Re: Adding AnyDesk as a third-party network application

I/O redirection with the "|" character would not work without a console. You should change your command to this: cmd.exe /c echo test | "C:\Program Files (x86)\AnyDesk\AnyDesk.exe" %0 --with-password
Re: Speed numbers/text shifted beyond the taskbar boundary
10 days 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.

Thank you for reporting this issue. It turned out to be a bug that was accidentally introduced when we made the Wake-on-LAN manager resizeable. Please download the new build, replace your installation, and the issue should be resolved.
Re: Graphs borders after disabling window title bar
4 weeks 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
5 weeks ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
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
6 weeks 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
Re: Errors and Discards columns are not refreshed
6 weeks ago, by Andrew in Switch Port Mapper Forum
Sorry, that's not something we can reproduce. Any displayed information is not cached or stored in a database, so a rescan should always fetch the latest data. Here, I have scanned a NAS device that had a number of recorded discards on its port eth0: Then, I rebooted the device to clear the counters, rescanned it again, and the counters have been reset: Perhaps you could try rest
Re: Errors and Discards columns are not refreshed

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:

The latest builds support the /mpass:somepassword command line switch. We will add it to the documentation later on. Therefore, if the config file is encrypted, you need to pass along /mpass:somepassword to decrypt it without a user prompt.
Re: Speed Meter button is disabled (greyed out)

Unfortunately, yes, the only way to get the speed meter to work again is to update to the latest version. Please check the period of included updates in the application's About window. If your updates have expired, you will need to renew your licence to use the latest version. There is a 50% discount on licence renewals. If you can't find a special link within the app, please drop us a lin

Thank you for reporting this issue. It appears that CloudFlare has enforced the use of SSL (HTTPS) for speed testing. We have just updated NetWorx so that it will use HTTPS for speed testing from now on. Please download the latest build from NetWorx homepage and install it over your current installation. Speed testing should then work fine again.

Re: Application usage reports by email

It's hard to say why it stops working after several days. But when it happens, you can open the email settings and send a test email, as shown below. If there is an error message, it might suggest what's wrong. Unfortunately, there is no way to set a specific time for generating email reports. They are always generated at midnight, when the current day ends.
Re: How to access NetWorx menu and Application Usage Reports
2 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Left-clicking on the NetWorx notification area icon will display the current state of NetWorx (that's what you are currently opening). Right-clicking on the NetWorx notification area icon will bring up a menu that provides access to all the application features. Therefore you simply need to click the NetWorx icon with the right mouse button.
Re: Why are remote shared folders listed for IP but not for computer name?
3 months ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum
It's difficult to pinpoint why this occurs, but it seems that if a PC is already connected by name, Windows may refuse to fetch its shares by IP address. You could try a simple workaround: navigate to Options > Shares > Method and switch it to the SMB2 library, as illustrated below: In this scenario, Network Scanner will utilise its own implementation of SMB and will not depend on
Re: Gap between Windows 11 taskbar and the transfer rate popup
3 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
This is, unfortunately, a bug in Windows that only manifests itself on systems equipped with a touch screen, such as the Surface. For some reason, in these cases, Windows incorrectly determines the taskbar size, resulting in a portion of it overlapping with the desktop. This issue can be easily observed by launching the Snipping Tool, setting the Capture Mode to Window Mode, and then clicking o

This simply indicates that the bottleneck is not related to disk I/O. For instance, if you wish to compare the pure disk performance, you could utilise Crystal Disk Mark to assess both your SSD and your RAM disk. It is likely that you will observe a significant performance difference between the two. However, when it comes to inserting 300K records, the bottleneck likely lies elsewhere. Possibl
Re: How to suppress the "try again?" prompt in Speed Meter

The solution is not to leave the Speed Meter window open overnight. In this case the tests will continue to run in the background, and if the window is not open, no messages will be displayed.

The issue might stem from how the VBA script processes data. Notably, when data was pre-loaded into an array for processing, performance improvements were observed, suggesting the bottleneck could be tied to inefficient data handling by the script. Therefore, optimizing the script's data management and processing methods could mitigate some performance issues, rather than focusing solely on enhanc
Re: Automatic deletion of files in a RAM Disk folder
4 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
It sounds like you want to use a RAM disk in a way that essentially doesn't retain files, effectively copying them to a "black hole" where they're immediately discarded. This might be useful in certain scenarios, such as testing file transfer speeds without actually storing the data, or perhaps when working with sensitive data that shouldn't be written to disk due to security policies.

Currently, we don't provide native packages for Arch Linux, so you will need to convert the DEB or RPM package to a format compatible with Arch. A great tool for converting .deb packages to Arch Linux package format is debtap. Debtap can convert Debian, Ubuntu, and related distributions' packages into Arch Linux packages, making them installable using the Arch package manager (pacman). Here'

Re: Please confirm I set it up correctly
4 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
Everything appears correct to me. What you have created is a persistent RAM disk, the contents of which are read from the IMG file on startup, and any modifications made are written back to the file upon shutdown. This can be utilized for various purposes, including as a cache for MS Flight Simulator. There is no need to mount the image file separately; this is only necessary if you wish to ac
Re: RAM disk and Windows hybrid boot
4 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
When you restart the computer, Windows does not use the Hybrid Startup feature. A restart initiates a full shutdown and reboot process, which includes reinitialising the hardware and system kernel. This is why a restart can sometimes take longer than starting the computer from a shutdown. The full reboot process ensures that all drivers and system components are reinitialised, which can be useful
