- Fixed drop down list order not matching stored camera order

USB Test
- Added USB Enumeration Test
- Added option to disable Windows USB Connect/Disconnect Sound during testing

Video Playback Test
- Added new 1080p H.264 video as default.
- Fixed issue where video window wouldn't correctly resize for videos with larger aspect ratios

Misc
- Ported BurnInTest to ARM64
- Added option to disable sleep while running tests
- Added option to highlight traces on graphs in battery, frequency, temperature tabs
- Added management console status to bottom right of the status bar
- Added option to print stickers with PC Specs, can also add QR Code when BurnInTest is connected to a Management Console and have test results. QR Code links to the test results page
- Added option to scroll through available test selection menu
- Added option to deactivate/deregister license in the Help menu
- Show Actual Elapsed Testing Time, BurnInTest Start/End Test Time/Duration is in real time and includes the time the system may spend in sleep/suspended state. If the system was sleep/suspended during testing, BurnInTest will now also show time the system is actually running tests
- Changed Exit Code to match behavior when running from script. Exit form GUI or Script "EXIT", exit code will be 1 for errors during testing or 0 for success
- Changed default window size to take up to 80% of the screen area
- Improved key abuse detection, BurnInTest now requires an active Internet connection (with exception for site licenses)
- Improved responsiveness of UI
- Display an icon next to the pre-test items in the dashboard tile view

Can you install the Beta Version of BurnIn Test 11 with BurnIn Test V10 Installed? I would like to try the Beta Version, but I want to keep V10 installed.

Thanks

Hi,
I found the AMD9000 version in another post, which has a working CPU temp now (Yeah!). But no RAM Temp, and I see you've added that to V11 Beta, but alas no AMD 9000 version is listed.

Any eta on this?

Thank You!

Beta 16 - 16th October 2024:

- 3D Test, Removed DX9 test option
- 3D Test, Fixed issue where DX12 test was reporting incorrect "User Quit" errors when the test was stopped
- Adv Net Test, Adjustment of throttling code to target the load % better
- CPU Test, Fixed issue where some CPUs incorrectly reported SSe4a errors
- CPU Test, Disabled AMD only SSE4a extension instruction test by default
- PCIe Test, Fixed issue where benchmark test threads weren't checking if the test wasn't running
- USB Test, Fixed off by one error where first usb tester could not be found
- USB Test, Fixed idle usb threads generating errors when tests are running on another thread
- Event Log, Updated to display power status changes, e.g. Sleep/Hibernation, Batter saver ON/OFF, Display On/Off/Dimmed
- Event Log, Updated to display individual tests starting/stopping messages to the list view

Beta 17 - 21st October 2024:
- Battery Test, Changed so events like sleep, hibernation, or AC power plug/unplug are counted as test failures
- Battery Test, Resolved issue where battery status was not properly retrieved when AC power was plugged/unplugged
- NPU, Inference Test - Changed from Percentage base verification to Absolute diff when verifying the NPU's calculation was correct. With Intel's latest NPU drivers system load is now correctly reported at 100% on the NPU in task manager.
- Graphs, Fixed selecting plot line not selecting the same item in list view
- Graphs, Fixed plot lines not reverting back to default width when selecting another plot
- Corrected Actual Test Time output in the test results/certification
- Implemented check for the system's current power state during the test
- Installer, Changed to only install legacy DirectIO device driver on older machines. Legacy DirectIO is required on Win7 and early Win10 machines, but is less secure that the latest driver, which is used on Win10 & 11 machines. Previously both versions were installed on disk, even if the Legacy version was never used. This previously pointlessly triggered some security scanning solutions.

This might be the final beta release before the final release.
