v0.5.8

What's New

🖊️ RDP File Signing & Shortcut Management

• Multi-shortcut editing & signing — You can now edit multiple shortcuts and properly sign advanced shortcuts.
• ALT+TAB behavior control — Added the ability to change ALT+TAB behavior and edit shortcut filenames.
• Accelerated signing pipeline — RDP file signing is now powered by a dedicated RdpSignTool.exe, which can be built via build.bat (which invokes a PS script).
• Fixed signature corruption — Resolved an issue where signing the RDP file would corrupt it if certain fields were mismatched.

🎨 UI & Visual Improvements

• Progress bar & background fixes — Most visual glitches with progress bars and backgrounds have been resolved (a few edge cases remain).
• Smoother navigation — Adjusted progress messages so they no longer pause when clicking the Next button.

📋 RDP Info Page Enhancements

• Listening status — The Show RDP Info page now displays a Listening status line item.
• Corrected version detection — The wrapper file version is now correctly detected on the RDP Info page.
• Cleaner layout — Removed the unnecessary [Next] button from the Show RDP Info page.

🛡️ Detections & Warnings

• Razer Cortex detection — The installer now detects Razer Cortex and displays a warning to uninstall or disable the Boost feature (which can turn off RDP).

🔧 Installer & Wizard Improvements

• TermWrap handling — Changed the TermWrap installation action to "Upgrade TermWrap" and enables it by default if a different version is detected.
• Removed outdated security warning — Removed the extra warning on the completion page that referred to the April 2026 RDP security changes by Microsoft.
• Desktop shortcut confirmation — The final message now explicitly indicates that shortcuts were created on the Desktop.
• Enhanced debug logging — Added additional debug logging for user creation and RDP shortcut operations.

• Small open source projects often trigger antivirus warnings due to low download counts. These typically resolve as adoption increases. You can verify safety via the VirusTotal analysis, review the source code directly, or report specific alerts as issues.

v0.5.7

Features/Fixes:

• FIX: TermWrap.dll (the brains that run RDPWrapKit after it is installed) was updated to v0.6 to handle newer versions of Windows 11. Many thanks to @llccd for fixing TermWrap, and thanks to Divyn for finding the bug)

v0.5.6

Features/Fixes:

• FIX: Windows 11 Home popped up 'Unknown Publisher' warnings (as part of April 2026 Windows Updates). RDPSign.exe not included in "Home" editions, so this was replaced with a novel PowerShell method that does the exact same thing. As far as I can tell, no one has ever reverse-engineered the way I have (with the help of AI). This is my commitment to making this work for both Home and Pro users.

v0.5.5

• If RDP+ shortcuts are found on the desktop, assume the default to create from existing users on the PC
