Hey Shaun,

Thank you for reaching out to support with your query.

Yes, you are right. We have removed think-cell from PMPC catalog. You can read more info here : https://patchmypc.com/kb/removal-think-cell-from-patch/

Regards,
Raunak

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

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.

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.

Thanks. I was hoping that someone else might have encountered or be familiar with the problem. I will try to capture more info the next time I encounter the problem. I don't know if there are cases where this problem is repeatable.

Given that the forum is hosted on a server running Simple Machines Forum (SMF) software, all that is required on the client side is a browser capable of handling the dynamic web pages (HTML5 and CSS3) generated by the forum server. It appears that in some cases the server is not generating or not returning the updated web page with the rendered preview. Not much can be done on the client side to resolve forum problems, other than possibly clearing the browser cache, disabling extensions, or changing browsers or machines.

QuoteI have an entry for RogueKiller Portable (x64) in the Uninstaller tab which I am unable to uninstall.
[2025-03-24 21:35:18]  DEBUG  [RogueKiller Portable (x64)]: started uninstaller
[2025-03-24 21:35:18]  ERROR  System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File not found

Update (6/6/2025): I have been able to resolve the subject problem using the data in the "registry info.txt" file provided by the Diagnostic.zip feature added in today's release of v5.2.3.

The file listed a registry key for RogueKiller Portable (x64) that remained after it had been renamed to Adlice Protect. Deleting that key resulted in removal of RogueKiller Portable (x64) from the Uninstaller tab (filter = All Apps) following a rescan.

RegKey = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PatchMyPCPortableApps\RogueKiller Portable (x64)
