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 GraphoView would not display information about a selected Windows image if the WDS group it belongs to only has 1 image

  • Fixed an issue where the program would throw an exception when performing multiple driver exports by class name
