jv16 PowerTools 5.0.0.845
  • Fixes:
  • Running the System Cleaner can damage Mozilla Firefox or Mozilla Thunderbird products. This only occurs in some systems, but we wanted to release a fix for the issue as fast as possible nevertheless. A simple reinstall of the mentioned products solves the problem, or restoring the System Restore Point jv16 PowerTools automatically created before the cleaning.
  • The Initial Setup can fail with an error message of Access Violation. This is a very rare bug, but now also fixed.
  • Improvements:
  • Speed improvements to the Initial Setup, Software Uninstaller and Software Updater scans.

New in jv16 PowerTools 5.0.0.832 (October 8, 2020)

jv16 PowerTools 5.0.0.939
November 12, 2020
  • Improvements:
  • Major accuracy improvements to the Initial Setup, System Cleaner, Software Uninstaller and Software Updater scans.
  • The Use Custom Main Menu option will now be disabled by default on systems with multiple monitors. This feature doesn't work properly on systems with multiple monitors, this is a quick workaround until we have a proper fix.
  • The program will now detect if major changes have been made to the system since the Initial Setup was originally run and it will be run again to ensure the most accurate analysis of the system.
  • Pressing Ctrl + A while a tool's result filter is active now selects the filter text, instead of selecting all of the result list items.
  • The Languages menu and the Tools menu are now hidden from the main menu while the tool is scanning. Previously, one could change the language of the program during scanning, which made the scanning stop as the program needs to restart for the language change.

jv16 PowerTools 6.0.0.1120
March 25, 2021
  • Fixes:
  • Fix: Running the System Cleaner scan or fixing could cause the program to quit without an error message, or freeze. This was a rare issue, only happening to about one in one hundred users.
  • Fix: If there are no software requiring update, the Update button is not visible in Software Updater. This leaves only the Uninstall button visible, and it can be rather confusing why a tool called Software Updater only has an Uninstall button an no Update button. From now on, both buttons will be visible in the Software Updater, and clicking the Update button will display an error message if there is nothing to update.
  • Fix: If using the classic window menu (Settings > General Settings > Use custom system menu for the main program window), some of the Tools menu buttons do not work.
  • Fix: If the program starts in Chinese system, the Chinese translation is not automatically selected by the program.
  • Fix: Some parts of the user interface are always in English, i.e. they cannot not be translated via the translation files.
  • Fix: The program can entirely freeze up if a message box is displayed at a very specific time. This is a very rare bug which is caused by a race condition. Very specific conditions have to occur of this to show up, but if it does occur, it will freeze up the entire program and the program must be closed forcefully.
  • Fix: The Settings window displays the options to enable or disable the result list filtering. However, this feature is not yet fully implemented, and therefore not available. Fixed by hiding these settings for now.
  • Fix: The Initial Setup / Splash Screen or the actual app main window can show up with some elements, such as the window border or the top bar buttons not fully drawn. This was entirely a cosmetic problem, but fixed now nevertheless.
  • Fix: Under some circumstances, the font sizes in the Initial Setup screen could be inconstant with some texts using slight bigger font than other texts. Purely a cosmetic issue.
  • Fix: The Settings window still shows an option relating to the Back button, which no longer exists in the current UI. Fixed by removing the option.
  • Fix: The Initial Setup / Splash screen can display a blank white line in some screen resolutions. A purely cosmetic issue. Fixed now.
  • Fix: Using the Search feature in the tool result lists can cause the program to display Integer Overflow error message.
  • Fix: Maximizing the main program window in Windows 7 can cause the window to go entirely blank.
  • Fix: Under some cases, the Auto Updater could incorrectly save its log file to the Windows Desktop.
  • Fix: Starting the Internet Optimizer can incorrectly say there is no internet connection, even if there is.
  • Improvements:
  • New feature: jv16 PowerTools Widget allows you to see core system information directly from your Windows Desktop. It can either be a few pixel tall bar showing only basic CPU and RAM statistics, or larger tool for easy killing of apps.
  • Major performance optimization. The Initial Setup, System Cleaner and Software Uninstaller all now work considerably faster. In most systems, the speed improvement will be minor, 5% on average on our testing systems. However, in some systems with specific content (e.g. specific installed third party software), the speed improvement can be over 20%.
  • The dashboard now lists all system hard drives (previously only a maximum of two), and also shows their names and file system information.
  • Added an option for the user to select whether to show hard drive information on the main app dashboard. The default setting is to show the hard drive information of the system disk only.
  • Added options for the user to choose what kind of CPU and RAM data to see in the dashboard. You can adjust how the dashboard looks from the Settings window, or simply by Right Clicking the dashboard.
  • The window bottom panel buttons now have the same right hand padding (empty space) as below the button. Purely a cosmetic improvement.
  • Added a tip text to the Finder tool to let the user know they can write multiple search words at the same time by writing one search word per line.
  • The program automatically now capitalizes the tool names in the main navigation menu, even if they are not capitalized in the translation files.

jv16 PowerTools 6.0.0.1133
Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!

