Code:
[Fixed] Issues in Windows 10 Insider Preview build caused by SHA-1 certificate used for network drivers. [url=https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/915][url=https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/915]#915[/url][/url]
Let us elaborate a little on this one, since this change stands out as the most important one in this update. Recently we have noticed, with the help of our beta testers, that SHA-1 certificate previously used to sign our network drivers, was in a process of being deprecated. Effectively this means that users of Windows 10 Insider Preview were not able to enable Adguard protection. We have signed our network drivers with new certificates, and now all users will be able to run Adguard without any problems.
