v5.9

Added

  • Added BleachBit CleanerML support to Advanced Cleanup, greatly expanding available cleanup rules beyond the built-in and Winapp2 rule sets.
  • Added CleanerML caching so external cleaner rules load faster after the first run.
  • Added a Provider Manager option for Winget --include-unknown to include unknown-version packages in Winget scans.
  • Added Microsoft Store / Store CLI update handling for Store app rows, with Microsoft Store update-page fallback when direct Store CLI actions cannot complete.
  • Added better cleanup analyzer status reporting so protected or in-use files show why they cannot be deleted.

Changed

  • Updated WMT-GUI.ps1 app version to 5.9.
  • Reworked Microsoft Store update handling away from the old Winget msstore source path toward Store CLI and Microsoft Store app update handling.
  • Moved temp cleanup delete work to a separate runtime to keep the UI responsive during large cleanup jobs.
  • Expanded and tightened Registry Cleaner coverage across uninstall entries, App Paths, fonts, PATH entries, COM/classes, file associations, namespaces, scheduled tasks, startup-related entries, and 32-bit/64-bit registry views.
  • Improved Registry Cleaner result details, copy/export behavior, and layout.
  • Improved Store CLI logging, timeout handling, resources-in-use messages, and fallback behavior.
  • Improved light/dark theme handling in search-related UI.

Fixed

  • Fixed Microsoft Store update rows relying on the less reliable Winget msstore flow.
  • Fixed cleanup analysis giving too little detail for files that are locked, protected, or otherwise not deletable.
  • Fixed white-text-on-white-box readability issues.
  • Removed stale registry cleaner exclusions that prevented useful detections.
