What's Changed
Features

Bulk Crap Uninstaller v6.0
This release requires at least .NET 8.0 to function, which means only Windows 10 and newer are officially supported. If you have an unsupported OS you may have to use v5.9 instead if the current releases can't be launched.
Since there are now no supported x86 versions of Windows, the releases will no longer include x86 builds. If you somehow have an x86 system that is supported, you can use the AnyCPU portable build or download the source and build to x86 yourself (it still works fine).

Bulk Crap Uninstaller v5.9
What's Changed
Packaging Changes
- The setup is now significantly smaller and no longer includes the portable version.
- BCU is now distributed as a framework-dependent application. If .NET 6 is not installed, the installer will automatically download and install it. If you need a stand-alone build like in the previous releases, download the portable version.
Code Signing
- BCU executables and installer are no longer signed. While signing helped reduce false antivirus detections, it also caused some issues. For more details, see discussion #737. Code signing may return if a solution is found.
Fixes and improvements
- Fix bug: Software installed by Chocolatey 2.0.0+ may not be listed due to a removed command parameter by @szw0407 in #711

- Fix restore point confirmation message never appearing by @Klocman in #760
- Be more careful around Known Folders (especially Downloads) by @Klocman in #761
- Fix SubPathIsInsideBasePath returning false for exact match by @Klocman in #764 (This affects junk generation and a few other things. Fixes some random issues and potentially improves junk detection.)
- Resolve various compiler warnings by @Klocman in #766
Installer
- Installer script improvement by @bovirus in #710
- Installer: Use AnyCPU build and auto install .NET6 if needed (portable install no longer possible) by @Klocman in #765
