XY Uptime - how long without restart

Post by tedy »

Hello all.
Last few days I'm evaluating the XYplorer and it's amazing! Never seen something like it before. I was looking around for a good WE alternative for years. Some were good to some degree.
I'm very impressed with XY but before I buy it, I want to know if anybody tried for how long XY can stay On without restart?
I use WinServer 2008 x64 and most programs I use I start when I boot the machine, and close right before shutdown, it means something like 4 months. Yes, for 3 or 4 months most programs stay loaded, incl. IE, Windows Explorer, browsers, programming IDEs, editors etc.
It's essential for me that those programs, incl. Explorers and hopefully XY are stable enough to bear the long uptimes.
I guess there isn't much to a Explorer replacement that can go wrong to a degree to crash totally but I'll appreciate any input on that matter.

I admit - impressive piece of software.

Hi and Welcome to XYplorer,
Glad that you like it. I cant answer if XY will stay loaded for 4 months, but my personal best is 7 weeks and there were no problems.

Yes, XY is pretty stable. I've got one here that's been running for a while now (and I use it everyday) :

Thanks!
It's enough - 7 weeks is almost 2 months, the idea is it is stable for me then.
Firefox for ex. barely ever survives the 25 days limit, and it is the only program that needs frequent restart here.

Edit: Wow, 107 days, this proves its stability, thanks again.

But I guess you will have to restart quite often, not because its unstable, but because the features on XY come fast and furious and its hard to not upgrade (which requires restart). You will soon see what I mean.

:) Well, then it won't work for me.

I'm kidding.
Well, not sure what's upcoming in the roadmap, but my usage pattern is simple, what's currently packed with XY is more than enough for me, but you never know..
