Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where the "I want to perform repairs on a separate drive" and the About windows remained behind the main window when Always on Top was enabled.

New stuff

• You can now perform repairs using MERT on a separate drive. Tick the "I want to perform repair operations on a separate drive" checkbox and follow the instructions to do this.

• Removed Segoe UI Variable from the program entirely except for the About window to maximise compatibility and to increase consistency.

Fixes

• Fixed the update checker.
• You should no longer see Command Prompt windows popping up when performing repairs using Automatic Repair.
• Fixed some alignment issues in the Run Elevated and Run as System menus.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the "Re-enable Command Prompt" fix will appear even though it is not disabled.
• Fixed an issue where the "Reset txt icons" fix will appear no matter what.

• Fixed an issue where MERT would not detect a disabled Command Prompt or incorrectly detect an enabled Command Prompt with the DisableCMD key set to 0 via Automatic Repair.

• Fixed an issue that caused an error message to be displayed concerning the update mechanism in the about dialog no matter what.

• Added a check for updates feature. When opening the about dialog, the app will check for updates and will display a download button next to the version number which will take you to the releases page if a new version is found.

Do give us feedback on whether or not you like the layout as well as any suggestions you may have.

• Fixed an issue that would cause MERT to crash on Windows 11 when resetting txt icons in Automatic Repair.
• Added the ability to toggle the primary mouse buttons (idea by @Bradenyolo)
• Added the ability to minimise MERT (thanks Alloyd#6523)

New stuff:

• MERT has gotten a WPF rewrite. Previously, MERT was based on Windows Forms.
• Added some eye candy along with the rewrite.
• About dialog has dark mode support now
• Now targets .NET Framework 4.7.2
• Redid the layout a little - did away with the redundant "to apply a fix, simply click its respective apply button" and added a menu bar in place of the about and settings buttons to make things look neater. Items in the menu:
  • Open Registry Editor
  • Open Elevated Command Prompt
  • Open Task Manager
  • Light <-> Dark mode toggling
  • [NEW] Ability to run processes as administrator from the app itself
  • [NEW] Ability to run processes as system from the app itself
  • [NEW] "Always on top" mode to combat malware that has windows that are always on top (can also be triggered with Alt + T when malware is fullscreen and you are unable to interact with the app)
  • About MERT dialog
• Added the ability to re-enable theme settings
• Added the ability to re-enable wallpaper settings
• Added the ability to re-enable colour settings
• Added the ability to re-enable Run
• Added the ability to re-enable the Windows key

Known issues:

• When using Windows versions below Windows 10, some of the buttons may be slightly misaligned. I cannot fix this.

• Added Automatic Repair, which lets the app scan for things to fix, and will help repair them for you.

• Added dark mode support for the critical process property stripper

• App will now use Segoe UI Variable on Windows 11.
• Added ability to remove keyboard restrictions (Scancode Map)

• Added support for High DPI displays

• Added an icon to the app and the about page
• Changed the way how it asks for admin so that the UAC shield doesn't cover the icon
