Hi Omar,

there are glitches regarding pmpc v5.001 task scheduler: the problems are repeatabe on different systems
- the scheduled time (always 00:00) and start date will not be set correctly

Running v5. Task scheduler is running every day but outdated apps not updating.  I thought it might require enabling the auto-update when opening PMPC feature, but that only got the apps updated when I actually ran the GUI.

Would love to have a way for PCs to update without admin users.

Scheduled task updating only works if "When opening PMPC, automatically start updating outdated apps" is enabled.  I think a different toggle here would be helpful, mostly because I don't want apps to start updating just because I opened the GUI.  I may be checking on an issue and don't want to make it worse.  Maybe a troubleshooting commandline switch that opens PMPC with default settings (nothing automatic)?
