some essential system files were damaged, which is why Windows is booting into recovery mode. However, it's unlikely that the RAM Disk itself is responsible for preventing Windows from loading, as the RAM disk does not store persistent system-critical files like those required for booting. Here are a few points you can consider

Re: How to increase text size in Applications window
yesterday, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
This is quite unusual, and we are not sure why the Applications window isn't scaling up as expected in your case. However, as a workaround and improvement, we have updated NetWorx so that the application view and popups now respect custom font settings, as shown in the screenshot below. Please download the new build and let me know how it works for you. If the fonts are still small, you can ma
Re: How to increase text size in Applications window

What happens if you change the DPI scaling to 200% or 250% and restart your computer? Do the fonts in the application list remain small, or do they scale up as expected? Also, how does the rest of the NetWorx interface look for you, such as the Settings window? Does it scale properly, or does it stay small as well?

Could you let me know what your system DPI settings are? The application is designed to scale automatically based on your system settings, including DPI, so it should adjust with the rest of your system fonts. Here's a screenshot showing how it should appear.
Re: del:all command not working

The /del:all command is only supported in the RAM Disk GUI application (ramdisk.exe). It is not supported in the command-line version (ramdiskc.exe). In this case, a specific drive letter is required.

This is likely because %1 is substituted with a shared folder. If you select only a device and not one of its shared folders, this item won't appear. Try right-clicking a shared folder, and all three menu items should be visible.
Re: Feature request: Two quotas at the same time
19 days ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Currently, NetWorx supports only a single quota at a time. However, you can set a monthly quota and configure warnings at 25%, 50%, and 75%, which would roughly align with weekly usage. We appreciate your suggestion and will consider it for future updates.

You can still create a Dev Drive by creating a VHD file and storing it on a RAM disk formatted as exFAT or NTFS. Keep in mind that you'll need a RAM disk of at least 50 GB, as that is the minimum size required for a Dev Drive. Microsoft suggests that Dev Drives are best suited for: Source code repositories and project files Build output and intermediate files Package caches Additionally, M
Re: Possible taskbar bug in v7.2
23 days ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Thanks for the additional feedback. It's a bit puzzling that we're seeing different results - disabling small taskbar buttons resolved the issue on my end, but it persists for you. This could be due to differences in Windows or Open Shell builds. We'll keep this in mind and look into the issue further if time permits. I appreciate your understanding and willingness to work around it. If any
Re: Possible taskbar bug in v7.2

We were able to replicate the problem when both Open Shell is installed and small taskbar buttons are enabled. While this does appear to be a bug, it seems to occur only under these specific conditions. We strive to support third-party taskbar extensions as much as possible, but occasional conflicts like this can arise. Unfortunately, the underlying cause is unclear and would require significan

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad to hear that the forum has been helpful in your journey to understanding RAM disks. Regarding your question about NUMA mode: yes, you're correct. NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) is only relevant to systems with multiple physical processors, where memory is divided between the processors. It doesn't apply to typical multi-core processors found in most PCs tod

Currently ReFS isn't supported as a file system and, generally speaking, it isn't a good choice for several reasons: Overhead and Complexity: ReFS is designed to handle large volumes, data integrity, and high resilience, which introduces additional overhead. For a RAM disk, which is typically used for high-speed temporary storage, this overhead is unnecessary and can negatively impact performanc

Re: Cannot detect router after upgrade to Windows 11 Pro
4 weeks ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Generally it shouldn't matter whether you're using Windows 10, Windows 11, or even a different operating system, as the router monitoring is implemented independently of the OS. If it doesn't detect your router, my best guess would be a firewall issue, whether it's Windows Firewall or a third-party one if you have it installed. Please try disabling the firewall if you have one. Another poss

There isn't a direct method within our software to test the bandwidth between two computers. It's generally not possible to measure bandwidth without having software installed on both PCs. You can use tools like iPerf for command-line testing, or if you prefer graphical interfaces, tools like JPerf (a GUI for iPerf) or NetStress might be helpful.

Re: Speed numbers/text shifted beyond the taskbar boundary
7 weeks ago, by Andrew in NetGenius Forum
Sorry, this doesn't seem fixable. A custom start button makes no difference, but letting Start11 enhance the taskbar indeed removes the NetGenius graph. It looks like this happens because in this mode Start11 actively repositions all subwindows on the taskbar, and the graph is simply discarded as it's not a part of the taskbar.

Re: Graphs borders after disabling window title bar
2 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
This is unfortunately how it's implemented within the GUI framework we are using. If a window does not have a title bar, it does not have any borders either. Changing this requires altering the framework's code, and that's not something that can be easily done.
Re: RAM disk has DRIVE_FIXED drive type

Most RAM disk applications for Windows create disks of type DRIVE_FIXED instead of DRIVE_RAMDISK for several reasons: Compatibility: Many applications and system processes expect fixed disks (DRIVE_FIXED) and may not function correctly or may not recognise RAM disks (DRIVE_RAMDISK). By using DRIVE_FIXED, RAM disk applications ensure broader compatibility with the software that might not be desig

Re: How to save/remember the IP range for future scans
3 months ago, by Andrew in Switch Port Mapper Forum
The Port Mapper application prompts you for an IP address range because your computer has multiple IP addresses configured on its network interfaces, and the software does not know which network would be the correct one to resolve MAC addresses to IP addresses. However, as an improvement, in the latest build we have just added a tickbox that will remember your choice until the application is re

I am not quite sure. Most likely when you reset the statistics, the data exposed via SNMP is either not updated, or updated with a delay (say once a minute). You can test it any SNMP browser, like SnmpB. Enter your switch's IP address and community and walk down the ifEntry OID. It will then display all the current interface details and statistics:
