Hi,
I wanted to ask how others are handling this, or if we're missing something about the way PatchMyPC works. PatchMyPC application updates (I believe with both ConfigMgr and Intune) are unable to update applications that were 1.) installed manually by a user and 2.) installed to the user's profile, rather than the system.
Zoom Meetings is a good example. We do not use Zoom in our organization, but if a user joins an external Zoom meeting, the Zoom Meeting client will install to their user profile. PatchMyPC is unable to update this. Zoom is obviously quite popular, so now we have many unpatched versions of Zoom Meetings in environment.
Zoom is popular enough where it may make sense to simply deploy the client to the entire workstation environment, but there are many other applications that can be installed in the user profile but where it does not make sense to deploy globally.
Just looking for feedback on this topic. Thanks.
