Release 0.9.8.15

since 0.9.8.15

Purpose

This page names what changed in Setup Foundry 0.9.8.15 compared with the previous release. Currently, every release is installed fresh.

"Check for updates…" in the "Help" menu immediately checks for newer versions. It also reports an up-to-date application or a missing response. The check works even with the "Check for new versions" switch off. The switch remains unchanged.

In Free, the installation media set the Foundry image as the default Windows background and lock screen. You can change the image in Windows at any time.
Free now updates apps on the configured PC weekly with winget. In Home and Pro you can switch this on and off on the "Windows" page.
Free now checks policies at every start of the configured PC and logs the result. In Home and Pro you can switch this on and off on the "Windows" page.
The feature is now called "Remove preinstalled Windows apps". Free removes these apps according to the standard list. From Home you make your own selection.
The installation media now include drivers for more network adapters.
In the "Installation" area the folder icon now sits above the installation media creation button.

Both Hyper-V switches now work in every edition through the setup wizard and Settings. They remain locked on Windows Home.
Policies now appear without the "Reading…" display remaining indefinitely.
The start window no longer freezes when recreating the default background images. This also applies after database loss.

The application reports new releases and checks for them through "Help" on request. Download and installation remain manual in this release.
Programs supplied as zip or portable still require an internet connection for Setup Foundry setup. This also applies to required Windows features such as .NET Framework 3.5.
