3.4.2
- Support of high DPI
The previous version of the program displayed blurry dialogs when you work on a monitor with high DPI
- Portable version
Per many user requests we have added a portable edition of LockHunter.
It’s also supplied in the form of installer but it allows to install the program to an external drive (or even to a cloud drive) and then use it on any computer.
The portable version stores its settings in a configuration file (rather than the registry) and save log file to the folder of its executable.
It doesn’t have an integration to Windows Explorer and as installable version requires administrative permissions.
It will run on both Windows 64 bit and 32 bit (though, there are less than 5% of our users are still on it).
This our first experience with portable software so your suggestions or notes on how can we improve it are very welcome.
- Bugs fixed
An error displayed when the program was maximized on the previous start

3.1
We are happy to announce availability of LockHunter 3.1!
This version contains a fix for one crucial bug:
- In case if the UAC is disabled and the program is running under non administrative account it doesn't start
(actually it started to run itself in an infinite loop).

3.0
- Deleting files at next operating system restart
LockHunter does it best to forcibly delete a file or a folder.
But in some cases Windows doesn't allow you to delete it even if all connections to the file are closed.
In this case LockHunter offers you to delete the file at next restart of the operating system.
Just choose Other - Delete At Next Restart menu item...
...restart the computer and the program inform you what files were deleted finally or not.
- Displaying more information
When you check "More details" option you can see many hidden details of the process: process ID,
service name (in case if it's a Windows service) and a process command line.
- Auto check for upgrades
The program now automatically checks for upgrades once in 5 days.
Besides you can check for upgrades manually via "Menu - Check for updates" menu item.
- Multimonitor support
LockHunter now behaves correctly on a multimonitor system,
furthermore the program preserves its coordinates between restarts.
- Ability to copy information to clipboard
Just press "Ctrl+C" at a process or a file or right-click and choose "Copy to clipboard" in order to put all information about the process to the clipboard.
- Unified installer for 32 and 64 bit
Now you don't need to decide which operation system kind you have.
Just download the only installer and use it on any Windows starting from XP.
Bug fix

- A "Canvas does not allow drawing" error might happen on frequent refresh
