I've always wanted to hit that milestone: a solid 1.0 release and now Crapfixer has officially crossed that line! This is a big deal, both technically and symbolically.

• After digging into things, I added a new LogActionsController in the dropdown menu (see the clip). It lets you check, process, and share logs right through the online Log Analyzer. The online Log Analyzer is purely cosmetic and optional, letting you process logs extensively.
• The Log Analyzer Online has been improved, and automatic pasting from the clipboard was added for easier use
• Fixed a dumb bug in the update check where sometimes it'd open the GitHub Issues page instead of searching for updates. Classic 😑
• App startup is faster now thanks to extensive refactoring and improved RAM usage
• The app name is now written as CrapFixer in CamelCase because I think it improves readability and branding. It fits better with modern app-naming styles. After some feedback from friends and the community, "Crapfixer" sounded too plain.
• New setting added under Options > Plugins > to update all plugins at once

Chrome or microsoft edge will not allow the download of the programme due to it saying it is a virus, how do we get around that issue ?

[Belim]

It's a stupid security measure but you can disable it:

✅ To bypass the warning in Chrome:
1. Try the download again.
2. When you see the message:
“[filename] may be dangerous, so Chrome has blocked it.”
3. Click the “Show all” or go to the Downloads page (Ctrl + J).
4. Next to the file, click “Keep dangerous file” > “Keep anyway.”
5. If it disappears again, go to the Downloads folder in File Explorer. If it’s not there, disable SmartScreen (see below).

⸻

✅ To bypass the warning in Microsoft Edge:
1. Try downloading the file.
2. When blocked, go to the Downloads section (Ctrl + J or the toolbar).
3. Click on the ellipsis (…) next to the blocked file.
4. Choose “Keep” > then click “Keep anyway.”
5. If it’s removed instantly, disable Microsoft Defender SmartScreen temporarily (see below).

⸻

🔧 Optional: Temporarily disable SmartScreen / Defender (Windows-wide)

Use this only if you’re confident the file is safe. Turn it back on afterward.

1.	Open Windows Security (Start > Windows Security).
2.	Go to App & browser control.
3.	Under Reputation-based protection, click “Reputation-based protection settings.”
4.	Turn off these:
•	Check apps and files
•	SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge
5.	Download the file again.
6.	Re-enable SmartScreen after the download.

There is one thing you could improve i think, the option about the search bar... i like my search bar! I mean i like it when it only search for stuff locally without suggestion from my friend the WEB... maybe add an option to keep search bar but remove internet access?

[bas1123]

So keep search bar but disable web/Bing integration?

Maybe try [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"BingSearchEnabled"=dword:00000000
"CortanaConsent"=dword:00000000

Or this one?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]
"AllowCortana"=dword:00000000

@bas1123 are these features still applicable in the 24H2 release? at the moment, CFixer only implements https://github.com/builtbybel/CrapFixer/blob/main/CFixer/Features/UI/SearchBoxSuggestions.cs
