CAN I SCHEDULE AUTOMATIC UPDATES WITH PATCH MY PC UPDATER?

Yes, Patch My PC Updater allows you to automatically update software on a
schedule. You can configure the scheduler by turning it on, selecting your
preferred time, and setting the frequency (daily, weekly, etc.).

Once set, the updater will run automatically at the specified times. You can
also enable additional options like running updates ASAP if missed or ensuring
updates occur even if you’re not logged in. Be sure to save your schedule after
configuring it.


HOW DO I UPDATE PATCH MY PC HOME UPDATER TO THE LATEST VERSION?

Patch My PC Updater automatically checks for updates daily via a scheduled task
and also when you close the app. If a new version is available, it will update
itself automatically.

You can also manually check for updates anytime by going to the About tab and
clicking Check for Updates. If you prefer, you can disable the auto-update
feature in the options panel.


WHAT COMMAND LINE OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?

 * /auto (Will run any needed updates automatically with a graphical interface)


CAN I DOWNLOAD THE PREVIOUS PORTABLE VERSION OF HOME UPDATER?

Yes, for now, you can still download the previous portable version of Patch My
PC Home Updater.

However, we plan to have all previous versions automatically upgraded to version
5 in the coming months.


CAN PATCH MY PC UPDATER INSTALL NEW APPS OR JUST UPDATE EXISTING ONES?

Patch My PC Updater can do both. You can install new applications by going to
the App Library, selecting the app you want, and checking the box next to it.
Even if the app isn’t currently installed, Patch My PC will install it for you.

 * /s (Will run any needed updates automatically with no graphical interface)
 * /auto (Will run any needed updates automatically with a graphical interface)


WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PORTABLE AND NON-PORTABLE APP?

A portable app in the Home Updater is an application that doesn’t actually
install on your PC. Instead, portable apps download into the folder you select
in the “Portables Location” as shown in the screenshot below.

Portable apps will download as an EXE or ZIP file directly. We will only detect
and update portable apps that were originally downloaded through the Home
Updater.


WILL HOME UPDATER VERSION 4 (PORTABLE) AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE TO VERSION 5 (MSI)?

The Portable of Home Updater (v4) will not automatically update to Version 5
right now. Version 5 was available for download via an MSI installer on October
22, 2024. We plan to gradually begin auto-upgrading users from the Version 4
portable app to Version 5 over the next couple of months.

If you prefer to upgrade immediately, you can download the MSI version linked
above and manually delete your previous portable version.


CAN I USE THE PATCH MY PC HOME UPDATER IN A COMMERCIAL/BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT?

No, the Home Updater is provided for free and is restricted to non-commercial
use only.

Please review Section 7 of our Terms of Service in the Home Updater installer
for more details; the Home Updater is intended for consumer use only.

For business purposes, please explore our commercial solutions.
