AdwCleaner 8.0.6 Switch for GUI

[CeeBee]

Using a fairly powerful computer with 16GB memory, when starting v.8.0.6 as a GUI program, it first opens a black CMD window for a moment before the GUI is loaded.  To avoid this and to speed up loading of the GUI I need a switch to tell the program to skip the CMD detour.  Is there such a switch?  If not, can you provide one for the next release.  Thanks.

Your "Bot" auto-reply-suggestion doesn't apply, so I'll ignore that one.

Must say that I don't care for Bot exchanges, but that's a different issue!

Greetings,

Unfortunately I don't believe there is any way to skip the behavior you are observing at this time, however thank you for your feedback.  I will be sure to report it to the Product team.

If there is anything else we might assist you with please let us know.

Thanks

Thanks.  Pass it on.  Should be an easy fix .. imo.

I could of course always go back to 8.0.5 even though it may have a bug:  https://borncity.com/win/2020/07/03/adwcleaner-8-0-6-schliet-erneut-dll-hijacking-schwachstelle/

Hello @CeeBee,

How long is the cmd window displayed for you? It should be fairly quick.

Thanks,

The CMD window is opened long enough that I see it as a "black rectangle" proper.  It's not just flashing by.  It slows the loading of the GUI version a bit.  It's not terrible, but a nuisance as I have a ThinkCentre M920s computer with i7-8700 CPU, 16GB and a M2.SDD.

Hope you can fix this or provide a GUI version only.  The latter doesn't make sense, as a /switch would do the trick imo.  Thanks.

Perhaps of no relevance, but HitmanPro 3.8.18 (312) 64-bit GUI loads in about 1/3 of the time (subjectively, not measured).  Maybe I'm comparing apples with oranges...

Hello @jboursier

As regards the cmd.exe window "flash-by" .. 8.0.7 is not an improvement over 8.0.6.  For simplicity (and as suggested by pm), how about separate executables for GUI and CLI.  At times, multi-function software may not be the way to go .. but of course that's my humble opinion.  Thanks!

Hello,

@CeeBee I got your PM too We'll see what we can do for that in the future based on all the feedback we get. I'll follow up if there is any change in this regard.

Regards,
