Took some time but I found out what happened: when PatchMyPC starts it automatically takes the keyboard focus and any keyboard input is directed to the toggle button near "Main Software", when then the space button is pressed all software is automatically selected for installation. As I use the space button very much (for stating/stopping audio) the only thing that wonders me is why this has not happened earlier...

Technically this may not be a bug, however I think it is a very good idea to change this behavior for it has a large risk of creating unintended (and unattended) installations of a large amount of software.

with kind regards, Harry

Hi - the parameters you supply will be appended to the default parameters that we supply (install --quiet), so you just need to add:

--accept-license --backend=hyper-v

Support and General Questions (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Modify Command Line

Last post by uni_techie - April 16, 2024, 08:21:19 AM

Fairly new to using patch my pc, other than in its out of the box setup to update and install applications.

I need to slightly alter one application, Docker for Windows

From what i can tell from the right click menu and selecting Package Details, see Screenshot 2024-04-16 151656.png

I am required to install docker at my company silently with the following command

Code Select Expand

Docker Desktop Installer.exe install --quiet --accept-license --backend=hyper-v
My query is using the modify command right click menu, is it as simple as just adding the lines

Code Select Expand

--accept-license --backend=hyper-v as seen in Screenshot 2024-04-16 151800.png

Or would i need to include the entire command line of

Code Select Expand

install --quiet --accept-license --backend=hyper-v
If this is the completely wrong place any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The Modify Published Updates Wizard should work on a WID database with no changes, as it uses the WSUS commands to access the database. I am guessing that your database is quite large, which is causing the slowness (or even timeouts). I would recommend running the native WSUS cleanup routines (probably a few times) to see if that speeds things up.

The Publisher defaults to "Full Content" for updates so that they are immediately available to ConfigMgr for deployment. You can right-click updates in ConfigMgr and set them to "Metadata Only" to not bring in the content, however, if you need to deploy the update later, you will need to switch those products back to "Full Content" and run another Patch My PC Sync to make the content available for ConfigMgr to deploy.

Hey All,

Love using this software at work. I saw there was a home version which has been as nice to use as the enterprise version.

I have a couple of requests for software that I use that I would like to in the catalogue.

Ungoogled Chromium: Msi Installer https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/releases/windows/64bit/

LGTV Companion: Msi Installer https://github.com/JPersson77/LGTVCompanion

NVCleanstall: .exe installer https://www.techpowerup.com/nvcleanstall/ (Silent install flag /install https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/are-there-any-silent-install-switches-for-nvcleanstall.273727/)

Thank you all for all your work!

Support and General Questions (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / WSUS Wizard

Last post by mpotase - April 15, 2024, 01:00:18 PM

Trying to run the WSUS "Modify Updates Wizard" to clean up Update ServicesPackages. however it just sits on Collecting Data. Currently this is running a WID Database. We are eventually Migrating to a new site which is running on SQL and that site has not issue loading the wizard. Is something needed to allow PMPC to read the WID DB?

secondary question why does PMPC download content for application updates when no Deployments have been made for the updates Autocad is consuming a lot of data in our Wsus\Updateservicespackages folder.

General Questions (Free Home Updater) / Re: Patch My PC won't run

Last post by stephaniewhitlow - April 15, 2024, 07:17:52 AM

Some antivirus or security software may interfere with Patch My PC's operation. Temporarily disable any security software and see if Patch My PC runs without issues.

Also review the Windows Event Viewer for any additional error messages or clues that might help identify the root cause of the problem.
