Important
If you use Windows Defender, it may incorrectly flag this version as malware. SmartScreen may also do this. Don't worry; this is safe to download and use.
This AV solution flags this program because it lacks code-signing certificates, which are quite expensive (as of January 2025, 660 and 864 dollars for 3 years of SV and EV certificates, respectively, from Comodo).
If you use other antivirus solutions, you will not see this problem. Learn more here
Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue where removed features would appear in the wrong place
- Fixed a minor UI issue where the proper user principal name (UPN) would not be shown when selecting a user in the ADDS domain join wizard
Note
This does not impact domain join in any way, as it still uses the SAM account name of a domain user, but the change was done to improve accuracy
