Update: The latest build 47006 also hangs, but deleting resume.dat fixed the problem.

Build 74004 consistently hangs at launch for me (screenshot). Downgrading to 46986 works fine again (using Win11 x64 23H2). I extracted the 47004 beta installer with 7zip and copied utorrent.exe to my ut appdata folder as usual (the dlls are the same). Then launched it and unfortunately it hangs every time, instead of self-updating.

It was definitely changed. Previously, when opening the installer via 7-zip, there were various files, among which there was always a Carrier.exe (~2 MB) with which I always replaced my installed uTorrent.exe . In the 46148 version there's essentially only a GenericSetup.exe (10 MB), which apparently incorporates all relevant separate files of previous versions, and which cannot be further opened via 7-zip. I attach screenshots of e.g. builds 46090 vs 46148 opened inside 7-zip :

Simply downloaded ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 (upgraded from win10 21h2). No problems, working fine, and I like it a lot.

46104 crashes on launch on Windows 11 consistently for me. So, back to 46096.

Thank you.

You mean 46006 . Could you please share a link for the non-LAA executable? (I have tried all 3 stable links from this post sig, but they are all of 45988)

With the latest version there's now a "Pro 25% Off!" in red color in the sidebar: Is there a related entry in Options|Preferences|Advanced to disable it? Edit: I see that if I toggle "gui.show_plus_upsell_node" to false (via: Shift+F2>hidden advanced settings) the entry gets hidden, but unfortunately it becomes true again when I restart utorrent. PS. I also wanted to hide the "TronTV", but unfortunately it always reappears after a while, when I hide it via Options|Show TronTV (F8)

Ok, sorry, my misunderstanding. No, I meant that Defender didn't find anything , not yesterday nor today, when manually scanning the file. Yesterday, it blocked and removed the running process, due its behavior, i.e. (most probably) that, right after I replaced the executable and ran it, it created/modified the 4 registry keys for autorun+uninstall shown in the 2nd screenshot in the initial post.

First of all thanks both for the responses. @mike20021969That part was harsh and unnecessary... Anyway, yes, the file's Digital Signature is intact. I always check the file's Digital Signature (I don't check virustotal because I know that all utorrent build executables get, more or less, false positives in some of the antivirus engines it uses). I always (close uTorrent and) just replace uTorrent.exe with the new executable. It's not like it's the first time I do that. In fact I've updated to all the recent beta builds that you've linked to. But this time it was different: this was the first time Windows Defender blocked the running process itself and removed it ("this program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker ") putting it in Quarantine. My 1st screenshot above was the initial Defender notification, i.e. that the running process is "dangerous and executes commands from an attacker". At that time I ignored it and just closed uTorrent. But, as soon I tried to re-run it, I found that it had automatically quarantined it. That's what it worried me the most, and so I asked for your opinion (otherwise I would just ignore it). But, in general, if what you're suggesting is that, as long as the Digital Signature is ok, to always ignore whatever alert your antivirus or firewall might notify you of, then I'd say that, whatever the software might that be, it might be cases that the alert is indeed real (like the recent CCleaner case). @rafi the Defender's definitions yesterday, were up-to-date at that point: I just manually updated them to today's: Scanning the executable doesn't find anything, as it did yesterday. Windows version:

Regarding the latest beta build 3.5.0.44284, Windows Defender (win 10) found its running process as "Trojan:Win32/Fuery.A!cl". I simply replaced the beta 3.5.0.44278 uTorrent.exe with the new one, as always. Never happened such thing before, with any beta or stable build. I guess it's just false positive, but could we please confirm ?

Thanks.

One question: "speed up the rendering of magnet links" means that the torrent information is now retrieved faster?

+1

One thing about the "Completed" category in the utorrent's interface main window: apart from the finished/seeding torrents it also displays the items that have been loaded as magnet links and are not started (their status: Stopped 0.0%). I've noticed this in all latest utorrent releases.
