Improvements
Improved RC Recovery When No Network is Available
Resolved an issue where the RC service could stop working if no network was present during restart. The RC now handles network outages more gracefully and restarts reliably when connectivity returns.
IPv6 DNS Leak Prevention Fixed
Addressed incorrect behavior when switching between IPv6 and IPv4 networks. DNS settings now update correctly, preventing persistent misconfigurations.
Registry Clean Option Fixed in White Label Builds
The REGCLEAN option now successfully removes registry values during uninstall for white label builds.
Cleaner Version Display
The RC version is now shown in a simplified Major.Minor.Patch format, making it easier to read and more consistent.
Accurate RC Status Display in the Portal
Status indicators (e.g., Last Sync, Last Query Received) now update properly for online Windows devices, even when no user is logged in.
USB Ethernet Disconnection Issues Resolved
Fixed an issue where disconnecting USB Ethernet adapters or docking stations caused the RC to go offline. Adapter changes are now handled correctly.
Reliable Reconnection After Wake or Sleep
The RC now resumes filtering and connectivity properly after waking from sleep, resolving issues with delayed reconnection or policy application.
Static IP Conflict Resolved After Wake/Boot
Corrected an issue where the RC would assign itself an invalid static IP after waking or booting, which caused it to go offline. It now restores proper network settings.

Bug Fixes 🪲

Static IP Issue:
Addressing the persistent issue where workstations with static IPs suddenly lose network access. This fix ensures that machines operate without interruption, restoring reliable connectivity.
VPN Connection and Local Domain Resolution
: Users connecting to a VPN from offsite can now resolve local domains instantly without delay. Previously, a validation issue caused the roaming client to rely on backup resolvers, delaying resolution by up to an hour. This fix ensures seamless remote work by processing local domain queries immediately upon VPN connection.
Improved Error Handling for Local Domain Resolution
: We have enhanced the reliability of our resolution process for local domains by ensuring that the RC no longer errors out when cycling through additional local resolvers. With this update, the RC will smoothly transition to subsequent local resolvers without triggering connection closure errors, improving the local domain resolutions.
Improved Network Switching for DNS Fallback
: Addressed the issue where the Windows Roaming Client was not correctly setting the fallback DNS when switching networks. This enhancement ensures that upon network change, the correct fallback DNS is applied without needing a manual restart of the agent, streamlining DNS resolution as users transition between different network environments.
Improved Restoration of DNS Settings
: Resolved an issue with restoring DNS settings when releasing or shutting down a network interface. Updates now correctly differentiate between Wi-Fi profiles and hardware level settings, ensuring DNS settings are accurately restored at the hardware level. Enhancements also improve the restoration of DHCP and static settings for wired connections.
Network Backup Settings Synchronization
: Resolved synchronization issues between memory and registry backups in network settings, ensuring accurate restoration of values to prevent device connectivity failures. Enhanced backup mechanisms now consistently update and maintain accuracy during DNS resolution takeover and proxy initiation.
Enhanced Device Sleep Handling for Windows 11
: Improved handling of device sleep state in Windows 11, particularly addressing issues with Modern sleep mode. The agent is now aware of the sleep state to prevent actions that might not be feasible, such as resetting network settings, restarting the process due to failed pings, and performing network changes while devices are asleep. Additionally, startup after sleep is delayed by 2 seconds to ensure all interfaces have re-established connectivity.

New Features
Remote Uninstallation for Windows Roaming Client 2.0.1+
Admins can now seamlessly uninstall Remote Clients (RC) directly from the App Dashboard, addressing a key community request. This update supports triggering or queuing uninstalls for active devices, ensuring automatic restoration of network settings without user intervention. Uninstallation is integrated into single, multi-select, and bulk deletion options, with accurate status tracking. 
Purpose-Specific Log Files
The RC logging system has been improved by splitting a single log file into multiple purpose-specific files. These new logs are fully integrated into the debug tool.
WinRC Debug Tool Update
The WinRC Debug Tool now supports IPv6-enabled network interfaces even when configured in IPv4-only mode. It utilizes updated DNS resolution methods to ensure accurate diagnostics and improve troubleshooting capabilities.
Sleep-Study Integration in Debug Script
A new sleep-study script has been added to the troubleshooting toolkit, allowing admins to correlate device sleep patterns with recent controller activity. This enhancement provides insights into device states to help identify and resolve operational issues effectively.
Bug Fixes
Domain Resolution Discrepancy:
Resolved an issue where queries to non-existent hosts with local domain suffixes incorrectly returned an unknown IP. The correct response (SERVFAIL or NXDOMAIN) is now provided, ensuring proper functionality, particularly in VPN environments.
Improved Local Domain Handling After Sleep:
Fixed an issue where WinRC failed to query local resolvers for local domains after waking from sleep, ensuring correct behavior on Windows 11 Pro systems.
Correct NXDOMAIN Response:
Addressed a problem where non-existent DNS records returned a SERVFAIL response instead of NXDOMAIN, aligning with expected DNS behavior.
RC Uninstall Log Location Update:
The RC uninstall process now writes logs to a consistent and reliable location in the system logs folder, improving accessibility for monitoring and troubleshooting.
Seamless Upgrade Installations:
Upgrades now properly stop and restart the TrayIcon process, preventing file access issues during installation.
