Microsoft Edge (32-bit), version 120.0.2210.77

[00Eraser00]

Here's the output of my sigcheck, format of the output looks a bit different.

I used the -a switch for additional version information.

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for their feedback.
We will change the way these are detected in UCheck next release.

Hi Curson:

I updated to the latest UCheck Free Portable 64-Bit v5.2.2.0 (released 09-Jan-2024) and can confirm that UCheck is no longer incorrectly recommending BETA / Preview updates for my MS Edge (Stable Release Channel) browser.

My main concern now is that I have the latest MS Edge v120.0.2210.133 (released 11-Jan-2024, see release history at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-relnote-stable-channel) but UCheck currently reports that the LATEST version is the older v120.0.2210.121 (released 05-Jan-2024).  Unfortunately, it's not unusual for VERSION to be greater than LATEST for many of my fully "Compatible" applications, and I assume this is because the automated bots that scan documentation on the web looking for new releases of "Compatible" programs can be very slow finding this information.

UCheck v5.2.2 still detects my 64-bit MS Edge browser as a 32-bit application (see attached image, scan log and debug log) but I personally am not overly concerned about this since I would never use UCheck to install / update / uninstall my MS Edge browser.  I use Firefox as my default browser and if UCheck eventually reports that MS Edge requires an update I will trigger the update manually in MS Edge at Help and Feedback | About Microsoft Edge.  Here's an excerpt from my latest UCheck scan log:

Hi

From the logs in UCheck

************************* Updates *************************
Microsoft Edge (32-bit), version 120.0.2210.121
 

• Available Version        : 120.0.2210.133
• Wow6432                  : Yes
• Portable                 : No
• update_location          : C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application

I went in to MS and did the update all good.

Just need it to detect it as the 64 Bit Version.

Hi lmacri, mrhappy1525,

Thanks your both for your feedback.

Unfortunately, it's not unusual for VERSION to be greater than LATEST for many of my fully "Compatible" applications, and I assume this is because the automated bots that scan documentation on the web looking for new releases of "Compatible" programs can be very slow finding this information.

There is two reason for this. Indeed your scrapping bot only check a specific application for update a few times a day. Also, official documentation or changelog update may be delayed a lot.
With bad timing, we can miss an application update for quite some time.

UCheck v5.2.2 still detects my 64-bit MS Edge browser as a 32-bit application (see attached image, scan log and debug log)

The task is indeed still prending. Because of hollidays, we are running late on schedule.

Regards.

Hi Curson,

just wanting to let you know, the same problem seems to exist with the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. UCheck detects it as 32-bit too.

From the log:

Hi 00Eraser00,

This will be fixed in UCheck next release.

Hi,
Is this still an issue with UCheck 5.3.0 ?
Thanks,

[lmacri]

... Is this still an issue with UCheck 5.3.0 ?

Hi @Tigzy:

If you are asking if Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime are still reported as 32-bit applications then the answer is Yes.The good news is that UCheck is only recommending updates for stable releases of my Edge browser (i.e., UCheck is not recommending unwanted Insider Preview or other BETA builds).

I'm currently using 64-bit UCheck Free Portable v5.3.0.0 on my Win 10 Pro v22H2 machine. 

An image of the Installed tab of my UCheck interface plus scan and debug logs for today (07-Mar-2024) are attached.

Just note that I didn't receive an automated email notification yesterday that this thread had been updated, so I'm not sure if other users subscribed to this thread have read your latest post yet.

Hi Tigzy,

for me, it's the same as Imacri. Even with UCheck 5.3.1.0 it's still reporting as a 32-bit application when in fact it's a 64-bit application. But the update recommendations seem to be fixed.

I as well received no notification that the thread was updated, although I've subscribed to it by checking "Notify me of replies."
