github ios12checker/Windows-Maintenance-Tool v5.3

11 hours ago

Added

  • Added launcher self-update checks in Start_WMT_GUI.bat (downloads latest launcher script when a newer launcher version is detected).
  • Added GUI script auto-update checks in Start_WMT_GUI.bat by comparing local and remote $AppVersion.
  • Added clearer launcher failure handling dialogs for missing script download and declined admin elevation.
  • Added /data/ to .gitignore.

Changed

  • Updated Start_WMT_GUI.bat from launcher v1.2 to v1.3.
  • Updated startup flow in launcher:
    • checks launcher update,
    • checks GUI script update,
    • validates script is not HTML,
    • then elevates and starts WMT-GUI.ps1.
  • Updated WMT-GUI.ps1 app version to 5.3.
  • Switched PowerShell console output encoding setup from fixed UTF-8 to locale-aware OEM code page handling.
  • Reworked WinGet scan/search parsing logic to better handle variable column layouts and source column presence/absence.

Fixed

  • Fixed launcher startup problems in paths containing spaces/parentheses (for example Program Files (x86)).
  • Fixed admin elevation robustness from the launcher batch flow.
  • Fixed WinRE status parsing reliability on localized Windows installs.
  • Fixed WinRE command output encoding handling for non-English environments.
  • Fixed WinGet list/search row parsing stability (reduces column/value mismatch cases).
