WizTree is a very fast disk space analyzer and search tool, scanning a single folder or your entire hard drive quickly and showing those files and folders using the most disk space. The program uses the NTFS Master File Table (MFT) feature in Windows to rapidly view files.
Note that this high-speed mode is limited to local, NTFS-formatted drives. The program must do a (much slower) scan of FAT-formatted or network drives for analysis.

I don't know if this is the case in Windows 11, but in Windows 10 the new "Windows 11 style" UI seems noticeably laggier.
v4.15
Just downloaded the latest portable version, and it asks for admin permission. That is a no no for me.
Looking at the manifest it says: AsInvoker, so i'm not sure why it would ask.
v4.13
I've posted in the forum about this issue. I'd like to know if anyone else is having this problem.
v3.36
Yes, it's official site policy to conduct malware related discussions in the forums. Please do.
v3.36
No idea what to tell you, 3.35 does not do this, 3.36 does... Guess we need more people to chime in here.
I'm also going to delete my comments "soon-ish" here because this is not the place to do troubleshooting, posting IPs, ect. Maybe the forums is better place for back and forth or PMs.
v3.36
This now phones home (firewall will ask you if you want to allow "some" connection) with the latest release (v3.36) despite having all kind of options like "check for updates" turned off.
Similarly, this happened too with WizFile when v3.00 came out, which they then fixed in the update v3.01...;

v3.36
Anyway,
Real mensch(en) öffnen Wiztree folders nur mit CLI, Jawhol ?...;-)
v3.32
Thanks for checking, TP109, that's precisely what I meant.
v3.32
I looked into it a bit more. WizTree will open a folder if it's dropped on the program's shortcut or on the executable itself (wiztree.exe). It doesn't appear to work for folders dropped on the GUI.
v3.32
Noticed the same thing here, I reverted back personally, and frankly this "change" is enough to keep me from updating to future versions. The dev is very good about these things though, so maybe he'll revert these changes back if he knew there were issues, he's somewhat active (I think) on these here forums.
If it ain't broke...
v4.15
