Thanks for reaching out, can you try a resync. We did have a glitch yesterday

We test every software update using the software updates model in ConfigMgr and WSUS. The detection methods we use for base applications are a little different than updates.

We pay few throusends dollars for your services and visibly, you didn't make correctly your job.

You are 100% right with the quote above. For this change in Adobe Reader in the latest version, we failed to do our part in testing the situations for the change in the name, I'm following up with our team, and I will follow up with you on how we will ensure we catch these situations in the future.

If you download this build, does it work for you? https://patchmypc.com/freeupdater/PatchMyPCBeta.exe

Hey Thomas,

Thanks for the feedback! We will keep your suggestions in mind for a future update.

Thank you for your answer!,

unfortunately, PatchMyPC serves here an excellent example of how usability should not be done :-(

As a note: In our IT, I'm responsible for our approximately 500 employees and I am using PatchMyPC Home Edition to evaluate whether the product would be interesting for us. The features are quite good, but the usability is unfortunately poor, so I will not recommend the product at this time.
I'm pretty sure that the PatchMyPC Home Edition does serve as a test for other users to use at the company, but unfortunately, it gives the impression of a somewhat lovelessly programmed / not yet mature product.

Of course, there are good news: I think there's very little missing: cleaning up the user interface / improving usability and it would be a great product.


To my question to expand / collapse the groups:
Why not just make the search box a bit narrower and place a button next to it with a context menu for the complete Package list?
Of course, it should not just have a long list of unrelated menu item, but in the context of the Package list useful functions?

Code Select Expand


+----------------+ +-----+
| Search box     | | ... |
+----------------+ +-----+
+------------------------+
| Package list           |
| ...

And the functions in the context menu:
• [x] Only display installed packages
• Expand all groups
• Collapse all groups



Thanks a lot, kind regards,
Thomas

To follow up, here's some more details about this question that will be helpful https://patchmypc.com/intune-pricing-and-new-advanced-intune-features-in-enterprise-plus

Does this work? https://patchmypc.com/

Could you provide some more details about what you are seeing? Maybe some screenshots or a video?

Hey Joe,

I just reached out via email.

Thanks George! We don't offer donations today for tax reasons, but the best way to support us is share the news on social media.

Hello,

I am very satisfied with your great program PatchMyPC. Can I make a donation? Preferably not with cryto.

Kind regards, George form Holland

Yes, you can use the home updater.

It looks like this is posted in our free home updater space. Are you using SCCM or Intune or just the home updater?

Hi Mark,


Could you review the following and confirm if the updates were published and if the software update point was synchronized successfully? https://patchmypc.com/troubleshooting-why-third-party-updates-dont-show-in-sccm

Hi,

Been through the setup video but everything looks ok but the PMPC doesn't show as a product under SUP

Any pointers I know this is going to be something small I have missed I guess.

Thanks,

The binaries are downloaded directly from the vendor's website.

Hey,

I am evaluating third-party SCCM/Intune catalogs, Patch My PC seems the most promising, but I have a question.

Does Patch My PC have permission from software vendors to provide updates for their software?

For instance I was reading the EULA for DisplayLink and it says:
10.0.0.0.1 192.168.0.1 192.168.1.254

You may not install, copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works from, rent, sell, distribute, sublicense, offer as a service or transfer any part of the Software except as provided in this EULA or as permitted by applicable law...

So do you have permissions from the vendor? Is it even breaking copyright law as I am not familiar with it.

Thank you in advance.

May I suggest to your techs, to look in the powershell detection script structure, and add hash-type parameter and function to deal with file attribute detection (to match what ConfigMgr offers) much like you have a registry hash-parameter and function?

Would you be able to submit a feature request here https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ to ensure we are tracking this request.

Hi there!

Could you please try to set this option in the registry and restart the service and see if that helps? https://patchmypc.com/advanced-configurations-available-using-the-registry-for-patch-my-pcs-publishing-service#topic6
