Report Bugs and Issues (Free Home Updater) / Legacy support seems to have v...

Last post by Nicky - Today at 02:26:58 AM

   I'm using windows XP 32-bit for software compatibility reasons too irritating to recount, but also, avoiding bloatware, etc. (This system actually is 64-bit, and dual-boots to Linux Mint as well) So, via https://patchmypc.com/home-updater (as suggested in the Feb. 2023 issue of APC magazine) I thought to try "For Windows XP, you can download a legacy support version that uses Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 here: https://patchmypc.com/freeupdater/PatchMyPCLegacySupport.exe " as the system does indeed have .NET 3.5...
   But this leads to 404 Page not found.

   I can of course chug along with manual updates (where still available for XP) but the hope was to have the petty details attended to automatically. Oh well.
   Is there some place where the old version can be found, or is it now banished?

Report Bugs and Issues (Free Home Updater) / Cannot get updates to install

Last post by [email protected] - March 29, 2023, 02:39:18 PM

Definitions appear to be downloaded. Activity starts but first program does not install. I can see the first program .exe file in the patchmypcupdates folder on the C drive but it sits there. What can I do. It was working fine before the weekend. I will be grateful for any help and advice

Support and General Questions (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Chrome stopped updating after ...

Last post by cgriff36 - March 28, 2023, 11:05:15 AM

My ADR no longer see's any new Chrome updates that are being published from patchmypc. I'm not seeing any errors or warnings on the patchmypc side. I had to manually install updates for chrome last month... This morning I get another email about a new chrome update in PMP - Google Chrome 111.0.5563.147 (x64)   3/28/2023 8:10:21 AM   92.15 MB   Updates   Moderate and it's green. I go into SCCM and the ADR doesn't see it, all updates doesn't see it. Any ideas on what I should check? It seems like other PMP updates are working so it's confusing why the Chrome issue. I've never had issues with chrome in the past.

Thanks for reaching out. We do sympathise with your position but unfortunately there is nothing we can do here. I would advise reaching out to Adobe and they may be able to give more advice on why their installers are being flagged, incorrectly, by some Anti-Virus vendors.

No worries, I wasn't blaming you guys. I think the issue lies with Defender detection, like AndAuf mentioned above. I will try and find out what it is specifically about installer.bin that triggers the incident and will report back here if I do.

Thanks very much for your prompt response Ben.

I did try a manual sync later on that morning, but it too failed & had failed for the previous 2 consecutive days.
However, the scheduled sync ran successfully overnight and produced the expected email.
I'll keep an eye on it and let you know if I require further assistance.

thanks
Marinko

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Response 429 is an error returned from Graph when the connection request has been rate limited. This is normally a non issue when you retry the Graph call again. Happy to help further if you reached out to us at https://patchmypc.com/technical-support so we can begin an investigation

I think, MS messed something up with the wacatac detection. We had faklse positives for docker containers when updating docker
