As a temporary solution, you can install the nightly, which does not yet have this problem. https://agrd.io/windows_nightly

[jokokko]

I hope this is a glitch in the build pipeline (i.e. something invalidating the license of your obfuscator - didn't check past assemblies for use of obfuscators). Not a case of vendor I have trusted resorting to not paying for the software they use.

@jokokko @Six-Elements , now we are working hard on this issue and we'll publish the fix asap. As the @zubrRB suggested you can install the stable 7.17 version or the nightly one. Of course I'll inform about the changing the issue's status. Sorry for the inconvenience

[adbuker]

@jokokko @Six-Elements @zubrRB , we've published the fix

I am experiencing difficulties in launching AdGuard Adblocker beta on my Windows operating system. Additionally, I am unable to uninstall the AdGuard Adblocker beta program.

[adbuker]

@Batman2814 , are you talking about 7.18B2? For unistalling you can also try our utility

[zubrRB]

@Batman2814 You can download the installer and install the beta 2.

[Batman2814]

Everything is well now.

Программы и компоненты содержит запись о старой проблемной версии, при попытке удаления которой окно ошибки.

[zubrRB]

Пришлось отмотать системную дату до момента, когда проявилась указанная проблема (10/06/2024), чтобы запустился штатный деинсталлятор и удалил остатки старой версии в Программы и компоненты с запросом перезагрузки системы.

@zubrRB , интересная проблема, на блокировщике повторить не получилось, но на впн - смогли. Будем разбираться, спасибо

[zubrRB]

@adbuker блокировщик изначально, как сообщали пользователи выше, не только не запускался, но и не удалялся, после того как спустя неделю сработала защита стороннего ПО. Поэтому и данную запись смог удалить только отмотав дату до того момента, когда защита ещё не сработала, то есть до утра 11 июня. Хотя обычно лишняя запись удалялась сразу, но вместо этого появлялось такое же окно прекращения работы приложения, как по ссылке в моём первом комментарии.
