Task Explorer v1.6.0

This update introduces significant enhancements, bringing the tool in line with modern requirements by incorporating many previously missing features from SystemInformer. Most notably, this release marks the first version with a fully signed driver, making TaskExplorer ready for professional production use.

Key improvements include expanded security options and enhanced process control features like freezing processes and adjusting efficiency modes. Several panels, including memory, services, modules, and threads, now provide additional columns and insights, while menus have been reorganized for better usability. The config folder has also been relocated to C:\Users[User]\AppData\Local\Xanasoft\TaskExplorer for improved integration with other Xanasoft Tools.

Numerous bugs have been resolved, and PHlib has been updated to version 3.2.25011 to ensure stability and compatibility. For a complete list of changes, please refer to the full changelog.

Task Explorer v1.5.6

In the latest release, version 1.5.6, several key updates and changes were made to improve overall functionality and performance. One of the notable adjustments is that Task Explorer (TE) no longer lists mounted VHD/VHDX files as disks, focusing solely on real hardware. This change aims to streamline disk management and ensure the system resources are utilized more efficiently by disregarding virtual drives. Additionally, the PHlib library has been updated to version 3.1.24258, continuing the effort to maintain compatibility with the latest technology and ensuring smooth operation.
