Support for Windows built-in Linux graphics
(Windows 10 21H2, 22H2) The isolator module adds support for Windows built-in Linux graphics, which add sound support and boost performance significantly. To configure the FortiNBI isolator module to use the Windows built-in Linux graphics, run the wsl –update
command and install the software. Alternatively, configure Windows Update in one the following ways:
-
Enable Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows under Windows Update > Advanced options
-
Use Group Policy
-
Use Windows registry
New Start and Stop buttons
FortiNBI 1.0.6 adds the Start and Stop buttons for you to manually start or stop a specific service.
Improvements to collecting debug logs
FortiNBI 1.0.6 collects debug logs into a single archive file accessible via the new Collect user logs and Collect all logs buttons in the About tab. The Collect user logs button collects logs for the user while the Collect all logs button collects the user’s logs AND service logs. Privilege is required to access service logs to protect other users' data on the machine.
