Last post by Cody Mathis (Patch My PC) - October 29, 2024, 01:12:25 PMHello,
These credentials are not stored locally. We use MSAL, provided by Microsoft, to authenticate to Entra. The token acquired is then used to communicate with our Patch My PC Cloud solution and perform the 'authentication dance' to acquire a token from our cloud service.
The credentials you provide are not stored in any part of this, outside of their use in memory as part of the MSAL authentication process as provided by Microsoft. There is no need to use a service account for this.

Last post by jaymichaud - October 29, 2024, 01:07:23 PMWhen establishing a connection from on-premises Patch My PC Publisher to PMPC Cloud, credentials must be entered. (See https://docs.patchmypc.com/installation-guides/patch-my-pc-cloud/administration/manage-connections/add-a-connection.) Are those credentials stored on the on-premises server, or does the Publisher somehow generate a secure channel independent of those credentials? We are concerned about having a real user's account information saved on the PC running PMPC Publisher, and we can switch to a service account if needed. Thanks!

Last post by Omar (Patch My PC) - October 29, 2024, 08:30:49 AMQuote from: Badkitty on October 29, 2024, 08:13:11 AMIt's almost 2025, and this is STILL a problem. Grateful to have found this workaround, but I shouldn't have to change my primary display every time i want to run an update. Happening in both Windows 10 on one PC, and Windows 11 on another PC. Both fully patched to current Windows versions. Would be great if ya'll found a fix for this, please and thanks.
We just released Home Updater v5.0
And it's made from scratch! please try it out and let us know your feedback!https://patchmypc.com/home-updater

Last post by TJ - October 29, 2024, 04:45:39 AMWhen starting IntelliJ, after the installation from Software Center, there is a popup that asks for Firewall settings with administrator rights. As our users aren't administrator they can't allow it.
Could you add it in the installation script that the firewall rules are set during the installation?

Last post by snukkel - October 29, 2024, 04:08:49 AMWhat i mean is that if the setting: When clicking start updater, automatically minimize Patch my pc, is enabled it is minimized to the system tray when clicking start updater.
So what does the setting: Minimize to system tray instead of the taskbar do? Because The Home Updater isn't minimized to the task bar?

Report Detection Issues Here (Free Home Updater) / Re: Custom version of RustDesk...
Last post by Omar (Patch My PC) - October 29, 2024, 02:44:30 AMWe use start with "RustDesk", But we also can exclude any words from the titles for detection! but it's just called RustDesk right now! So yeah, if you can add an extra word in the title name, we can exclude that word from detection and by then it won't be detected by the home updater by default!
But for now, you can select "Disable Scanning" for RustDesk, although I see that it's going to be an issue telling every customer to do so..

Last post by Omar (Patch My PC) - October 29, 2024, 02:22:49 AMHey snukkel,
Thank you for the suggestion! we will rename this soon.
About "Minimize to the system tray instead of the taskbar" it works fine for me! notice that it's for minimize not close! the close option is right below it.