  • Fix: The program can display Access Violation and Privileged Instruction error message when starting, or when the Widget starts. This mainly happens with systems that have a third party application called WindowBlinds installed. This is a cosmetic issue, that is, it does not cause any harm to the system. Nevertheless, it is an annoying and it is now fixed.
  • Fix: Uninstalling jv16 PowerTools can leave up to three Widget related files behind to the C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\ directory. This is now fixed, and any previously left behind files will also be removed by this version’s uninstaller.
  • Fix: The capitalization of some of the navigation menu items can be wrong when using the program in other than the English user interface.
  • Fix: The Widget’s setting in jv16 PowerTools Settings window does not work properly. For example, you cannot re-enable Widget from the Settings if you have disabled it via its “Exit and never show again” feature.
  • Fix: The tooltips shown by the left navigation panel mixes English with translated texts. This only happens a Non English UI is used.
  • Fix: The dashboard can show gibberish (such as 0xB21A12) as the RAM manufacturer name.
  • Fix: The automatic updates do not work. This feature has now been entirely re-written and it is now working. If enabled, you should automatically receive all the hotfix and small updates to the program from now on. Major new updates still require a manual download and installation.
  • Fix: The program can display a cut message saying “if the download didn’t start, go to https://”. The message should include the correct address. This is now fixed.
  • Fix: Software Uninstaller can incorrectly remove a shared software installation directory. For example, if you have Firefox and Thunderbird installed from Mozilla, uninstalling one can cause the incorrect removal of the shared c:\users\x\AppData\Local\Mozilla\ directory.
Improvements:
  • Major accuracy improvement: Software Uninstaller finds on average 25% more data relating to installed software, and System Cleaner contains a new registry cleaning scan module.
  • Major performance improvements: Initial Setup now runs on average 20% faster and System Cleaner about 10% faster.
  • The dashboard now shows whether your hard drives are old style mechanical hard drives or SSD. For SSDs, it will also show whether the drive is SATA SSD or NVMe SSD.
  • The program now attempts to detect Windows shutdown and if one is detected, the program now handles that more gracefully. This applies to both the main jv16 PowerTools and the Widget.
  • You can now enable and disable an automated reboot within the scan progress screen for system cleaning and uninstallation of software.
  • Improved the overall smoothness of the dashboard and the scan progress UI.
  • The widget will now blend to the desktop background smoother after the mouse cursor leaves the Widget app area.
  • This version comes with many updated translations, such as: Dutch, Swedish and Russian. German translation will be updated soon, too

