SoftActivity is glad to announce the release of new version 10.1 of Activity Monitor – its leading employee monitoring security solution.

  • Refresh Screen button has been re-added due to requests by our customers. It was previously removed in version 10.0;
  • Tested with Windows 10 Preview. Official support is to be announced upon Windows 10 release;
