Patch My PC Home Updater Overview

Our Home Updater is a free, easy-to-use program that keeps over 300 applications up-to-date on your computer. It is an easy way to update or install a large list of programs on to your computer.

When you open Patch My PC Updater, it will scan your system for outdated programs.

  • Outdated programs will be shown in – Red
