Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of KeePass 2.15.

What's new in this version:

New Features:
- Added option to show the master key dialog on a secure desktop (similar to Windows' UAC; almost no keylogger works on a secure desktop; the option is disabled by default for compatibility reasons).
- Added option to limit the number of history items per entry (the default is 10).
- Added option to limit the history size per entry (the default is 6 MB).
- Added {PICKCHARS} placeholder, which shows a dialog to pick certain characters from an entry string; various options like specifying the number of characters to pick and conversion to down arrow keypresses are supported; see the one page long documentation on the auto-type help page; the less powerful {PICKPASSWORDCHARS} is now obsolete (but still supported for backward compatibility).
- The character picking dialog now remembers and restores its last position and size.
- KDBX file format: attachments are now stored in a pool within the file and entries reference these items; this reduces the file size a lot when there are history items of entries having attachments.
- KDBX file format: attachments are now compressed (if the compression option is enabled) before being Base64-encoded, compressed and encrypted; this results in a smaller file, because the compression algorithm works better on the raw data than on its encoded form.
- PLGX plugins can now be loaded on Unix-like systems, too.
- Added option to specify a database color; by specifying a color, the main window icon and the tray icon are recolored and the database tab (shown when multiple databases are opened in one window) gets a colored rectangle icon.
- New rich text builder, which supports using multiple languages in one text (e.g. different Chinese variants).
- Added 'Sort By' popup menu in the 'View' menu.
- Added context menu commands to sort subgroups of a group.
- Added option to clear master key command line parameters after using them once (enabled by default).
- Added application policies to ask for the current master key before changing the master key and/or exporting.
- Added option to also unhide source characters when unhiding the selected characters in the character picking dialog.
- Added ability to export custom icons.
- Added 'String' trigger condition.
- Added support for importing DataViz Passwords Plus 1.007 CSV files.
- Enhanced 1Password Pro importer to also support 1PW CSV files.
- Enhanced FlexWallet importer to also support version 2006 XML files (in addition to version 1.7 XML files).
- Enabled auto-suggest for editable drop-down combo boxes (and auto-append where it makes sense).
- Pressing Ctrl+Enter in the rich text boxes of the entry dialog and the custom string dialog now closes with OK (if possible).
- Added option to cancel auto-type when the target window changes.
- Auto-type on Unix-like systems: added support for key modifiers.
- Added '--saveplgxcr' command line option to save compiler results in case the compilation of a PLGX plugin fails.
- Added workaround for % .NET SendKeys issue.
- Added workaround for Mono bug 620618 in the main entry list.

Improvements / Changes:
- Improved key file suggestion performance.
- When the master key change application policy is disabled and the master key expires (forced change), KeePass now shows the two information dialogs only once per opening.
- After removing the password column, hiding behind asterisks is suggested by default now when showing the column again.
- TAN entries now expire on auto-type, if the option for expiring TANs on use is enabled.
- Auto-type now sends acute and grave accents as separate characters.
- Auto-type now explicitly skips the taskbar window when searching for the target window.
- Multiple lines are now separated in the entry list and in the custom string list of the entry dialog by a space.
- RoboForm importer: improved multiline value support.
- Improved UNC path support.
- Improved entry list refresh performance.
- Improved UI state update performance.
- Entry list context menus are now configured instantly.
- Inapplicable group commands are now disabled.
- Improved control focusing.
- Improved clipboard handling.
- Copying and pasting whole entries is now also supported on Windows 98 and ME.
- Improved releasing of dialog resources.
- Improved keys/placeholders box in auto-type editing dialog.
- Improved user-friendliness in UAC dialogs.
- Tooltips of the tab close button and the password repeat box can be translated now.
- Improved help (moved placeholders to separate page, ...).
- KeePassLibSD now uses the SHA-256 implementation of Bouncy Castle.
- Upgraded installer.
- Various code optimizations.
