Re: Update to 18.60 from 18.50.0300 didn't work for me

... May I suggest, as an enhancement to the installer, that it put up an error that says it can't run due to a Local or Group Security Policy? The installer shouldn't assume it has rights to execute from the %LocalAppData%/Temp folder and not be able to handle the situation where it doesn't. Agreed...

Re: XY keeping folders locked

@Papoulka Thank you so much for finding the solution to this problem. It was driving me crazy. Installing MBAM 3.4.5 over 3.4.4 was the cure. What was confounding is that Unlocker (a utility that displays locking handles on a file or folder) was showing no locks on the folder I was trying to rename,...

Re: Update to 18.60 from 18.50.0300 didn't work for me

I did some more digging and answered my own question. The XYplorer self-update file gets placed in %LocalAppData%/Temp and then attempts to execute from there. It failed on my PC because I have a Local Security Policy rule that prohibits .exe files from running from %LocalAppData% and subfolders the...

Update to 18.60 from 18.50.0300 didn't work for me

For some reason, my update to 18.60 didn't work. I was on 18.50.0300. It told me an update was available. I clicked OK, XYplorer closed, and then nothing. I tried it again, same result. I had to go to the website and download xyplorer_full.zip and install the download manually, which worked fine. Au...

Re: Scrolling not smooth in 16.30 release

OK, now I have to eat crow. Apparently I wasn't hitting the horizontal hot zone. I guess it (the hot zone) is a very narrow strip across the bottom of the pane just above the horizontal scroll bar. Why I all of a sudden wasn't able to do that, I don't know. Maybe the hand-eye coordination isn't what...

Re: Scrolling not smooth in 16.30 release

I'm sorry, admin, but this does not help. I tried to emphasize that I have been using this product for several years. I know how it works for what I usually do. I drag and drop all the time. 16.30 isn't scrolling like earlier versions did. It has nothing to do with me not being able to hit the hot z...

Scrolling not smooth in 16.30 release

I've used XYplorer for a few years and upgraded to the paid version about 6 months ago. This is my first post here. On the newest version, 16.30, if I grab a folder and want to move it into another folder below what I can see on the screen, XYplorer no longer scrolls smoothly when I drag the folder ...
