TaskExplorer 1.7.1 is a focused maintenance and refinement release that further improves update handling, stability, and process protection. This version introduces a new Sandboxie-style online updater, allowing TaskExplorer to check for and apply updates directly, simplifying maintenance and keeping installations current with minimal user effort.
Several internal behaviors have been refined. The “Reset all Panels” function has been improved to behave more consistently and predictably across complex layouts. Process protection in the KSI driver has also been tightened further; in this release it is intentionally more strict than the protection model used by KSystemInformer. If this increased strictness prevents you from reaching a high security level in your environment, feedback is explicitly requested so the behavior can be evaluated and adjusted if necessary.
An issue where newly downloaded DynData was not applied until after a restart has been resolved, ensuring that updated dynamic data takes effect immediately. Overall, 1.7.1 builds on the 1.7.0 foundation with practical improvements aimed at robustness, security, and smoother day-to-day use.