jv16 PowerTools 6.1.0.1203
Changes in jv16 PowerTools 6.1.0.1203:
Feature Improvements:
  • Major speed improvements to all the main features: Initial Setup, System Cleaner scan and Software Uninstaller scan. These speed improvements are focused on the outliner systems. In other words, the average speed of each tool remains about the same, but in systems which had terribly slow Initial Setup or Software Uninstaller scan times, there should be major improvements.
  • Moved a lot of data processing from the main jv16 PowerTools executable to a helper executable residing in the same application folder. This improves data processing speeds and improves UI responsiveness, for example during Initial Setup.
  • It is now possible to select multiple items from the result list using the Shift key. Click first item you wish to select, press down the Shift key and then click the second item, and all items between the two items will be selected.
  • Added an option to select items by search word.
  • The message boxes now allow you to select the text for easier copying. For example, when in Software Uninstaller > Right Click > Show all data, you can simply select and copy with Control + C the data you want.
  • Added an option to open a running app’s folder. To do this, simply Right-Click the app in the Dashboard or Widget and choose Open in Explorer.
  • The application and the widget now close down faster. Before, there could be a delay of few seconds.
  • Improved the UI update smoothness of the Widget.
  • It is now possible to select multiple items from the result list using the Shift key. Click first item you wish to select, press down the Shift key and then click the second item, and all items between the two items will be selected.
  • Made the option of killing apps from the Dashboard or Widget easier to notice.
  • If jv16 PowerTools is set to automatically start after software uninstallation reboot, the widget should not automatically start for a few seconds before the reboot happens.
  • Improved the smoothness of the Initial Setup progress display.
  • The Widget will now set its default data update speed based on the computer speed. Previously, the Widget could use 10%+ of CPU simply to update its data, because it was updating too frequently and with slower computers this would cause substantial CPU usage.
  • Improved the classification of running apps within the Dashboard and Widget. These features should only list running user apps, previously they could sometimes also list system apps as they were not all correctly detected.
  • Added an option to not show the Widget within its list of running apps.
  • Keeping the mouse cursor over any apps of the Dashboard’s or the Widget’s will now display the app’s filename.
  • Improved detection of Big Fish game launcher games.
  • Saving the result list as a text file now also includes the column captions.
  • Software Uninstaller will now display the installation size of small apps in KB, instead of saying 0 MB.
  • Improved Software Uninstaller’s accuracy in detecting installed software data, such as publisher names.
  • Added a select icon to the result lists, such as System Cleaner and Software Uninstaller to allow easier and faster selection of items.
  • We have noticed some users not realizing that the jv16 PowerTools button at the top left corner of the app window is the main menu. We have now addressed this by adding a tip text about it.
  • System Cleaner’s Domain Whitelist now also ignores sub-domains. Before, adding domain.com would only whitelist that, anything like subdomain.domain.com cookies could still be listed by System Cleaner.
  • Clicking the Download button in Check For Updates screen will now take you to the direct download page. Before, the Change Log page of the new version was opened. Now the program has a separate button for opening that page to read more details of the new version.
  • There can be a delay of a second or few after clicking the Start button in Finder. During this time, the app seems frozen. It’s not frozen, but this is not properly indicated. This is now addressed with an added Please Wait message and also by making the starting of search faster.
  • Deleting a lot of data with the Finder result screen can take some time. However, during this time there is no progress indication. Addressed by adding a Please Wait message.
  • Improved the Software Uninstaller’s ability to avoid automatic reboots when uninstalling software.
  • Added an option to display the dates within the app in the format of year . month . day.
  • Comes with many updated translations, including Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Swedish and Thai.
Bug Fixes
  • The System Cleaner can get stuck at 90% progress seemingly forever when scanning. This bug only affected some users, but for them, it was very annoying as it basically prevented them from using the tool.
  • With some users, the program fails to start entirely, or it starts but the entire UI is unresponsive and clicking any of the tool buttons does nothing. This was a very rare bug with only six people reporting it. We were able analyze the problem and it was caused by specific hardware configuration causing the UI initialization code to fail. It’s now fixed.
  • The hard disk type (HDD vs. SSD) detection in the main Dashboard does not work correctly in all systems.
  • In some systems especially with a lot of registry errors, starting of the program can take unusually long.
  • The Widget can display List Index Out of Bounds error message.
  • When uninstalling software, the Software Updater icon can be incorrectly highlighted as the currently active tool in the navigation panel. This is purely a cosmetic issue.
  • The English user interface contains a few typos and grammar mistakes. They should all be fixed now.
  • Within Windows Control Panel’s remove apps, jv16 PowerTools version number can be incorrectly listed as 5.x, it should be 6.x.
  • If you kill jv16 PowerTools using the X button from its Dashboard listing of apps, this does not start the Widget even though normally closing jv16 PowerTools would start it.
  • The automatic sizing of the Widget window does not work properly.
  • If you enter the Settings view in Widget, the Right Click menu will no longer display most of the Hide/Show menu items.
  • The save button in Widget’s Settings view uses different colors compared to the other buttons in the Widget.
  • In some screen sizes, the default jv16 PowerTools window size might be too tall, getting partially covered by the Windows taskbar.
  • Starting the app with a command line parameter (such as jv16PT.exe -SoftwareUninstaller) does not always work.
  • One System Cleaner scan module is called “Scan automatically while starting software”, which, makes no sense because of the incorrectly added word, it has now been fixed to “Scan automatically starting software”.
  • Even with the Do not create any backups option selected from the Settings, the program can still create backups.
  • Settings “Show search panel by default” does not work. Even if unchecked, the search panel is visible in the tool results view.
  • It’s not possible to close the Search panel in Task Closer. Clicking the X button does not do anything.
  • Settings “Show the reason why each item was found as invalid or safe to remove” does not work. That is, unchecking this option does not hide the reason column from System Cleaner UI.
  • Using the Finder to search for only registry data causes the scan progress screen to still display file system paths and the program says these file system paths are being searched. This is a cosmetic bug, the file system paths are not searched if you tell the Finder to only look for registry data, however the user interface incorrectly says file system is also searched.
  • Using the Right-Click menu is impossible in the message popup window because the menu gets automatically closed.
  • Opening a registry key with Finder’s Right-Click menu option can show error message saying the registry key does not exist – even if it does exist.
  • Software Updater does not display the number of items in the bottom left corner of the window status bar.
  • The Widget has a small memory leak which causes its RAM usage to increase slowly but surely if it is running for a long time.
  • Even when a tool is open, the tool’s navigation panel tooltip would say something like “click here to open the tool”. As the tool is already open, the tooltip could be confusing.
  • When the navigation panel is minimized, the buttons may not display any tooltips at all.
  • Killing an app with the Widget can sometimes kill it correctly, but it still remains listed as a running app (because the list does not get refreshed correctly).
  • Using the result filter bar can cause the program to crash with an Access Violation error message.

