This release introduces a lot of new features and fixes so be sure to enable Early access program on some of your computers to try this out:

- Various fixes and improvements related to proxy handling, downloading of updates, device control, access control, software updater, browsing protection, firewall and other areas
- Added support for Chromium based Microsoft Edge browser.
- Automated tasks. You can use CRON-like scheduler to run these types of tasks:
- Product update (yes, you can schedule when to update now)
- Malware scan
- Software updater tasks: scan for missing updates, install missing updates
- Shutdown, restart, hibernate
- AMSI (Antimalware Scanning Interface) integration: added option to turn it off, added alerts to show blocks on portal

- This dialog allows now to report false positive
