Hello everyone

A new feature ?
See capture

For those with English language version.

Seems a strange one this - I would have thought all https traffic would have been scanned - a definition of what Uncommon Applications are might have helped.

There are still several questions about that feature from the 24.5 thread that remain unanswered. May you answer them here, please?

I'm going to wait a few days before I update.

I'm going to wait a few days before I update.

Generally I have mine set to Manual Program Update, this update however is generally bug fixes, so I have manually updated.
If you aren't currently experiencing any bugs/issues, just keep monitoring the forums.

With all those big fixes have they fixed the issue with not being able to restore quarantine files on a dual boot system?

Sure would be nice to see actual bugs addressed instead of just saying bug fixes.

The General Settings>Update>UI tells me that currently installed application update 24.6.6121 3July2024 is available.  This is very puzzling.

Same here received today 26/7/24
i know they stagger updates depending where in the world you are.

[Dinobot2]

Same on my end since at least yesterday.

Whilst the version number may be the same, has the build number changed ?

I have program updates set to Manual so I don't get any notification unless I go looking for it. For me when displayed the build number is the very slightly higher than that installed.  Check my forum below my posts (I haven't initiated the my forum signature). This could be a bug fix.