jv16 PowerTools 7.0.0.1288
Changes in jv16 PowerTools 7.0.0.1288:
Feature Improvements:


  • The Initial Setup, System Cleaner and Software Uninstaller scans now run on average 8% faster than before.
  • The program now supports running the System Cleaner via command line parameter, either with or without showing the user interface. Also, an option to describe the command line based features was added under the Help menu.
  • The main user interface is more responsive.
  • The Windows Installed Apps feature will now show the complete version number for jv16 PowerTools, such as 7.0.0.1274, instead of just 7.0
  • Running the System Cleaner scan or the Finder now shows more detailed information what is going on during the scan, such as which registry paths and directories are being scanned.
  • The detection of installed software is now more accurate, which also improves the accuracy and safety of the System Cleaner. This is a general improvement, there were no cases of any damage to systems.
  • Reduced the maximum width of message boxes for easier reading.
  • The program now shows less prompts and warnings if being run within a virtual environment.
  • Many translations updated.

Bug Fixes


  • The Dashboard’s hard drive listing did not honor the Ignore List. For example, if you added D:\ to the Ignore List, the D:\ drive would still be listed in the Dashboard and its content analyzed.
  • Adding data to the Ignore List in Settings did not work properly. Trying to add new rows of data to the Ignore List could clear all the old rows from the list.
  • Finder in Dashboard did not support searching with multiple search words using the | character separator. For example, “foobar | qwerty” should have searched with two search words, “foobar” and “qwerty” but this did not work correctly.
  • Running the System Cleaner did not report its progress correctly, which could have caused the user to think that the operation failed. However, this was only a cosmetic issue relating to the progress screen, not to the actual system cleaning or fixing.
  • The version number shown by Windows Installed Apps feature for jv16 PowerTools was still 6.x instead of 7.x
  • The checkboxes to choose which data types to look for in Finder did not always have enough space to fully display their content in some screen resolutions.
  • The main menu’s Help menu could have been entirely empty in some systems.
  • In some screen resolutions or application window sizes, the top of the navigation menu did not have enough top margin.
  • Main menu > Tools > Backups did not always open the Backups tool.
  • In tool result lists with exactly two columns, the automatic column sizing did not always work perfectly, causing the column sizes to be set too wide.
  • In the Dashboard the vertical position of the panel top right corner buttons was a few pixels off.
  • The number of found items may have still been counted wrong in System Cleaner’s results screen, when comparing the numbers in the top text panel and the bottom left corner. This bug was mostly fixed in the last build, but in some rare cases it could still occur. This was purely a cosmetic issue, but it is now fixed nevertheless.

jv16 PowerTools 7.4.0.1418

May 12, 2022
  • There are three new tools:
  • File Renamer can rename many files at the same time. For example, you can name files based on static text plus a counter such as "image 1.png", "image 2.png" and so on. You can also perform Find and Replace within file names, for example, easily rename a large collection of files with underscores in their names such as "the_amazing_adventures_of_catgir.avi" into "The Amazing Adventures Of Catgirl.avi"
  • File Splitter can split large files into smaller parts, for example to make it easier to upload or send them. You can split files by size, for example making every piece less than 100 MB, or you can simply split large file into 10 equally sized pieces. If you want to split files, the File Splitter can do that for you.
  • File Merger can merge previously split file parts back into the original large file.
  • This version also includes many performance improvements. The program now starts and runs faster on most systems. There are also many accuracy related improvements, such as better detection of running apps in the Dashboard and Widget, better detection of installed apps and their data in Software Uninstaller and better detection of certain types of system errors in System Cleaner.
