I took a screenshot but there is no way to upload it. The applications that need updating are in red, when I click on download it says "downloading" then stops.

I was running a prior version of the software, and having no issues with clicking on the outdated software, which installed without any problems.  With the latest version, v.5.1.0.0, I click on the Outdated area(PMPC1), UPDATING(PMPC2), DOWNLOADING 0.0%(PMPC3) message appears, does not advance, and the screen reverts back to Outdated(PMPC1). The end result is no update occurs.
My system is running Windows 10 Home, 64 bit.

Could you please send the log file located at: C:\ProgramData\PatchMyPCHomeUpdater after trying to update apps?

I do not have  C:\ProgramData\PatchMyPCHomeUpdater, I do have  C:\ProgramData\PatchMyPC and if I attempt to view that, get a security related message saying I am denied.

That's not the right folder location is should be: C:\ProgramData\PatchMyPCHomeUpdater
