Soon we will start using the multi-language Firefox installer for the home updater, which should retain your chosen language
But for now, you can always change the language in Firefox from: Tools > Settings > General: Language

Support and General Questions (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Re: PatchMyPCService high CPU ...
Last post by tajeke - March 29, 2024, 04:58:57 PMThe PatchMyPCService during publishing typically uses about 40-60% CPU usage. However, this can vary based on factors such as hardware configuration and workload. Since you're running it on the Primary Site Server with only 2 vCPUs @2.6GHz, this usage level seems reasonable. Keep in mind that the recommended hardware requirement for a Software Update Point (SUP) is 8 CPU cores and 16GB of memory1. If you plan to scale for ConfigMgr, consider increasing the CPU cores to at least 4 and monitor the impact. 😊

Report Publishing/Download/Hash Issues (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Unwanted Behavior for new App ...
Last post by Fadderson - March 28, 2024, 09:41:35 AMHello!
following scenario:
You have an application created in PMP, lets say it's the common Microsoft App "Powertoys".
You allow your IT Admins to add groups to this App via INTUNE.
Your IT Admins add some groups as REQUIRED for Install.
There is a new version for that app that is automatically added via Publisher.
You have configured the app so it copies all the assignments to the new app version.
Now in Intune, there will be a new app package and it will also likely contain the REQUIRED assignments.
-> What will happen now? The clients will instantly receive the new app version because it is now assigned as REQUIRED just like the previous app version.
Our question is, how can we prevent this? We don't want all the clients to instantly receive the new update because that's the task of the "Update for" packages, that will also automatically be created.
The update package is configured with deferal times, similar to a ring deployment concept. This is done by adding availability times in the config in PMP.
When PMP automatically creates a new app package and copies all the required assignments from the old version, this behavior destroys the update concept of the app and rather than a ring deployment, we suddenly have a big bang update.
Is there any way to tackle this?
Regards, Dominic

Last post by funkytechmonkey - March 28, 2024, 06:18:21 AMLong time admirer, first time poster..
This is probably more of a general SCCM question but hopefully one of you guys can help me out with this.
We give users a 14 day grace period to reboot after updates have been deployed (I don't agree with this, but out of my hands) Something very common I see is users and our service desk try to install software from software center and it fails. Its just a generic error and doesn't give the user any information like "Failed because pending reboot".
Is there anything I can do about this? I am the lone SCCM admin and still learning so any help would be great.

I have a client's computer running Windows 7 x64 SP1. EVERYTHING works flawlessly on the machine, except for Patch My PC just won't run. It simply starts and then quits. I just don't understand it as it runs on 99.999% of the computers I run it on without issue.
