Sorry, I run out of suggestions.

Windows defender is usually not blocking PMPC.
May be there is a firewall setting preventing the connection home for PMPC.
Which user is running the task, can you change the executing user to yours and check again?

So the scheduled task is hanging, this is a new fact.
Could you check if your anti virus software is blocking PMPC?

Did you set up the scheduled task manually or through PMPC?
If manually, delete the scheduled task and re-create it through PMPC.
Sorry, it is very hard to tell due to the log being not really supportive for this issue.

Have you changed any security settings of Windows or are you running an otherwise manipulated Windows release?
It seems that the scheduled task has not the same rights as the interactive process.

See the attached images for my settings of the scheduler and application.
How are you running PMPC, scheduled through PMPC (like I do), manually or with a custom script?

I am running PMPC as a scheduled task using the silent option and there are no problems, see last log entry below.

No need to delete the thread, it will help others, if they search for a similar issue.

I don't think this is the right place to report this issue, since PeaZip is a different application and has its own forum.
You should contact the PeaZip support from within the help menu of PeaZip.
This forum is just for "Patch My PC", not for any of the applications that you can install through it.

From the log file there should be nothing left to update.
Could you check the uninstall section of PMPC for multiple Firefox entries and remove the older ones?

What is written to the PMPC log file in the same folder where the EXE resides?

PMPC is only supporting the 32-bit release of Adobe Reader, but Adobe Reader is updating itself to the 64-bit release on 64-bit Windows.

Do you see more Vivaldi versions listed in the Uninstaller panel?
If so uninstall the older releases.

What does the PMPC log file tell you about the installation?
You may have to enable it in the options.

Adobe Reader will automatically update once it is installed in the language of the operating system.
In addition the 32- bit release will update to the 64-bit release.
PMPC is only supporting the 32-bit release, since that was the only one available for a very long time.

Have you selected the language you like software to be installed in PMPC, see image below?
