Last post by Joe_Gerhard - June 12, 2025, 11:04:07 AM

Hi,

the old version hat a setting for some languages, which was very helpful, as some software is installed in the German version here.
Now every software is overwritten by the English version, not really helpful in some cases.

Please bring back that setting.

Regards,
Joe

Home Updater: General Support and Troubleshooting / Black screen

Last post by BigNick70 - June 12, 2025, 09:28:53 AM

  I just dowloaded the latest version and set it going. During the updates of several apps, the background desktop turned black, with just the Patchmypc window showing.
When the procedure finished, I was left with a black screen.
Not even Task Manager would reset things.
A PC restart was neeeded.
Why?

Home Updater: Report Bugs and Issues Not Related to Installing Apps / Revo Uninstaller showing as wr...

Last post by Markh - June 11, 2025, 02:52:55 AM

I installed the new Home Updater V 5.2.3.0 on my PC and laptop recently. Normally I never bother with user forums but felt I really had to. I have just logged on and this is my first post.


Both PC & laptop versions inform me that I have Revo Uninstaller showing as needing an upgrade to V 2.5.8 when, in fact, I am using Revo Pro (for some years now) at V 5.4.0

There is no way I will let the program try to cause havoc so I took Revo off the search list. I now have to manually check what version I am on for each app so that it does not get screwed up.

I used the old Patch My PC until it just became (let's be honest here) crap. I spotted a comment online about the new app and decided to give it a go. My confidence level is zeroing fast.

Is there something that can be done here? Should I just move on?

Thanks.

Commercial/Paid Products: Support and General Questions (ConfigMgr and Intune) / think-cell catalog item gone?

Last post by shaun.silli - June 10, 2025, 09:00:15 PM

Hi All,

I noticed think-cell deployment is broken in my environment
I tried to recreate it from the App Catalog but can't find it - has that been removed?

also if that is the case was a notification or comms send out about it and I just missed that, or could things disappear at anytime - just for my own curiosity, ill make sure I add a outlook rule for deprecated or removed apps.



Cheers,
Shaun

Home Updater: Report Bugs and Issues Not Related to Installing Apps / Re: When minimised or closed, ...

Last post by vatodeth - June 07, 2025, 03:45:16 PM

I have the same issue. I could not get the ap to open so I can actually use it. I had to use Alt+Space to get the menu to appear and then choose maximize.

Enabled the following under Appearance Options (as advised above):

• minimize to system tray
• close to system tray

The application worked after applying this fix.

NOTE:
It broke again after PMP Home Updater updated itself.
Reapplying the fix resolved the issue.

After posting the preceding message, I experienced the "Fetching preview..." problem when replying to another message. See the "Preview post" section of the attached screenshot. The page being displayed is: forum.patchmypc.com/index.php/board.54/action.post2.html. The occurrence seems random.

Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / Re: Winamp & Adobe Acrobat rea...

Last post by dking02 - June 07, 2025, 01:17:13 AM

It sounds like you have a problem with your installation but you have not provided enough info for PMPC to diagnose it. Please note that v5.9.2 of WinAmp is the version in the Home Updater App Library. Home Updater should recognize it and not need to update it that version is already installed on your machine. There should not be a problem with updating Adobe Acrobat Reader (64-bit) as it is also in the Library, current version 25.001.20521.

I assume your machine complies with the system requirements for running Home Updater v5:

System Requirements:
Internet access
Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime 8.0 (64-Bit)
A 64-bit version of Windows supported by Microsoft either:
- Windows Client: Windows 10 or later
- Windows Server: Windows Server 2016 or later

I suggest you do the following. This requires you to be on Home Updater v5.2.3.0 (6-Jun-2025) or later where the "Create Diagnostic Zip" feature is available:

Go to the About tab and click on the "Create Diagnostic Zip" button. This will create a HomeUpdater-[Date]-[Time].zip file in your Portable locations folder as specified in the Downloads Options in the Settings tab.

Attach the zip file to a follow-up message in this topic to provide the diagnostic data on your installation.
