What’s New in Glow 26.6:
New Features
- Glow’s Visual Basic dependencies have been removed; the application now runs entirely on pure C#.
- Extensive accessibility improvements have been implemented to enhance the experience for visually impaired users. Assistive technologies such as screen readers can now present content more accurately, consistently, and clearly while navigating within Glow.
- The “Used Disk Space” feature has been added to the Disk section. With this feature, you can now see how much space is being used on the selected disk. Admittedly, this update is somewhat overdue; however, it has finally been integrated into Glow and is now available for use.
- The DISM and SFC Automation Tool has finally been brought up to the expected standard. Thanks to the updated reporting system, detailed information is now provided at the end of the process regarding which command performed the repair or at which stage an error occurred. In cases where no repair is needed, a “No Issues Detected” notification has been added. Additionally, all operations executed via the Command Prompt (CMD) can now be monitored in real time through the interface without requiring a console window. It is also compatible with Microsoft’s latest-generation update for the “sfc /scannow” command.
- The loading algorithm for the Installed Drivers and Installed Services sections has been improved and finalized. It now ensures quick loading performance, even on systems with numerous drivers and services.
- The processing algorithm of the Memory Test Tool has been updated. It now performs more stable and accurate memory tests.
Fixed Bugs
- Issues caused by asynchronous conflicts in background tasks and rare errors occurring during application shutdown have been resolved. The shutdown process has been optimized for a more reliable workflow.
- A bug that caused the “Registered User Account” field in the Operating System section to appear empty on some systems has been fixed. If it cannot be detected, it will now display “Unknown”.
- Various issues related to RAM calculations in Glow have been resolved.
- A bug in the TSNaturalSortKey algorithm that produced incorrect sorting results in certain languages has been fixed.
Changes
- Unnecessary .NET Framework dependencies within Glow have been removed, reducing system load and eliminating unnecessary resource usage.
- Across Glow, the resources used to read total, available, and used RAM values have been updated.
- The ordering of features in the Operating System section has been reorganized to ensure a more accurate and structured presentation.
Removed Features
