I see your post and posted to it the same thing I posted here. Two Browser Guards?
It is a holiday weekend and most of the staff are off. It will be after Tuesday when you get a response.
Interesting. It gave me no indication that it had posted, though I see without the screenshot. I did remove the "older" one from Microsoft Store after making note of my exclusions.

Question? So in order for me to become a beta tester for Malwarebytes do I have to own the product already? I've registered with them but I'm not seeing any actual download links for these beta releases they announce?

Hello @IanMosley and all:

Although the following was seen to be included for testing in the beta version, that fix is NOT presently documented in the release version:

Fixed: DNS - NSLOOKUP command not working when DNS filter enabled on Windows 11

Reference: Malwarebytes for Windows 4.5.13 Release Notes

Perhaps you could edit your post and all will be better...

It's all good and thank you.

Hello @Excursius

Even with all the unseen alpha testing that Malwarebytes' QA folk put into the consumer version of MB4, beta testing always comes with implied risks. A client beta testing system should have recent full backups and possess nothing of personal value, send/receive no email, do no banking or other financial transactions, etc.

HTH
