Re: How to use graph without getting an extra ALT+TAB window
2 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Thanks for letting us know. It looks like you are using borderless graph (floating window without a title bar). In this mode the graph can incorrectly show up in the Alt+Tab list. This was a bug and we have just fixed it. Please download the updated build and let us know whether it works better for you.

That explains it. The behaviour is as expected when using ExplorerPatcher.
Re: Missing menu "Display Speed in Taskbar"

The option to display the taskbar widget on the right or left is only available when using the stock Windows 11 taskbar. If you are running any third-party taskbar enhancements or replacements, this option will not appear. Could that be the case on your system?

Sorry, we haven't been able to reproduce this issue. Please see the screenshots below for reference. We recommend downloading the latest build to see if it resolves the issue.
Re: How to display taskbar graph without numbers
2 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
If you set the Number of decimals to a custom value, it will apply everywhere in the app, including both graphs and speed reporting. With 3 decimals, the labels naturally become longer, leaving less room for the graph, which may then become hidden. You can increase the size of the graph if you'd like to fit both the longer labels and the graph together. If you prefer to see only the graph w
Truncation of FAT32 volume label in Windows Explorer - Fixed
2 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
The issue has now been resolved, and a new build is available for download. If you are installing it over an existing copy of the RAM Disk app, please note that you will need to reboot twice for the updated driver to be fully replaced and loaded.

Thank you for reporting this. You are right, that's a bug. We'll address it within a few days and also take this opportunity to review the entire formatting code to prevent similar issues. I'll post an update here once it's resolved.
Re: How to disable the new device pop up
3 months ago, by Andrew in WiFi Guard Forum
You're absolutely right: persistent pop-up can be disruptive. However, that behaviour is intentional. WiFi Guard is designed to ensure you are immediately aware of any unknown device on your network, because a quiet notification might be dismissed and a potential intruder could remain undetected. That said, I understand how this can interrupt your workflow and will take your feedback on board for
Column order is not remembered after restart - Fixed
3 months ago, by Andrew in WiFi Guard Forum
The new build of WiFi Guard is now available: The application now retains the user-set column order between sessions. Specific columns can be shown or hidden via the main menu View - Visible Columns. Please download the latest build and let us know if you need more assistance or further details.
Re: Column order is not remembered after restart
3 months ago, by Andrew in WiFi Guard Forum
This is indeed a bug. Regardless of whether it is a portable or installer version, column layouts aren't retained after restarting the app. We are working on a fix to resolve this, and in the same update we will also introduce an option to hide the columns that the user doesn't need. I will post an update here once the new build is ready.
Re: How to disable the new device pop up
3 months ago, by Andrew in WiFi Guard Forum
The pop-ups from WiFi Guard are actually the app doing exactly what it's meant to do: notifying you when an unfamiliar device appears on your network. If you'd prefer fewer notifications, you can turn off Instant detection of new devices under Settings - Advanced - Scanning Options. However, the preferable route is to scan your network, and for each device you recognise (shown in red), double-
Re: Recent NetWorx versions show no traffic when monitoring router using SNMP
3 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
This does look unusual. Since the router details are retrieved successfully, communication via SNMP is clearly working, but for some reason the newer version is not displaying traffic. To investigate further, could you please download snmpwalk and run the following command in a command prompt: snmpwalk -r:192.168.0.1 -os:.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2 -op:.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.3 > output1.txt This will dump t
Re: Feature request: relocate cache with Cache Relocator from any folder to RAM disk
3 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
The Cache Relocator is essentially a convenient wrapper around creating symbolic links. You can achieve the same result without any additional software by opening a Command Prompt and typing: mklink /D "C:\Some\Folder\To\Redirect" "R:\Cache" If you prefer a graphical interface, you might like to try a free tool such as Symbolic11.

No, SoftPerfect RAM Disk does not require the .NET Framework on Windows. It is written in native code and does not use .NET in any way.
Re: How to delay the start of a service until RAM disk has loaded
4 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
There are a few ways to achieve this. The simplest way is to create a RAM disk at computer startup. This typically occurs long before the Service Control Manager begins starting services, so the RAM disk is available for them to use. Alternatively, if you are creating a very large RAM disk (for example, hundreds of gigabytes), it may take longer to initialise. In this case, you can configu
Saving RAM disk data to an image upon entering sleep mode - Implemented

We’ve added the ability to save RAM disk contents to an image file in the latest version of our RAM Disk application. This new option is located under Advanced Disk Properties, as shown in the screenshot below: Due to Windows system limitations, this feature is only available for: RAM disks created at logon, or RAM disks created at startup/boot with Hard Disk Emulation enabled.

Re: Software loses its license and reverts to trial version

Yes, it should work fine. In such case, to prevent the copied file from being overwritten, make sure the RAM Disk app isn't running at that moment: taskkill /F /IM ramdisk.exe
Re: Software loses its license and reverts to trial version
4 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
This issue may be caused by a corrupted or missing configuration file located at: %PROGRAMDATA%\SoftPerfect\RAM Disk\ramdisk.xml Could you please check that file on one of the affected machines? If it's empty, damaged, or missing, the application may not be able to load the licence details and will revert to trial mode. Let me know what you find.
Re: Saving RAM disk data to an image upon entering sleep mode
4 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
Of course in that particular situation, if a power failure occurred immediately after putting your laptop to seep, saving the contents of the RAM disk upon entering sleep mode would preserve the last 5 minutes of data changes. However, what we are trying to emphasise here is that if such power outage occurs in your no-battery no-UPS laptop when it is not asleep, the feature you request will not he
Re: Saving RAM disk data to an image upon entering sleep mode
4 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
Normally, saving to an image file during sleep isn't necessary, as sleep mode doesn't shut the system down. The RAM disk and all its contents remain intact and available when the computer wakes up. Is there a specific reason or scenario where you'd need the disk to be saved during sleep? It's something we could potentially consider implementing.

Sure, that's now done in the latest builds. You can now change the path to Nmap or Python at any time, even if one has already been found.
Re: Widget disappears with "Never Combine" taskbar setting

This likely means your taskbar is full, leaving no space for the NetWorx widget to appear when that setting is used. If that's not the case, please post a screenshot so we can take a closer look.
Version number is reported as "unknown" in Windows WinGet - Fixed
4 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
It looks like the DisplayVersion key wasn't created during installation because the version number was already included in the application display name. We've updated the installer script to include the DisplayVersion key properly, and this will be fixed in future NetWorx releases.
DisplayVersion registry key missing - Resolved
4 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Thank you for pointing this out. It appears the DisplayVersion key wasn't created at all, likely because the version number was included in the application display name instead. We've made a small adjustment to the installer script to address this, and future NetWorx releases will correctly include the DisplayVersion registry key.
Re: How to set Windows 10 page file on a RAM disk

Yes, it can be done. We don't recommend it, bit it does work and survives reboots. We tested it by: Creating a RAM disk (e.g. 4 GB, exFAT, drive R.

You're absolutely right, referencing an application variable from a script didn't resolve nested references to other application or environment variables. This has now been fixed in the latest build. Thanks for pointing it out! By the way, we're working on native Python integration, and it will soon be possible to run Python scripts directly within the app, without relying on VBScript or captur

Re: Wi-Fi 7 warning: use nl80211
5 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
That message just means the app is currently using some older system APIs (called Wireless Extensions) to get Wi-Fi info. These are being phased out and won't be supported on newer Wi-Fi 7 hardware. We're already working on updating the app to use the modern replacement (nl80211), so this will be sorted out in upcoming versions. For now, the warning is harmless and everything should still work
